well arlo, please contradict me about a26 being faster, having more internal ord capacity (think about why this is important) and better defensive capabilities.

hey and please order another box you already ate the first one.

Don't focus on internal load. Total load is what matters. Do you only fly with internal load in the MA?

Since the sources pretty much have them equal with the exception of strafing, and even then it depends,
I think it's pretty safe to say a superiority foot-stomp fest isn't anything but a clown-show.  :D

if the argument is bomb load, the tupolev tu-2s is the winner at between 8300lbs and 8818lbs (combind internal and external stores) vs the a-26b/c at 6000lbs (4000lbs internal and 2000lbs on the wings).

speed goes to the a26b/c. defensive armament goes to the a-26b/c even though the tu-2s had 2 wing mounted 20mm cannons.

I don't know if the defensive guns are better in the A-26 than in the Tu-2, frankly, they seem to be just about the same in that regards, especially when comparing the Tu-2S with the A-26B.

The answer was straight. You just didn't understand it. I've grown used to that.

Cheer up, kid. Maybe this'll help (a pic's worth 1k words, yaknow):

On both planes. Drop em and you're clean .... again, on both.
