We need the A26 like we needed the B29.  A: it would not be filling and gaps in the AH plane set.  B: we already have the A20, B26, Mossi IV, IL-2, and a whole host of jabo aircraft.  D: I count 37 more important aircraft to add to AH (don't make me list them  :D ).  D: HTC has many other more important things to work on than another "flash-bang" project.

Regarding the Firefly's TD's designation- Even if the terminology was not there, the doctrine was.  The Firefly's did not over-take 75mm armed Cromwell and Sherman tanks for a multitude of reasons, most notably the Firefly's lackluster HE capability and the less than desired ability to manufacture/deliver enough of them to the western front.  Hence, having 1 Firefly mixed in with 3-4 Cromwell or Sherman tanks for the sole purpose of engaging German armor.  Obviously, when called upon or when in a pinch the Firefly was going to set aside the AP and do all it could do with its weaker (and much slower firing) HE.

i dare you, i double dare you to name one plane/gv/sheep than can have a role that cannot be fulfill by any plane currently in the game.  I am pretty sure there's a thousand other airplanes that could be added to the game and no add anything that is currently available.

PBY-5A

I'd like to know which aircraft can currently fly slower than 180mph with no guns.

Ok, why are we going with a Hetzer, I hate the Hetzer, it's almost as bad as a Japanese tank. It's poorly armoured ( so is the M-18) but, it just barely was even any effect, you have to turn the dumb thing just to aim it ( Like other German tanks, Wilco Tango Foxtrot). However if we were going to look at German tank destroyers, look at an Elefant, Nashorn, Jagpanther (or Jagtiger).


But what do we forget all the time?

EARLY WAR TANKS

Lets get like an M3 Stuart or something, we're pretty much over loaded with late wars, time to balance the EW & LWs....

there is already a anti tank destroyer destroyer its called an M3 GMC.. or an m8.. or a jeep



but im +1 for earlier tanks they seem to have a pretty decent upper hand in tank battles and are not always the easiest things to shoot at(and hit)...
