A-26 Invader

[Yossarian]

Well, someone just bumped that He-111 thread, and I decided that it's been way too long since the last A-26 request.  So, here goes:



Here's a link to a very recent post with videos about the A-26:

And here's the video website itself:

Now, as for why I think we should have this aeroplane next:

a) It came out in 3rd place in the vote HiTech Creations held, below the B-25 (first place) and the P-39 (second place).  We have had both the B-25 and P-39 added already, so it would make sense that the A-26 be added next.  After that, in my opinion the other planes in the vote should be added, according to what people wanted the most.  The results of that vote are in this thread:

b) It would be a very popular aeroplane amongst many players.  Whilst I am aware that there are a lot of people who want the He-111, the speed, survivability and firepower of the A-26 Invader would give it a very prominent role as a light bomber.

c) The A-26 is a good enough aeroplane in my view that it would be worthy of a perk point price.  If this were the case, it would give us all a much-needed way to spend our bomber perks (aside from the Ar-234).

If anyone is interested about finding out more about this plane, here are some links that contain information on it:

I think we have enough US hardware in the game to last us a bit.  Time for some other nations to get some added loving.

Well the results of that vote would seem to say otherwise

It would be nice to have something to spend bomber perks on. The AR-234 is not much fun and kind of useless.

Votes are irrelevant.  If we left it up to voting we'd have nearly 100% American aircraft right now.  Game design is not a democratic process.

     Yeah, you can't let the majority have what they want, it's what Karnak wants that's important!

Actually I think representation is important in a second world war flight sim game, and there are plently of countries needing more of it.  Especially since the US joined the party mid way through .

I'd be all for it.  I think missing the A-26 is just another of AH's gaping holes (I-16...  ).  Anyway, I really don't care what the order is... just keep bringing us new planes (and vehicles) we don't have yet.

Panther He-111 Hs-123 Hs-129 G-55. That just some of the planes we need

Nah, I don't post lists of what I actually want, I post lists of what I think would be good for the game.  I think the Soccer War would get boring pretty fast.

[SoonerMP]

I would love to have the A-26.

Local collector & restorer of WWII birds just bought this one here in Urbana Ohio.

[Denholm]

Sure we can have the A-26. After the HE-111, SM 79, and the Japanese Betty.

[Motherland]

It's never been too long since an A26 request.

[Denholm]

Amen!
