We need planes for Scenarios.

A-20 not good enough for ya?

We need to fill out the Mongolian plane set 1st.

It'll be a hanger queen.

Two EW fighters are in the next release. It's time for another perked bomber so yes, bring on the A-26.

1Boner, almost, but look at it as something to spend our bomber perks on other than the Ar-234. :D

  hanger queen....i don't think so

  perk it... yes by all means

 A-20 not good enough... yes for MW, but it would be nice to be able to keep up with some of the runtards of LW " you know,the ones who run screaming like  little kids when you reverse on them" :lol

 we need planes for scenarios..... yes and i am sure ther are some A26 scenarios

 we need to fill out EW first... 2 EW rides are soon to be here

 we need to fill out MW first... MW is pretty good but could use some more rides.

 A26 ? .... its a A-20 on steroids

I have been flying the A20 more and more as a fighter type AC..if anyone has noticed.  Not to Cobia's rep in it yet but working on it.  So I say give me give me give me to the A26 but I still don't understand why it would be perked.  No attack bases AC should be perked unless it's total uber and the A26 is not uber.  The basic A26 performance is not over and above the LW standard.  It is a LW plane and should not be perked maybe an eny of less than 10 but no perk....get it no perk.
