The NF.30 and FB.VI Mosquitoes would be very different.  Down at AH combat altitudes the FB.VI would be faster due to low blown engines, ~320mph on the deck for the NF.30 and ~350mph on the deck for the FB.VI once the dampers are removed.  And no, the NF.30 didn't use dampers, so no speed boost that way.

The A-26 was an attack aircraft.  In AH it would be used as an attack aircraft and heavy fighter.  The Mosquito FB.Mk VI was an attack aircraft and heavy fighter, and that is how it gets used in AH.  If people are using it in the attack role it will often be very low, particularly after the new one is added and it is faster on the deck than any other twin piston aircraft down there.  Mossies on fighter sorties tend to come in with altitude.  They have the fuel to burn to setup however they like and they often use it.

If I were to compare the A-26 to any Mosquito it would be to the Mk VI and in that case I'd say the A-26 has a lot more potential for hitting ground targets while being much less of a threat air-to-air.

I would be an outstanding addition, especially for pilots that prefer attack runs in Medium Bombers and want the chance to survive to go home. LOL

A-26 > (B-26 + Ki-67)
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

Eight 100kg bombs do more damage to a city than two 1,000lb bombs though, and that is even without formations.

8 100lbs of bombs do more damage than 3 1k lbs right, but then again u limit urself to the city what about the base itself.  161 is no match to an a26, no way no how.

I like planes to be added because they provide something different to game play or because they are planes that played an important role in the war but we don't yet have.  If we're talking medium bombers, sure the A26 is nice for variety's sake I'd rather see the SM.79 added (other threads already mentioned it including the latest one): http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,270318.0.html
