Lyric, great work again...  :aok as for the bullet proof glass...not sure and i often incur alot of pilot wounds. I know the Boston doesn't have the wep like the A-20 does, I am not a big fan of the .303's. sorry, i digressed... <S>

Neither am I. All the sweeter when you shoot some one down. :D

I'm suprised I didn't +1 this the first time it came around.

+2, because I missed it the first time.

It's a shame that Russian site is not working now the stuff the Russians were using like air to air rockets & some were rear facing & a laundry list of weird stuff that they listed. Going to have to try find it again.

I have so much stuff on the A-20/DB-7 on the internet and acquired a few books that have more info. I think I am pretty close to lyric in locating this stuff. Either way, the option for the 20MM gun package(4 x 20mm and 2 M2 50 cal) should be added. It did see combat so I don't see why not.

Took a screen shot of a video I just got from home in Australia. It is about Beaufighters & had some video of an A-20 filming from it's ventral gun position.

Just add the A-26 and perk it like the Mossie. Then the A-20 doesn't need an over haul, everyone get all the guns they want, and we have a new plane!

win win win and.. win  :aok :aok
