I think if the A-20 was remodeled it would loose a lot of its bite, remember it is a Ah1 flight model and damage model.
It would also gain the ability to use the .30 in the belly (that is not modeled correctly right now) so it would have a bit more defense.
The A-20 USE to have a huge bug where any hit would be instantly redirected to the cockpit area leading to a dang near instant -poof-. When it was fixed the AC became a monster, before people would take the time to pounce you using .30cals because they knew any hits would lead to the flying gas tank going kaboom, now is no longer the case. The wings have become much more brittle In the past years, as before you could carry 50% fuel full ords and still pull back heavy on the stick pulling out of a high alt dive over targets. Now unless you hit backspace and release those wing bombs first before pulling out of a high speed dive, your looking to make yourself a lawn dart.
What bothers me the most about this AC is the stick forces, for some reason the ac "bounces/jerks" around alot, even with minor stick imput, that left people the ability to "jerk" the planes nose around without stalling or loosing much energy (trust me, its one of the reasons i love it so much) You also have the ability to hit page up to a high gun angle that left little in the way of guess work. Compound that with six .50's packed close together in the nose, left a AC that could rapid redirect its cone of fire without sacrificing much in the way of speed and energy, could LAZER targets out of the sky and has a ton of ammo to do it with.
I would LOVE to see the A-20 remodeled, the .30 added the x4 20mm option added (with perk points) and the option to take the rear turret off. (possible?) It always bugged me to have the weight of a person equipment and a fully loaded .30cal that could never be used or seen. Even if the gun could be removed,that's another 300+ lbs in crew/equipment and ammo in itself.
This bird just needs a face lift, it would change like night and day.
