A-20G cockpit armor... Where is it?

[Widewing]

The Aces High A-20G has always been exceptionally susceptible to pilot wounds and deaths from single ping hits on the nose.

The issue is that there is apparently no armor in front of the pilot.

The A-20G was actually very well armored. This includes armor plate and an armored glass panel behind the windshield.

Perhaps, some day, after at least 7 years since added, HTC can rectify this, and add the missing ventral gun as well.

Whilst they're at it. Fix the cockpit armour on every plane I fly. Especially the Tiff. 
I was pw'd yesterday from slightly low dead 6 F4U1d at 400 yds. Straight through the tail, along the fuselage, missing radio's batteries, spars and controls etc. Through the seat armour and wounded the pilot

Hmm another gun, and more armour, awesome!

That's the kind of bullet that got Kennedy!

They can have all the armour they want, as long as they can't utterly outfly a Fw190a8 in all but roll and dive acceleration,with or without internal bombload. they can have the 4*20mm as well.
That crew that can hit with 3,5-4g in turns makes captain America yellow.

Earlier, I wrote about an incident when I met an A20 over friendly territory, he first out turned me easy ( ok, maybe) then, still in hard turn shot off one of my rons, I dive and he he smoked my engine from straight 6 at 1k out, then he did a lazy turn and dropped his bombs on town.   

wish I could use film but occasional stuttering happens when I turn film on.


Something is very wrong with that bird (or the A8).

[Zacherof]

My guess us the A8 

you couldve easily
dealt with him
What's the maTter with you?

[TOMCAT21]

I know most of the US aircraft had their cockpits armored.

Co-E  they are better than the A8 in turn energy burning  :headscratch, better zoomclimb, and guns are lazers, with better E, situation would have been another one, but an A20 with rear gunner can be a PITA too

I hate getting caught by an a20, buy it's kinda funny when they try to out scissor you
I'm just messing with you save

[Babalonian]

Scissors only works if the pilot of the poorer rolling aircraft takes the bait. Scissoring eats E very quickly. All the pursuer has to do is go vertical, roll inverted (high yo-yo) and the 190 is toast. Low, slow and flopping about like a landed flounder.

Im just sayting in general for A-20's against 190's

I'm a bit skeptical of the AH A20 myself
