arlo what makes the pe8 a better alternative?  the low number built?  the low ords carried? the slower speed? the few sorties it flew?

the pe is just a footnote, if that.  the a26 had a bigger contribution to the war effort than most of the so called bombers that you want added to the list of hangar queens.

The A-26 is just a foot note as well and its contribution to the war effort wasn't as big as you think it is.

And the LWMA's gonna quit in droves because it didn't get the 'vader? Yes, LWMA
profit pays for event development. Much the same main arena paid for events in AW.  :D

they won't quit either because the bombers you suggested aren't added.  the a26 had more of an effect on the war than the bombers youssuggested. I'm actually surprised it hasn't been added yet.

it has met every requirements that players have come up with for inclusion many times over. and  in all seriousness people are asking for Italian planes that were very successful against biplanes and think they deserve to be added more than the a26:

perhaps think that lwma pays for aces high.

and it has been, but if the lack of something like the a-26 or p-61 was that big of a deal, why is ah still around after all these years without them? using your values most of the planes people enjoy now would not exist in ah.

Well, we've deduced that the MA is content, then.  :D

Give me a list of historical  battles that can't be set up in events because
we don't have the A-26.  :cool:

It tells me that the other bombers should get equal consideration as the A-26 does.

It tells me that you are likely underestimating their contribution to the war effort if you think the A-26 contributed as much as they did.

less than a hundred were built and a good percentage were lost due to reliability problems.  by the end of the war they were being replaced by lend-lease b25's.  if I read correctly only about 20 were available at any one time.

the a26 served in 3 wars.

You said "bombers" indicating many of the bombers Arlo was speaking of.  You did not say "Pe-8".
