Soviet A20C Havoc *DONE*

Whichever you prefer is okay with me. I just think it is overloaded and overcost as it currently stands. The problem with Combined Attack is it is a lot harder to trigger than Expert Strafer. You have to 1) have a Dive Bomber, and 2) have it attacking in the same sector.

I playtested this unit and the combined attack was all but useless. Whenever I didn't use it as a strafer my opponent targeted it to avoid the combined attack from triggering since it was an easier target than the dive bomber. It seemed like a waste of 9 points, though as a strafer with other bigger threats it was able to get a couple of shots in at destroyers.

Additionally the unit carried a single 2000-lb naval torpedo... this shouldn't equal a 2TT stat in my mind.

I have to agree with Weeds that we should remove the combined attack and reduce the cost to 8, 7 if we also reduce the Torp to 1.

In essence the proposal would become:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A20C Havoc
Aircraft – Patrol Bomber
Cost: 7
1941
MG: 4
TT: 1
A/VA/HP: 4/8/1

ALTERNATE PAYLOAD 7: Once per game, this unit can make a 7-dice Bomb attack instead of a Torpedo attack during the Air Attack phase

EXPERT STRAFER: This unit can make Gunnery attacks without taking penalties to its armor or vital armor.

Soviet Loadout
6 X 12,7-mm ShKAS machine guns or 4 X 20-mm ShVAK cannon in nose, 2 X 12,7mm in tower. Both configurations were used for ground attack and as a heavy fighter (though usually at night)

Used a lot in night operations, something the soviets lack.

Wow...EE is a nice add on. Definitely gives the PB more use. You'd likely see it Turn1, 2 and 4 which is a nice cycle. I'm good with all 4 or EE instead of NS.

I'm good with all 4. The night SA isn't going to see much action so it really doesn't factor in too much
