Almost 3,000 A-20s were delivered to the Soviet Union during WWII. Soviet pilots were generally pleased with its speed and reliability, ability to out-fly German Bf-109’s, and ability to stay aloft on one engine. The aircraft was used for reconnaissance, ground attack, high-speed transport, night fighting, and bombing. The German AA ship Niobe was attacked by a mixed strike group of Soviet aircraft on 16 July 1944. The ship was struck first with bombs from Il-2s followed by diving Pe-2s that pulled the defensive AA away from a wave of low flying naval A-20s that finished off the ship with torpedoes.

Anyone?

They shouldn’t have access to equipment in-game that they didn’t have in real life. The year limits are highly quantized anyway, treating January 1940 the same as December 1940.

I favor 1942. That’s when the plane was delivered. It wouldn’t be different if a plane rolled off the assembly line in Detroit in 1941 and didn’t make it to Guadalcanal until 1942. The country in question literally could not use it until 1942.

Looks like this is ready to ...

Lock and Load!

Thanks everyone.
