And its damn waist gunner makes it impossible to start the attack from below. So you have start the attack from above, or it turns away from you so the gunner can get you. That wastes precious time that you don't have when the bomber spawns only a few miles from the target.
And better even to have an a-20 than to crash into the damn bunker, which the last a-20 I killed did. There's always one kamikaze, every time.

Oh, you didn't get the memo? Apparently, some Imperial Japanese pilots were detailed out to the Third Reich. I've been seeing a bunch pop up. Kamikaze division, even. I see a lot in Dogfight, Team Dogfight, Capture the Airfield, and Strike. They like to run head on in to big slow bombers, or deck stationary targets on airfields! Funny thing is, they're disguising themselves by using planes that flew in the European theater. Now I'm not sure how accurate this information is, but it's been passed around that these Japanese fighters are child prodigies. Like, 12 to 15 years old. Explains their pre-pubescent voices that they might chastise you with, or their terrible grammar when they tell you that you can't fly. So yeah, watch out for them. The only way you can tell them apart is to look for the plane coming at you that's not shooting. They must line up their collision perfectly, recoil from a single round could set them off course! It's why I fly the IL-10 in just about everything. I love the plane, and the tail gunner can help deal with some of the Kamikaze Kiddies. Ha...Kami...they're a bunch of Kami's. Sorry. It's 5:30 in the morning. I am tired. I'm off to bed. Goodnight, guys. You're all amazing.
