Me and my family have a house in the mountains of North Carolina and we would always have to leave the area when the "Floridiots" would come!

| I can see why they invade NC tho, Ive got family out there, and when I visited the Outer Banks I knew Id found the place I wanted to live when I get out the hole I presently call home!
Back on topic (sorry! ), I can see where people are coming from with not choosing a heavy bomber, but think of it this way:
A third world country doesnt have a lot of infrastructure. A week-long offensive with a wing of heavies would destroy what was there...then you walk in and begin the victory celebrations

Country: | Yeah but you have to afford the bombs and fuel to fly the heavies.

| If you had only to launch a minimal ground offensive against an enemy with no C3I structure or logistical support, it could well be worth it. After all, you'd spend the dosh on a landward slog to the objective otherwise...

Country: | The A-26 could be used as a light bomber or a attack aircraft. She could carry a good payload of 6000lb of bombs and she packed a punch of cannons and machine guns. I believe she could even be fitted with rockets under the wings.
