If you can get the A-20s to Burma or China, they're more useful there (range constraints otherwise). Be advised that the A-20s attack with 250# bombs (like Martins and Hudsons), so they're less useful on NavAtk. But you use what you've got. B-26 and B-25 are much better on NavAtk, because they use 500# bombs. I really like the Martins and Hudsons, simply for their range. Payload is light, but range is great. BlenIV is the same thing as a Hudson (in game, not litterally), except that it carries 2x 500# bombs, instead of the 4x 250# bombs of the Hudsons. If you're short on B-26 and B-25 (and you will be), the A-20s can be used in SoPac as "deterrents". You're not really going to be able to run out and bomb another base with the A-20s (range sucks). But if you pair them with even P-39s, the P-39s will escort and your A-20s will launch (vs. shipping). But again, the A-20s use 250# bombs, so they're not going to be much use vs. any but destroyers and transports. And if you -do- have destroyers and transports within range of A-20s, you've probably got serious problems anyways. But, you use what you've got. Also be advised that the A-20s can't make the jump from Noumea to Brisbane, even if you hold Norfolk Island (I think). -F-
