Looking good as always, Jason. 

[Lusekofte]

This will complete my  earliest wishlist for eastern front. Many thanks

[silvergun]

Nice work and thanks for the "little big" gift 

[Blooddawn1942]

Omg! A late and unexpected one, but highly welcome! Many thanks for feeding us once again!

[Freycinet]

"Very simple"? - Well, the model certainly isn't!

 

Thanks for these pics of Heinemanns wonder bomber.

[[CPT]Pike*HarryM]

A-20, sexy beast!

[simplyjames]

Can't wait to take it for a spin.

 

Whats all that room behind the cockpit for?

[CanadaOne]

Sweet!

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

It looks cosy and extremely well detailed, looking forward to it! Thanks for the update

[Chief_Mouser]

Nice. Looking forward to flying her.

Cheers.

Nice job as usual!

I know you guys are very very very busy to finish BOK on time, so thanks for this headsup!

Nice video! I got very excited for the A20

[ShamrockOneFive]

I'm so excited to fly the A-20! Definitely one of my all time favourite aircraft!

hey this is an awesome video.  I wonder if we could actually apply these wartime training clips to our practice in Sim.  There are quite a few and very informative.

The landing sequence from rear of aircraft gives me happy thoughts for the future!

Looks great!

 

A reflector sight with that size and location can make any Soviet fighter pilot envious.

[Nil]

The only plane with the P39 to not spin on taxing, I will miss this!

Thank for update.

[LLv24_Zami]

Looks like A-20 is forming up nicely, nice shots!

[Trooper117]

[keeno]

That looks super impressive!

 

Cheers

[fergal69]

Very nice.

I too would love these kinds of vid in game.

 

Some kind of machinima perhaps?

 

The cockpit looks great!

[Venturi]

Appreciate all the FM work.

 

Hope that gets through to the team. It was a big leap forwards.

The Russians used to do barrel rolls over the runway.

So much for forbidden acrobatics.

[FlyingNutcase]

That's good enough for an early release.

barrel rolls can be 1g manoeuvres. Stretches the definition of non aerobatic though. Didn't a test pilot do one in a 707?

Yes he did. I also saw him in an interview later demonstrate why it was safe by putting a cup of coffee on the dash of the light prop twin he was flying (eg a Cessna 330-340 or similar) then performing a barrel roll without any coffee spilling.  

[=gRiJ=Roman-]

I can't hardly wait to shot them down! 

[senseispcc]

I did build two or three models of the A20 or the Boston in my 1/72 or 1/48 modelling period but I have never seen this level of detail in any of them.

Great job from the development team, thanks!

The immortal Bob Hoover. Best stick and rudder pilot that ever lived. He also escaped German captivity by steeling a FW 190 and flying it to safety.

[LLv34_Temuri]

Is that funnel + tube thing on the right side of the cockpit used for what I think it's used for?
