My appologies people I guess I didn't catch that when i went through the thread.

instead of the B-26, go with the A-26 COIN version...just think eight .50s in the nose, six .50s in the wing, four .50s in cheek mounts and two turrets with twin .50s and still able to carry 4,000lbs of bombs....eighteen .50s in a strafing run....hmmmm

dragoon500ly,
That's a lot of ammo to be using up for strafing runs, the MP is going to need it's own dedicated ammo factory just for the air force as it is.
If your going to tear up acreage like that you might as well just give MP an AC-47 or AC-119

I was actually thinking about a late model B-26C variant, as this was the glassed nose variant rather than either the B-26B or K variants. The reason was that I suggested this aircraft is that it is more versatile than the B version capable of being used for Photo Recon and limited cargo-carrying as well as stike mission.

A late model C version was armed with 2 x 0.5HMG in the nose as well as another three in each wing. Take out the lower turret and use the space to carry extra fuel and a navigation/bombing radar, as well control gear for AGM-12B 250lb Bullpup Missiles.

The reason I suggested the C141 was that it was primary used pre-war to move heavy project equipment around the US and the world. The aircraft could carry a maximum of 42 Tons. For those of you who can remember the TV series UFO, think of the SHADO heavy lift aircraft carrying the SHADO ATV's around the world.

However, I still recomend the OV-10 s the main Project aircraft, it was as though it was designed especially for the Project. Please see the following link for further details:

Well anything worth doing is worth overdoing!

Seriously, a neighbor was a A-26 pilot during the Korean War and from what he tells me, you could select nose guns, cheek guns or wing guns or go for the whole lot...
