Any modder ever think of these 2 variants. never seen pics but the wiki mentions the invader armed with 37mm and a 75mm howitzer. only know of the B-25's armed with a howitzer. See ehre: The A-26 was originally built in two different configurations. The A-26B had a "solid" nose, which originally could be equipped with a combination of anything from .50 caliber machine guns, 37mm auto cannon, 20mm or even a 75mm pack howitzer, but normally the solid nose version housed six (or later eight) .50 caliber machine guns, officially termed the "all-purpose nose", later commonly known as the "six-gun nose" or "eight-gun nose". The A-26C's "glass" nose, officially termed the "Bombardier nose", contained a Norden bombsight for medium altitude precision bombing. The A-26C nose section included two fixed M-2 guns, later replaced by underwing gun packs or internal guns in the wings.[8]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_A-26_InPS: been playing cfs 3 korea's invaders and dont see aloadout there. wonder what the 75mm is like or the effect
 
Interesting, shoupe. i hope someone can mod the invader to carry these weps. the 75mm would be fun but ot sure what kind of a kickback the blast would make. have played with it on a B-25H;G. either way, would be fun:jump:
 
We already have an A-26B with two 37mm cannons, check the avhistory section in the uploads here. Not sure if the 75mm equipped A-26 was ever used operationally.
