A20 can absorb too much DMG. Last game I have emptied my BF109 3x times and the A20 was still flying like it was nothing. I dont know if just BF109 guns are that bad or what is happening but I have never managed to shot down that thing down from the skies. I think that A20 is too powerfull at current state and should be nerfed. Bombs kill like 100 meters away, it can fly with another plane at same time and it can take a lot of beating.

Aim at engines or the cockpit and its a few salvos, spray and pray does not work here. Other options are to pepper the wings and tail to disable control surfaces and see him go down slow and steady, giving your team more time without enemy CAS if he does not suicide out.

Big kill radius on allied plane? yes it must be removed soon as possible cause only german pilots are allowed to drop nukes that kill anyone in 100metres radius

OP, sounds a lot like an aiming problem.
I have 0 issues nuking A-20s with my 109 in a few quick well placed bursts.

I m yet to see a problem flying or killing enemy planes. I belive this is just a bad aim issue. Firing on components that aren’t needed for the plane to… Fly lol ownt get you a kill

Had the same experience, but it’s really just because it’s big. Need to aim better when shooting them, engines, cockpit or tail. And because it’s big, you need to get close to it as when it looks “ok” in relation to others, it’s actually like 100 meters more away 
the ju 188 has a smaller area of dmg with the bombs than the a 20 and dont forget the a 20 has front weapons so he isnt realy wrong just bad discribing (sorry my english isnt good)
you know the ju-188 has a larger payload that equates to 1650 pounds of tnt while the a-20’s is 1059 pounds of tnt when looking at actual explosive mass and not the weight of the bombs, though i believe the post you are replying to is being sarcastic when considering the state of american CAS
