So I was reading up on the A-20 on wiki, apparently it played a significant role on the Eastern Front, in Tunisia, and in the Pacific Theatre.
It makes sense for us to see the A-20 again in Tunisia as it played a notable role in the Battle of Kasserine Pass. Since the British will be representing the Allies in this campaign, perhaps this should be a Premium vehicle?
It would be great to see the A-20 again in the Pacific campaign when it is eventually announced. Since the US would probably be the main allied faction in the Pacific (excluding battle of Singapore) I think it should be a regular non-premium level unlock.
Since the only Eastern Front campaigns we have are Moscow (A-20s were delivered to Soviets 6 months after this battle) and Berlin, I think it would be reasonable to have it as a premium lend-lease vehicle in Berlin campaign. If not Berlin then some future Eastern Front campaign.

A 20 has almost ruined Normandy campaign with its endless wiping of invasion objectives, I have to spend half my time in a fighter just to keep those things outta the sky. Spreading them to other campaigns is a terrible idea.
I’m sure the average allied player feels the same way about German CAS spam that is unlocked at much lower levels. A-20 is at least lvl 18 so fewer players have it. You could set the price tag a bit higher on the premium A-20s to make it more rare.
Fighter play should be more rewarding to better incentivize it, I will concede that.
How about no P2W and the premium vehicles are equal to their ftp counterparts?

A-20 available non-premium in Tunisia and Pacific Campaign since they played historical roles in those? sure I can support that.
Simply: NO to any Premium stuff, especially if it would be historically inaccurate anyways.
I think German players would be a little less annoyed by the A-20 if our equivalent wasn’t for some strange reason unarmed. It’s bizarre, the second you spawn into the cockpit you can see a 20mm cannon sitting there, completely unused and incapable of shooting and if you check the war thunder wiki it gets worse. 
What this means is that as a German player you are FORCED to use the lower level CAS because attempting to use the JU 188 means your flying into battle with no means of self defence against any other aircraft or worse the A-20 which is supposed to be on par with the JU 188. Of course on top of that there’s also the argument about the A-20 having bombs twice the size of the JU 188 but personally I think thats more or less fine since the 250kg bomb is still plenty powerful and you get 6 vs the 4 500kg bombs of the A-20.

some confusion here in the metric kgs vs imperial lbs comparison.
1kg = 2.2lb
a 500lb bomb = 227kg (A-20 gets 4x of these)
a 550lb bomb = 250kg (Ju 188 gets 6x of these)
so if we’re comparing kg to kg total payload, Ju 188 gets 65% more total, and more drops too.
I do hope everyone gets all their gunner positions unlocked soon as my SB-2M is also defenseless, and if it makes you feel better the A-20 cannot use their tail gunner position either.
Hey now you know how American feel when the WFR rockets have the same blast radius of a 500 pound bomb. Except our fighters are hot garbage.
In that case I think the means the kill feed is showing incorrect units then, as the in game name for the A-20’s bombs (at least when they kill you) is a 500kg bomb and without having unlocked the A-20 I never really had a chance to check. Though giving the war thunder wiki a quick browse your absolutely right the JU 188 does carry a significantly large payload. 
I haven’t unlocked the JU88, and now that I think about it, don’t think I’ve even been in a match with one.
Ju 188 is a lvl 18 unlock, same as the A-20.
You really can’t be too critical of A-20 bombing things when Ju 188 got more at the same level. 
Well, just watch the kill log and it is constantly wiping out half my team. I never see the JU in the kill log like I do that A20.
I’m sure when more people unlock the Ju 188 you will see it in the kill feed more frequently, but like you said, you’ve never seen anyone use it in your matches.
If you want to see what Ju 188 can do watch Validuzz on twitch, he flattens entire teams with it.

The reason the Ju 188 isnt in the kill log is because it can’t defend itself. I have the Ju 188 and prefer to run the Bf 110 because I can use it to shoot down other aircraft as well, even if the payload is weaker.
