I know the lamers who think that an unknown axis bomber is so needed will scream bloody murder but from what I have seen in the main arena... we love flying american bombers because they have lots of defensive guns and carry lots of bombs.

getting 30 player missions in low level ploesti style liberator raids is a total blast and the b24 has the power to get in to the target and do damage with its heavy defenses and payload.

and thats what was missing from the bomber gameplay.

somthing new that can kick bellybutton that people are familiar with and want to fly.

build new bombers and people will fly them. the new bombsite is noob friendly and higher alt bombing is fun again.

so now as HTC is contemplating their next move and since the MA is the bread and butter and not the CT...

I cast my vote for the B-25 Mitchell because of its historic and nostalgic value and its wide selection of variants.

the a26 invader is more powerful but the B-25 is so symbolic of american air power in world war 2.

HTC hooked me back into flying bombers with the B-24 and the more enjoyable bomb siting system. I hope they run with it and offer more powerful American bombers. because lets face it. there are no axis bomber squads. why kid ourselves and pretend that there are? every bomber squad in AH is an american Iron bomber squad because americans love american bombers.

hehe I am feeling patriotic after voting yesterday :D

and the fact that the snub nosed 75mm cannon armed b25H requires almost no modification other than on the nose... hehe so much fun.

If the Pac planeset is going to develop then the B25 is a must.

However, there are glaring wholes in the planeset that need to be filled to give ToD the greates possible chance for success.

For Pac the Japanese need Betty.
They need a A6M3 and a KI-43.

The US needs an earlier variant p38. They need a p39d.

A B25 would fit right in and it would not be a bad choice but if I were to to prioriitize I would place it 5th or 6th.

With the

A6m2
A6m5
Niki

and by adding the

A6m3

The IJN would have a decent planeset.

With the
 
Ki-61

and now with the

Ki-84

The IJAAF still has a way to go.

Adding a

Ki-43

and a

Betty

Would go along way.

But you can't forget that most of the US and USN planeset is late war.

Adding an early Variant

P38

and a

P39D

Would go along way.

After all that the B25 could be squeezed in.

:p

if it was up to me i would have add the B25 instead of the B24 or B26.. but since we have those 2 i see no need for the B25 in the near future.. (For the MA that is)

So..
NO B25 for you.... Come back one year!


now what about a betty or a He111? :p

Mosquito BIV.
After all it could carry the bombload of a B17, but faster :)
Arguably the best, most flexible bomber of WW2.

Failing that the next one should be a He111.
Glaring omission.
