I dont know of any B-25's that carried 'lotsa cannons', but I know of two that carried one BIG one! The B-25G and H. The G is derived from the C/D, and the H became the basis for the J. So, if they model one of the gunbunnies, they can add the bomber version fairly easily (or vice versa).

The B25 would be a good add. Much better than the B26 IMHO.

Even if it is, it's still a good subject.

The b-25 is a historically signifigant plane that definetly deserves a spot in the AH lineup . But seeing as how we got the b-24 , i think the luffwobbles will have throw a fit  if  we get another US bomber before an axis one is produced .     38

So lose the 24 :p :rolleyes: :lol

Seriously, Id love to see the hard-nose 25s in the game, I was surprised when I started that they weren't.

We've got an incomplete A-20C havoc
Which is basically a B-25 with no bombsite and a lighter bomb load.
The B-25 is not that great an airplane.

would have rather had the 25 than the 26 in game, i know the 26 has been in forever, anyone know the reason behind the choice?

now that we have the 26 and a20 it seems a bit of a waste doing the 25 as there are more important types to add... seems the 25 wouldnt bring anything new.

Didn't some of HTC's staff work on WB? I think they just wanted the b26 to do something different.

cc, WB2 had the B-25C(I think it was C), G, and J. I can understand them wanting to do something different so it wouldn't look like they copied it, but AH is most definitely its "own game" now and the B-5G/H is an overdue addition. The one we had in WB was extremely effective, we had times in the old HA when one or two of them escorted by a flight of 38Fs would wipe out a base in one or two passes. It even carried skip bombs, which were a godsend once you got the hang of them.

I don't know how you can compare the A-20 we have to something that holds either a total of 8x .50s and a 75mm cannon or 12x .50s. (plus the top turret, which could be locked forward on both models for an added pair of M2s)

Might not see all that much MA use once the novelty wears off, but it is (IMO) essential for a South Pacific scenario or CT setup.

IMO the G/H is the last version we need. We need a glass-nosed C and a solid nosed J, and MAYBE (I'd use it, tellyawhut) a glass-nosed J.

The 57mm cannon has no real purpose. Would serve nothing. And it was shunned by folks in the pacific. So I say leave THAT one out.

IRL, it may have been a bit superfluous, (I prefer the all-.50 nose myself), but it would be great for GV busting, De-Acking, field porking, etc. in AH. Plus that version could carry rockets. Would be a devastating ground-pounder- more like a modern A-10 than a classic medium bomber.

Sorry to keep beating an apparently dead horse, but I am a big B-25 fan, and its probably 2 or 3 on my list of "most wanted additions".
