Cool plane, but do we need a slower Mosi?

I'd rather have the B-25H ... 8 forward firing .50's, 3000 lbs of bombs, and a 75mm cannon.

The 75mm cannon on the B-25H was loaded manually.  The loader could not load it under any sort of manuevering.  In tests the USAAF found the 57mm Mollins gun on the Mosquito Mk XVIII to be superior due to the autofeed.

Yeah. But the B25H would be great for going after fleets and bases. The A20G is nice, but it doesn't have cannon for dealing with GV's or ships.
