Even if HTC did introduce the H model with the 75mm cannon I doubt it would be massive use against fighters as the Rate of Fire was only 1 round every 4 seconds.

It only carried about 21 rounds as well!

Sure, the rate of fire is low, but they will turn into HO planes, nonetheless

The gun was designed with a 6 klick range. That's right at the edge of icon range.

How many people hit with the Yak9T as a HO machine?

I cant think of getting hit that way once.

The ROF means that if you're good enough to get a hit with it, you're good enough to use it a more intelligetn way than HO.

y not just perk the H model?

I sure enjoyed the B-25 in Warbirds. Look forward to when they bring it back here.

The H would be fun for some shipping!

Fair enough Simaril...

Bring on the B-25. If you're looking for some good gouge on the plane, check out this website...

They would need to model the fact that the 75mm cannon was manually loaded and could not be loaded while the aircraft was doing any kind of manuevering. The 4 second RoF is only true for when it is flying a straight, and relatively level, course.

The 6pdr Mollins gun on the Mossie XVIII significantly outperformed the 75mm cannon on the H in US tests simply due to the autoloader.

It'd be fun for the Mossie pilot, but not so fun for the tanks or bombers.

Also they only built 28 of them.

All things considered I don't think it should be added.

Never seen a squadron with wolf nose art.

Could it possibly be a 345th Air Apache Wing/ 499th "Bats Outta Hell" squadron plane?

The 499th had this nose art:

1. A great medium bomber, torpedo capable as well.

2. From the C model on there were twin .50's in the tail, either field mod or factory. Until the H, the gunners had to lay on their belly in the position. The H got an armored Bell M-7 turret.
