B-25
« on: October 05, 2006, 06:10:44 PM »
Yes I know that this has and will be asked hundred times more. But hey, you can't get anything if you dont ask. The B-25, used in Doolittle's raid. They broke through Japanese defenses and bombed Tokyo. They didn't do much damamge, but they proved themselves in battle. The B-25s would be a great addition to the Early War Arena. The EWA would get a lot more traffic.

I say Yes to the B-25, and no you are the first to ask for the B-25 for the EWA. The B-25 could also be in the MWA, and maybe even the LWA. It was used threw the whole war.

For the most part it would be MWA, or depending on the version LWA. I doubt it'd make it into EWA, but that's a guess.

I've been asking for the Mitchell for a long long time. Despite not seeing it in Aces High yet, I remain hopeful!!

That 75mm cannon on it could be used against M-3's and M-16's. Would be bad for barracks, or a little strafey strafey against a VH!

bring the b25 H to aces high! no excuses, no waiting, this plane is overdue by at-least 3 years...and the 75mm is needed as a panzer killer, prob why its not here yet, I will support every thread linked to the 25 all the way, just remember HT doesnt want to hear about launching em off of cv's so dont bother with that aspect...:aok

it would be worth having a nuke just for the hilarity of dropping one on tank town.

the pointy click gvtards already froth at the mouth when people dare go over their town in a plane, imagine what they would do if you gave them a nice multi megaton gift.
