What game is that SIM? Looks like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, or 2004, or 2006?

I'm very suprise that the B25 has not shown up in AH. It deserves to be here. U.S. first offensive attack on enemy soil.

Besides it be very cool taking off from the CV in it.

Oh one more thing, Yes to B29 also. Have it only available to bases around HQ, like the me163 and charge a lot of perkies.

No nuke

We dont want the B-25 for takin it off a CV. We want it to be a nice low level bomber and a good porker. It can be useful against panzers and lower GVS.

No, you're not.

But, if it makes you feel cool, you can pretend you are. ;)

:D

Actually it had nothing to do with the patrol boats, the decision was made long before they were detected.  However, they did pack the planes with extra cans of fuel in the hope that it would help them make the Chinese coast after the raid

If you're thinking of the B25H it would be totally useless against tanks. The big gun fires an HE round, suitable for unarmed ships and non-moving (and unarmored) targets. It was all but useless to most B25 pilots, and they dumped them on less fortunate squadrons as soon as they could get J models. It would be like firing an HE shell at a tank in AH now, a pretty fireball, and no damage. HE, not AP.

I say "forget the H!" We need C and J.

Yes, it would kill buildings, problem is it doesn't have enough ammo for it to be significant. At 2 shots per building your looking at a total of 10 buildings you can level.

As much as I love the B-25 H I'd rather have an early war varient for EWA, and the J for MWA.
