i think that the B25 should not be added to the game.  I have heard the it was used a lot.....ect ect  They will be hanger queens.  Even if you could up a formation....i think many ppl would up the B26s that we already have.


Some say it would be good against GVs...Ww have the A20 and it is a very able GV killer.


Some ppl say that if it can up from a CV they will pick it.  
1.  if this is the reason you are chosing it i think you are making a mistake.  It will turn into a SBD/TBM/D3A/B5N ....if it went to an enemy base it would be slaughtered...its like attacking in a single B26.  
2.  I would hope HT would make it hard to up from a CV...It was not easy for the pilots that flew in the doolittle mission to get them off the deck.  
3. this bomber doesn't carry that much ord.

Pyro already said in the sticky that NO B25's will up from a CV even if it wins

So we just need to get that word out when it comes time to vote!!

well the A26 sounds like a monster and a half, and it has the sexy appearance of the A20 with many more guns!  Basically I'm just all about the guns so I picked it.

Considering it was only done once as a special mission, I would hope it wouldn't even be considered to give the B-25 that option.

Very true...but thats the one consistent thought when folks clamor for the B25....


DOOLITTLE!!!!!!


At least if they know it won't happen...we might get something fun

[FrodeMk3]

Everyone's hoping for the 25H with the 75mm in the nose...But that won't happen, same as 25C's taking off from a CV.

I vote I-16. I would use it in the LW MAs! Need something other than the Val for Kandy Mountan Mishuns!

Surely there were more of these than several other planes we have. And, Pyro mentioned it, so I'm at least remaining hopeful.

Well, P-40's and P-47's took off from CV's in the War as well, and we don't see them available on CV's, so I don't think we have to worry about B-25's.

Considering the work that has gone on for CT, I honestly don't think HTC is concerned about the status or repercussions of this new plane in regard to the MA.

There are a lot of early war gaps that will need to be filled to give the CT a viable immersive feel.

If that turns out to be true, there will be some serious problems with the 39 modeling.

I don't know, Oldman...It might be perked based on it's armament, The FM we'll have to wait and see.

OHHHH really.

My synopsis IMHO.


B-25 – Cool plane, one of my favorites as a kid and another sentimental favorite for various reasons.  Good for several variants and who wouldn’t want to fly a plane that has a 75mm cannon and 14 .50s?

The presence of the La5FN and the promice of an La7 was the reason I came to this game.........................

OK I am biased........but IMO the Yak3 is THE MA fighter ride of the pack thats on offer.

But to many it will be "just another Yak"  I suppose we could argue that the Spit 8/Spit XVI are just other Spit's.

The ideal choice is one that....

1)Fills a unique hole in the MA set (its FM/ordinance combination)
2)Fills a unique hole in the Event set (its historic role WWII)
3)Would be a "popular" ride.

The P39N/Q meets 1 & 2 but may fall short on 3.
The Yak3 (IMO) meets 2 & 3 yet will be the Yak of choice in the MA if for no other reason than its superb vision out of the cockpit.

I dunno about the G55 never heard of it before this debate................

[FrodeMk3]

I know, Bronk, I did'nt see that post by pyro...But, IF they were to give us a 25H, with the 75, then we could have some hope of seeing the Tse-tse fly, or 410 with the 50mm gun. I mean, the cat would be outta the bag, so to speak.

How the 25H would impact the arena's is only a guess, It would depend on ammo options for the 75.(AP wielding Mitchell's in TT, for example, or knocking out CV group ships with HE.)
