What model will it be, HTC?

[FrodeMk3]

Ok, now that the voting is over(Thank God), What model of the B-25 did you guys have in mind? Just curious, I'll fly whichever...

[Rino]

Sure hope we don't have to vote on that!

[NoQtr]

No!, let the voting begin.

[Mr No Name]

Next will be the "If I had known this was what we were getting, I would have voted for the _______" threads!  LOL

Make it the ones they used on the Doolittle Raid...No Guns.

[Pyro]

I'd like to see the C, H, and J in that order.  Whether all of those can make the next version will depend on how fast it goes to make the shapes.

Could it have one version and have the additional loadouts as perk options (in the discussed perk ord/guns changes) ?

[Pyro]

Nope, that only works when the armament is really the only difference between variants.

Ahh i see...

So C-hog... Spitfires using the universal wing with quad 20mm etc..

Changing the Hurri IID to the IV would be great

The Mitchell was also an amazingly sturdy aircraft that could withstand tremendous punishment. One well-known B-25C of the 321st Bomb Group was nicknamed "Patches" because its crew chief painted all the aircraft's flak hole patches with high-visibility zinc chromate paint. By the end of the war, this aircraft had completed over 300 missions, was belly-landed half a dozen times and sported over 400 patched holes. The airframe was so bent that straight-and-level flight required 8° of left aileron trim and 6° of right rudder, causing the aircraft to "crab" sideways across the sky.

I used to fall down a lot and now have to do that just to walk straight.

Good choice. That would cover just about evrey theatre  I believe. I might even have to break into my skin building tools again.

cheers

That's a lot of glass to model, but it sure is pretty.

Here's a pretty cool B-25 site:

Cool favicon.ico too:

Are the C and J similar enough to build one airframe and then adjust for the different weight, armament & performance and release in one patch?  Or is the solid nose H not that hard to model anyway?

Actually, I’m assuming something here; the C and J will have glass noses and the H will be solid, right?

I would really need to see some MAJOR documentation to back that up.  Right now I file it in the same category as the N1K2-J squad that shot down 12 Hellcats for no loss, e.g. fiction.


FYI, so far as I know the most combat sorties completed by any airframe in WWII was 217 by a Mosquito B.Mk IV.
