Warspawn:
Nothing more annoying than a 15 min flight (or more) into a base heavy, only to see your targets sitting on concrete with .EF ready in their text window.
Yes there is.
Try defending a base for hours, battling countless enemy that have the guts to come back and fight one on one. Then to have one of the loosers fly for 15 minutes to drop 36,000 pounds of bombs on you from 200 feet off the ground. Creating a kill zone 500 feet wide by about 1 mile long. A tactical skill which most 8-year-olds excel in. OR driving a jabo and dropping two 1000 pound bombs from 1000 to 5000 feet from directly overhead onto the top of a vehicle which even with a FAR miss will kill most vehicles. But it's OK that defensively the ground units have virtually NO defense against it.
And yet more and more people want to have a "No Threat" way to kill ground vehicles. A way to kill a tank with little or no chance of the tank or ground units being able to shoot back. People will get into a fight at a V-Base and they can't kill a piece of armor when they are in a stationary Tiger firing an 88mm AP projectile. And because the enemies they are shooting at are better shots in armor, they want a "SAFE" alternative. SO, now they want to get into a bomber that can fire cannon rounds. Knowing full well that it will take 5 or more direct hits of 37mm HE rounds coming from an Ostwind to kill their bomber. But of course by that time they are long gone cause they came in a tree top level. But the Ostwind threat is only there if some squirt with a pistol in his plane hasn't shot out the turret yet.
Considering the trajectory drop a 75mm HE round would have, I would think that the accuracy of this weapon would make it ideal for the broad side of a barn or maybe the broad side of a ship. It would be VERY impractical against moving armor. An M-3 killing tool I might be good at though.
As a Bomber though, I would enjoy flying it. I enjoy the B-26s also. But I think they would all be good targets for my German 88.
