3 versions, that was more than I expected for a new release considering recent history on releases. C/D version, G conversion, 5th AF strafer conversion.

No tailgun of course,....

BUT what I have not seen in any pics yet is whether or not the C/D version (and possibly G) has the retractable ventral turret or not. The 5th AF version probably shouldn't, from what others posted it was removed as a matter of course in the refit, and some G's had it, some didn't, and most of the C/D's did.

If all it has is the dorsal turret, and no retractable ventral turret..... well, lambs to the slaughter....... or maybe lemmings?........ Come in below the dorsal turret, or behind one of those big rudders on approach and: "squeak!...pop!....squeak!....pop!...."

I also expect LTAR scores to go wayyy up the first 2 tours after release of 2.11.

No... he posted one without gun and one with what appear to be guns and ends it with sticking his tongue out. Which I took as a 'see it does have guns' to which I was pointing out how that particular picture was not a good example... its no fun posting when I have to explain this stuff! Did y'all not get any sleep last night? Go have some more coffee!

Well, actually it's One version of the B-25 (a B-25D from the numbers Widewing posted) with two primary load out options, or modifications: the G-factory modification that was done to some C/D's (before dedicated G's were made), and the strafer mod for 5th AF done to some B-25C/D's. The same airframe and FM for them across the board, possibly?

Now, how it will appear in the Hangar: 1 plane with various load-out options, or more than 1 plane shown in the hangar, is going to be interesting. Also whether or not any of them get drones or not (sort of a A-20/Boston kind of thing).

Given the differences in the nose (B-25G having a snub-nose) my guess would be B-25C/D with the strafer as an alternate package, and B-25G as a separate aircraft.
