Scores page, Kill Stats in an expanded format (IE only), do model vs model Choose B15H on one side, and all models on the other.

At 10:41 EST today (8-27) it's "B-25H has 5127 Kills of All models
All models have 8327 Kills of B-25H "

After only a few days, the B-25H is already ranked #7 on the Panzer's "Causes of Death" list. If you look only at planes that killed Panzer IV's, it's even #3, just behind Il-2 & A-20G

Personally, I had a blast the night the B-25's were released..

I sat at the base of a hill picking off osties in my M4 from over 3500 yards away. They were so busy with the B-25s, it took a while for someone to figure out what was going on.

I know I got over 15 confirmed kills, and countless assists.. It was like xmas

Opposite here. The B-25 have ruined my Hurricane IID game - now everybody rolls Ostwinds instead of Tigers, Shermans & Panzers

I noticed that as well. Some 25's were going down to a single Osti hit. Others took two or three and rolled on by. I'll need to review the films to see where the weak points are.

Within hours of release, I had to try for a B25 kill.... Noticed a red dot headed for a rear airfield, so jumped in a Tiff and took off. Within moments, a formation of B25s came into view. I had to spend about 10 mins climbing up and chasing it, but eventually got close in. Lucky for me, the rear gunnery was bad, as I almost inviting death being so close behind the bombers. Didn't take very long for all 3 B25s to come apart. I'll never forget my first B25 kills
