I'm at a lose of words as to why the B-25C was modeled and not the J. Its gonna be a collecting dustin a week.

Because there was a need for an early war American medium bomber. The late war has the B-26B already.

LOL! How bout thanks for thinking of the overall picture since the C/D was in service a lot longer then the J and with the H modeled you have essentially a J anyway unless you want the glass nose J.

The three birds modeled cover the widest timeframe of the war as well as the most varied use in MTO, PTO, ETO with the RAF, CBI and Russian Front.

I think it was a great choice to do those birds. The J was last on my list since the B25D Strafer was such a factor in the Pacific war. It was by far the more important B25 model in the Pacific.

The C is cannon fodder. At least the J has a defensive chance with a tail gunner. I won't be flying it again.

Just seems like a waste of time modeling a bomber that few [if any] players will fly. The P-39 would have had more use in game.

Good thing you didn't waste Your time then, isn't it?

Perhaps it was modeled by people who Wanted to invest their time, good for them, darn fine job on what they Did do.

Imagine if they tried to address every whine, they would never get a thing done. For every Lack of C model complaint, you get a Pro J, or shoulda been a P39 with the inevitable P39 woulda sucked.

Good thing they just do what they want to do and put Something out.
I honestly cannot comprehend what drives people to complain about such trivial junk, I hope to God I never understand it.

So fly the H and quit whining. That and get some sense of the history of the 25 and you might appreciate what those guys did way back when.

Well, lets see how many 25Cs will be flown in a week.

Don't see the problem. Many fly this game because they enjoy the opportunity to fly virtual WW2 aircraft. By the train of thought that certain aircraft should not be created because they are "not as good" as later versions seems to defeat the purpose to begin with.

Irrelevant really.

I've got more kills with the defensive guns so far than I do with the forward firing. This is a pointless whine.
