Why no J model?

The B25 will have practicle use, amongst us.

Will couple with B26 Firepower though, for V attack.

For LArge airfield implementation.

I await this weekend.

Hub, have you tried the glass nosed C at alt?

It's WAY better than the B-26 above 10k. The 26 is a joke at even medium alts. I haven't flown the 25 enough to lose an engine yet (er... without losing the entire wing, I mean) but the B26 couldn't keep level with 1 engine out at 14k last time it happened to me. Just too weak above 9k.

The B-25 was going strong past 15, and only starting to get weak at 18k. 1k less ord, but much better performance. That makes up for it in my book!

I feel that too many whines are generated from people that only fly the MA.  


Due to this problem the MA will now be closed permanently.

Krusty:

At least up to around 5000-7000ft the B-25H is VERY stable on one engine. I'm not so sure about how this compares to the C at altitude, but I think it's promising.

One general perception in the arenas: The 25 is a TANK. While I've flown 4 sorties and went down on two, one of them was to a 5" shell from a CV that clipped my wing, and the other case involved getting ganged by about 4-5 cannon-armed birds, and even then she STILL took a significant amount of fire from all of them before going TU.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I had no problem cutting the wing off the first B-25 I saw, but I was in a Mossie.

The B-25 flies amazingly well with one engine. I stopped the port engine in the TA and flew around for a while and then landed easily.   It must be because the engines are so close to the fuselage but it doesn't pull at all, unlike the 38.

The H is going to be a lot of fun, much more fun than dogfighting the A-20. I can't wait to hear the screams of outrage from LA7 HO'ers when they get vaporized by the 75 mm from 2k out on their HO run.  That gun is a laser.

I can't believe they put in the C model but didn't put in the D.

Ridiculous. And shameful.

Hehe, gotcha. This is a joke. I know they're the same. Zing!

Yup, the H is fun, but I doubt the C will get much use in game. The J would get more use.

Oh it will, in about 2 months when the FSO CMs finish the scenarios they're writing for it.

If you were going to dog fight in the Mitchell, the C is the far better choice.  The H feels very nose heavy when maneuvering, especially when looping.

So what.

They put a lot of stuff in that won't get much use.  Why have anything other than the La-7, Spitfire Mk XVI, B-24J and Firefly VC?  After all, nothing else is used as much...

So, new criteria, if a unit won't exceed the useage of one of those then it shouldn't be added.

I'm sure it'll be used by hundreds of people in scenarios and other events for years to come.  :)

I dunno, the forward gun package on the C is pretty weak.
