B25, made of kevlar?

I thought the Mossies were made of titanium coated with kevlar. I finally shot one down today after hitting it about 500 times.

My suggestion to anybody who thinks another aircraft is nigh invulnerable is to take it out and fight in it.  See how tough it is when you are the one being shot.

And as 25280 said, there's no need to wait for a CV to be doing something to up a Hog.


  Want to find a bullet-proof B-25? Run your CV up close to a base and watch the latest dweebs make 3-4 passes through CV ack while killing the CV's guns. Ridiculous. B-25H has just about ruined the use of a CV close to bases.

Gee, an anti shipping cannon actually being used for what it was intended?
And to find out that it actually WORKS!

WWwwwaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhh!


Yes, don't bring your CV's into shore without cap to protect it.
Yes, go ahead and drop those bomber hangers with the FH's.
Or they'll just mass 25 swarm you and kill the cv.
Yes rethink sending LVT's into a hostile enviorment.
B25 LOVES to eat Lvt's and troops.

So yes it has changed things, this is true.

What it has not done, is become an overbalanced monster.
Its not killing every tank out there with a single shot.
Its dieing just as often as it kills. In short, its balanced, its added another layer to combat, and that in my opinion, is a good thing.

Started hitting a cruiser from 4k out the other day. By the time I reached it, it was nose down and sinking. Zig zagged my way out and came back got 2 destroyers in one pass. Made it back to base for a good landing and got a surprise.

Whoooyooooo BEAUCOUP perks for that one short run.
