My vote is the B-25

But then again a smart pilot in the 88 could use his dive flaps to force an over shoot

Hell if anyone wants to find out i will line up for it

Ju-88 ... especially if Drex was behind the stick.

Ju-88 will be all over the B-25H unless an idiot was at the control of the Junkers.

My vote is for the B-25. I doubt that the Ju-88 has enough 7.9mm's to do much of anything to the B-25.

no different then the 7.62 on the C and i believe the ju88 would win, higher manuverablilty while the b25 is sluggish at almost everything the 88 is good at (minus diving)

Which C model? The glass nose version has a fixed .50 cal, the other two have eight .50 cals. The B-25C isn't that sluggish... Turns a fairly small circle with flaps out.

Don't bother dueling the Ju 88 vs the Boston III. That is a total mismatch as the Boston flies circles around the Junkers, out-climbs it with ease and is much faster. I've dueled these two with 2bighorn and the Junkers is badly out-classed.

Junkers will out-maneuver the B-25 but it will still be a draw. JU-88 does not have enough forward firing rifle-calibre ammo to bring down a B-25.

EDIT/If the Ju-88A-4 would have the 20mm MG-FF/M option, it would be a different story...but even then the 60 round drum would require very accurate gunnery./EDIT

I love 88's, but the Two-Five would chew it up.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
