That's just plain madness! Only one working elevator and rudder, no ailerons, but both flaps!

I love driving the B25 around shooting gvs. Had a fun encounter with a Wirb once. I came in on a high aproach, shot and hit him. He managed to survive and pop a few rounds into me taking off half my wing, smoking and engine, and severing a fuel line. I manage to keep it under control, and went back for revenge. Shot him again and tracked him, and he got a few more hits on me getting a few gunners and an elevator. I couldn't keep it up anymore and put gears down in time tocrash land in the fields. Turned back around yet again and snuck up on him and blasted a round into his rear armor for the kill. I was able to drive myself back to our base for a landed sortie.  :)

As said before, I LOVE B-25s   :D

By 'high approach' roughly how high/how far away did you dive in from?

Who can hate the B-25 (except the enemy)?

I normally attack from around 1K on most tanks and keep a slight angle on the tank and begin fire at 1K with Dot of cursor just over the turret (or on).  If i know the tanker is going to shoot at me (turret pointed at me) I will come in at 3K or so and get a 45 degree angle on him and fire from 800 out with the Dot on the front of the tank.  Pull up quickly though as the B25 get Pilot wounds easily and anything 400 or closer can get ya.

Would have been nice if that turret had fallen down on top of your purdy B-25.  :D

Sadly enough i think it did, luckily it did no damage.  No scratching my purty B25 after death, or before for that matter. :D  Although some people seem to need to scratch my new Silver purtiness :O
