Agree that around 250 mph you get aprox 1k closure between reloads. So timing that first shot can be critical.  Very very nice work you've done with this AKP

Great information AKP.

Thankee thankee...  It was a pleasure doing it!   

And just another note regarding the number of shots you can get off during an attack run...  2 hits will take down just about all of your softer targets (town buildings, towers, ammo bunkers, barracks, etc).  1 hit will take down any gun battery, (except a shore battery).  Hangars and ships can be softened up or finished off by the 75mm cannon, but are best dealt with by bombs.  In the case of hangars its takes 3000lbs of explosives to take one down.  The explosive power of a single 75mm HE round is calculated in AH as being 156.3 lbs of ordnance... so it would take 20 hits with the 75mm to knock down a hangar.  I have never tested that to its completion, as I use bombs in combination with the cannon to hit hangars with.  Kinda like the ol' "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop" question. 

The primary mission I fly in the 25H is deacking fields, taking out softer targets, and strafing GV's.  The 25H is best used in a SUPPORTING role with other attackers when hitting hangars or a task group.

Had a few people asking how to get the sights I have posted here... 

Just right click on the picture of the sight you want, select "save image as", then put it in your sights folder.  Once you go into the game, go into options... then select gunsights, and assign that sight to the pilots position on the B25H.

They will be transparent once you get them into the game.

Great sight and fantastic write up on it.

Thanks again, for sharing this with the AH community, and B-25 drivers in particular.

I popped this in and didn't get a picture frame remotely resembling your screen shots...

I think this might have to do with screen resolution...

I am running at 1920 x 1200

I have the same problem, I believe this is happening because the sight was never changed to work with the new mil system that HTC put in a few patches ago, hence the sight is too big.

Note: I believe the distances are still close enough that the idea of the sight still works, it's just too big atm

Sorry about that... the mil size for this sight with the new system is 85.  To get that, make a .txt file in your sights folder.  The only thing in the file is 85, written on the first line.  Save it, then rename the file to B25H75mmV3.mil (if you are using the final version of my sight).

Hope that helps.
