Yeah, but the AP will do it without a suicidally low and level or tricky vertical gunnery pass.

And from 3000yds out.

:D

Besides, maybe if we got the AP rounds GVers would stop complaining about the 37mm on the Il-2.

:D


You imply that you actually take off in the B25....Strange. ;)

I just drive around popping stuff, no Wirbly looks that far down at their 6. :D

I am all for the AP. It will make every other plane obsolete as a tank buster. They say the Il-2 is the bane of there existance. I say once we get this, we prove them wrong. And in war, proving someone is wrong often means proving they have no business breathing.

I'd definitely like to see provisions hardpoints for external stores, options for both additional bombs and the 5" HVAR or (PLEAAAAASE!) Tiny Tims, which I believe were also fit to B-25s.

Yes they were :aok Sadly it looks as if they only were used in combat on some D & J model 25's with this marine unit. I don't know if they would be accepted on our C version with no radar blister on the nose. :frown:. So at best guess we will never see them.

Sweet picture. :aok

In one of my books I have it shows pictures of an experimental flame thrower B-25 & I just can't seem to find it at the moment to post. It was dumped as unsuccessful,however it is interesting to see how so many differant attempts were made to try stuff out on this sturdy air frame.

Well the reason I could not find a picture is because there is none just this paragraph.

GIVE ME MY TINY TIM"S NOW!!!!! I must kill those damned wirbs.


BTW, I have a quick question not deserving of a thread of it's own. I see the RV-8 in the gunsight section of prefrences. But it isn't in my hanger. Is it a joke, or are we getting it?

1-2 postes for replys, I don't want to hijack.

A 1000 pound rocket.

Actually, it was a 500lb semi-AP naval shell with a rocket motor strapped to it. That's why it had that odd 11.75" diameter.

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.

It some times is enabled on some maps from time to time. I think there is other threads on this very issue.

Stand corrected :aok I was reading of it's earlier design proposal of being 1000lbs or less.

I believe the "Tiny Tim" was a 500 lbs Semi-Armor Piercing bomb with a rocket motor (developed at CalTech) attached.

Well since this piece of ordnance seems popular here is all I have on it in relation to the B-25.

Is it me, or is that a black paint-job on that PBJ-1???   :cool:

May need to let Greebo or one of the other skinners know?
