Not sure if this is correct, but the blood splatter on the RH side in the 25H seems off.

For the amount of holes near the gunner I would think there should be more?

maybe the rest of the blood is on the other side?  :headscratch:

Actually why is there bullet holes in the "glass". Did B25 side gunners have glass in front of them?

Yes. Much like later B-17 models did.

To me, it just seems like the blood should be on the glass

I was thinking the same thing. I didn't say "that's not a bug" or anything, just answered the question about having glass or not

Oh no, I just never made a clear statement on where the bug was.

Many gun positions just use holes to show that a crewman is wounded. IIRC, the only hint as an Il-2 gunner is a little nick at the top of the sight glass.
