Make a semi-hangar queen into a popular aircraft...

[1carbine]

Yeah why not lets have a flying sherman with 14 .50cals that can aim in all directions +1

[Ghosth]

B25H is certainly no hanger queen, but yes I do wish I had a choice of loadout for it.

Even if I had to drop total number of rounds available. I think it would be worth it for 5 AP rounds.

[Avanti]

I'm up for AP rounds +1

[gyrene81]

Any chance we can get another 200 rounds of ammo for that cannon? My aim is so bad I'll need 200 just to kill a single tank.

[Spikes]

I think any ord loadout should be added to the 25...make it more useful. Rockets, AP rds, etc. It was voted #1 over the P39...I know it IS useful as it is but not many people take it up because it is such a big target. I personally love pluggin tanks with it.

Maybe not this tour........... But I have a few films of you kickin tail in that big hunk of crap!   

It is a fun plane no doubt.

Won't say no to AP however it will always be a hangar queen to some extent since the addition of Wirbels.

Wasn't the Wirbel in the game before the 25???

I was high tailing it home with 10 kills in the B-25H earlier this week, ended up getting run down though. It turns out the enemy doesnt like when you vulch them from 3-4k out with the main gun. Poor Wirbles, I wasnt even getting within base ack range much less those puny 20mm's.

B-25H can kill three hangers in four passes over a V-Base, five if you count the acks. . . .

It can deack and pork a large field. . . .

It can kill a cruiser in one pass. . . .

Did I mention I love this plane, best shot do date was a M8 on the move at 3,000 yards!

Larry's A-20 at 1.5k was a close second, if not for the whining alone.

think it was you and I talking about vulching guys out of base ack range with the 25. 

[Yossarian]

Interesting...I'm going to have to try that soon 

[1Boner]

No.

[Ack-Ack]

Thank you for the stats personally I want rockets over AP.

Those were jerry rigged field mods, especially the shot with the rockets in the nose.  However, the B-25H (and I think the J also) were able to mount HVARs on the wing, not sure how many between 6 and 10 I think.

I think it was 6.  IIRC they could also carry torpedoes, not sure if that was a one-off though.

True & so were some of the 50 cal blister pods on the H model in the early days.
