B25 level bomber with atleast a tail gun.
« on: March 21, 2010, 10:00:15 PM »
I have no idea if they had any but from what I can gather there were plenty of variants on the b25. I am just thinking it would be nice to have a b25 with a defensive gun that can guard against a dead six attack so I dont have to fly with a gunner to make use of the top turret.

I dont know squat about the other in game b25, but the b25h which I fly a lot has tail gun, 2 waist guns, and a top gun.

The B25-C did not come out with the gun package that the B25-H & the later model B25-J. After the H&J'S came out a number of units changed the B25-C models to incorporate the gun packages of the H&J. If we get the perk for ords option maybe this could be used to change the C model & infact even the Boston.

Here is how you beat a enemy con on your dead six that stays below your top gun. Pull the nose up & lock it in on a slow climb now all of your guns are looking right at him.

No need to add guns to the -C model. That just screws up balances for early war setups/scenarios.

I'd much rather just have the J model added on top of what we already have.

For one, I would love to have that extra pair of tail guns in MA flying, but the biggest thing I'd love would be a 12-gun nose! (yeah, yeah, no guarantee we'd get a strafer model, but either way I'd be happy with SOME sort of J-model)

There is not just "one" strafer model. I was talking about a B-25J the option for a solid 12-gun nose, but retaining the defensive armaments similar to the B-25H.

That's quite a bit different from our B-25C with an 8-gun solid nose, and no tail or side guns.

I'd really love to have the B25J, however, I'd also like to have the B26 updated which would basically be a slightly better B25J. (although it's not as sexy as the B25)

The B-25 should have more then just a tail gun,it was able to have torpedoes.

Not sure if they ever used them operationally though.
