not bombers vs fighters. b25 strafer vs bomber destroyer

Again, you can't compare them.  Seriously, why do you insist on comparing apples and oranges?

You still don't see the point. You are comparing my 234 JET BOMBER with NO FRONT GUNS (The rear guns would still own ya though) compared to any other fighter...

One of us mentioned on the 1st or 2nd page that P-51 VLR is a lot heavier and less maneuverable than the D model. So the way I see it is that he just does not understand to what extreme.
He basically thinks that the P-51 VLR would perform and handle the same exact way as the B-25.

I guess from a kids perspective this would make sense.

Wasn't this also part of the Project Rainbow testing, to give it a low observability coating?

Yep. They were using some of the PR blue colors that the RAF tested for high alt recce birds.  That's why the logo was blue instead of red.

How could a B-25H or any other bomber make a suitable substitute for a P-51 as a long range escort?
