 I just want a 25 that has a bomb sight and a TAIL GUN!     I would use the C more but it's almost suicide to try going on any bombing mission with it, your better off to take some Bostons, they at least have speed going for them.

So what you are really saying is you want a formation of 25s with tail guns?  The whole idea behind the strafers was to go in low and drop the bombs keeping the flak gunners heads down with the MGs.  They did it quite successfully.  The 25s that level bombed tended to go with escorts

18 .50s seem kinda pointless. I dont see the need to have them unless you plan on strafing towns with them. Besides, thats what the 75mm HE gun on the -H is used for, right?

And still, you have the same amount of guns firing forward for strafing on the B-25C now.

J strafers had four additional forward .50cal. It was also possible to lock the dorsal turret forward, for a total of 14 forward guns for strafing.
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.

If you want a B25J strafer then just use the B25H. Lord knows if you can't kill something with 8x50s and a 75mm cannon then I doubt you'll kill anything with 12x50s.

Oh and +1 for the B25J GLASS NOSE with a bombsite and drones.

I'd like the 25J so as to have a level bomber that has a little bit more defensive punch than the 25C. Almost like a 25H minus the nose guns w/ a bomb sight.

That may be, but do you know just how AWESOME firing 12 nose .50cal with tracers on would look? Now if only we could set tracers by the individual aircraft.... :D

But if HTC adds a glass nose, it's not all that hard for them to include a solid nosed strafer like the 25C.
