It is unfortunate we do not have a B-25J to level bomb with. The b25c is a sitting duck as a level bomber with only 1 top turret for defense. The B25H gets used as it can defend itself well. The B25c is not used much.

We have the technology and all the pieces to make a B-25J with minimal effort.

I am still surprised the B-25J was overlooked or ommitted when the B25 was added as it was a very popular airplane in so many online ww2 sims and used extensively.

with the new specularity maps the results of a metal and olive drab B-25J could be mesmerizing upping its usage even more.

a prime example of this is the P47D25 with its new default skin. Many (myself included) fly this jug more than the others based on its appearance in its new olive drab and metal finish which is fantastic.

Yes please (image)
That's not a standard B-25J as most of them were delivered as level bombers with a glazed nose for the bombardier. AFAIR marine corps got several hundred of the attack version. Standard B-25J could be field-modified into the attack version.

slightly separate note what kind of speed are we looking at for the level bomber?

I wish people would use the wish list forum to post their brilliant ideas, and be smart enough to not post all their stupid ones.

But I am under no disillusions of my wish ever being fulfilled.

Per wikipedia, the B-25J had a top speed of 272mph at 13,000ft.
