B-25J Mitchell
« on: July 03, 2013, 09:12:17 PM »
Over 4,000 models built, saw plenty of action.  I believe this aircraft could see more use in the MA then the B-26B.


Thanks,
Warthog

It would be nice to see it added, but I am not sure I agree it would see more use than an updated B-26B.  The B-26 is faster and better defended.

If im not mistaken this has the same defense as the B26 in the rear just the 26 is a HOers nightmare

It can cover below MUCH better than the 25.  I've nip more than my share of folks that go in low, but are just a tad too far to the right or left. :t

I think the gunship version would get a fair bit of usage. Hard to argue with 12 forward .50cal.

But the B25 in AH is a heck of a bullet sponge, way more so then the B26.  It in terms of AH is better in terms of defense.  Most attacks in the MA come from the rear. The B25 has a twin mount in the tail as opposed to the single in the B26 and owing to the twin tail allows the top turret an excellent field of fire that the B26 lacks.  It would (could?) have superior frontal armament compared with the b26.
If we assume similar performance to a B25H it has superior rate of climb and in WEP is marginally faster.

Edit: Here are the charts.

Speed performance B25H Vs B26 in AH:

It was a PBJ-1J (Marine Corps version of the B25J) 1sum got me into the group and I also got to do some air shows and wrenching on it.
