Nope.

North American B-25H

"The B-25H was an improved version of the B-25G. The fixed nose armament was increased to four nose-mounted .50-cal. machine guns and four more .50-cal. machine guns in fuselage mounted pods. The 75mm cannon was changed from the -G model's M4 to the lighter T13E1 75mm cannon. The top turret was moved to the forward fuselage and the lower turret was removed and replaced by a single .50-cal. machine gun in each of the two waist positions. A tail turret housing a pair of .50-cal. machine guns was added bringing the firepower total to 14 .50-cal. machine guns and a 75mm cannon. The aircraft could also carry up to 3,200 pounds of bombs."

No 20 mm.

Modified J's? Same Source:

"NAA modified 800 -J models by installing a solid nose in place of the bombardier's 'greenhouse.' The solid nose housed eight .50-cal. machine guns bringing the total to eighteen--fourteen of which were forward firing for strafing missions."

I'd like to see a B25 that could take off carriers and a few biplanes ike the SeaGladiator.  Some japanese bombers&fighters would be nice too, But we need biplanes the most :D

Forgive a question from an ignorant... I thought the DooLittle Raid used the B25s because the performance was better?  Or was I mistaken?

Do you think HT actualy read any of these and take ideas from them, or do you think they sit there and go 'Ha no chance of that ever happening':)

ooooo.... that 36 would be the all time high end bomber-perk!!  whew, those suckers were purdy.  If anyone is ever up around Omaha NE (god know's I don't wish it on you), the SAC Museum has a 36 on display.  Really is awe inspiring thinking guyz really got in them and flew them... like, off the ground :)
