Title: B-25?

Why is there no B-25?  It was an integral bomber of the era.  I think there should be one.

Very simple answer: new aircraft production dropped to 0 per release during the development of AH2. Until all of the AH1 objects are brought up to AH2 graphic and phsyics models, I wouldn't expect anymore new aircraft.

You can be sure that once AH2 replaces AH1, aircraft and vehicle production will return.

There are a great many aircraft that played a huge and integral part in WWII that are not in AH yet.  Everytime HTC chooses units to add in a new release they must omit units that were integral in favor of other units that were integral.  Also, it is not a one-to-one thing.  The P-40E and P-40B being added takes less work than the Bf109E-4 and P-47D-11 being added and those two take less work than a B-25.  That is, I'd guess, one reason that the P-40s showed up at the same time and the F4F and FM2 showed up at the same time.
