Title: Why the B25? Yossarian! yay!
Post by: Hats on April 09, 2007, 09:01:04 AM
many have asked "oh great god, vishnu, or allah, why do the evil doers of AH2 plauge us with democracy and then crap planes?"




the reason is simple.


Catch-22.









READ BOOKS! you might appriciate the mitchell more. Catch-22 is a hilarious but starkly scary book, a must read!

OK, I have to admit that I really thought the P-39 was a shoe-in!  So the new plane is the Mitchell huh?  z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z

The film is poor.

The book is a classic.

Im amazed the B25 won, thought most AH players wanted a plane sooner rather than later, as it is the b25 will take much longer to make than the P39!

I originally voted Me-410. But when that dropped out, I switched to the B-25. Still hoping to get a 75mm spud gun with it. :D

B-25H will be the scourge of GVers.  Anyone have any data on whether a 75mm shell will penetrate the roof armor of a Tiger?  Also, did B-25Hs have both AP and HE shells?

Ostie and M16 K/D numbers are going to go up in the future..... at least for a couple of weeks.   LTARs gonna love the release of that patch.

B-25 vs Osties and M-16s, now that will be a nice match up.

     Doubt very much that a howitzer would have AP rounds.

Found the data:

Armour penetration (M72 AP shell, 457 m, at 30 degrees): 76 mm
