Post by: Ack-Ack on August 03, 2007, 07:02:29 PM: The B-25H only carried 21 rounds for the 75mm. The amount you see in Waffle's video is most likely the result of him changing the settings so he can test it offline.

Question is, are we going to have rockets available as well for the B-25H? It was able to carry 8 HVAR rockets as well as carry I think around 3k of eggs on wing hard points.

Despite what some think, it will be a potent town destroyer and field porker.

It needs a bigger dose to get 98 rounds of 75mm.

If we're talking about the latest batch of pictures on the front page, I see a tail gunner.

That's all I need. Similar to flying the Yak9T with 32 rounds 37mm.

Post by: Saxman on August 03, 2007, 08:42:27 PM: I'd like to know what sorts of ordinance she's going to have. B-25s carried about everything from conventional bombs and rockets, to parafrags and torpedoes.

Post by: Tango on August 03, 2007, 08:58:24 PM: I thought someone said there was no TG in the H?

If it does have one, then YUP I'll be excited.

Post by: Stoney74 on August 04, 2007, 12:17:23 AM: Definitive website on the B-25H/PBJ-1H at http://www.vmb-613.com

They were the only Marine VMB that flew the H model and the website has a huge amount of resources about the plane, the systems, and their employment during the war. Very good write ups about the 75mm and the systems that supported it. Also, a definitive list of ordnance types used by VMB's and the bombay configurations possible.

So, I wonder if HTC will model the radar-assisted aiming on the 75mm...? PT boats are gonna start pissin' themselves. :D

I doubt it, but theoretically, they could. There's going to be a lot of firepower on the H model, that's for sure. And it should be somewhat defensible with the top and tail turrets. I'm looking forward to what type of ballistics the 75mm has.

Shameless cut and paste, from the site you linked.

(http://www.vmb-613.com/images/cannon.JPG)
A diagram showing the various components of the T13E1 75mm cannon. The entire cannon weighted 763 pounds and had a muzzle velocity of 2,362 feet/second. Its maximum effective range was 5,100 yards.

Not to shabby.

I never voted for it in any round, does that give it extra armor plating when I attack it? :rolleyes:
