I want AP for B-25H's 75mm gun to hunt down tanks instead of field acks and builbings.
-
the 25H only had HE.The B25H had the canon on it for killing ships,HE did alot more damage the AP rounds would.And the HE can kill tanks,just need to hit time in the right spot.
-
HE on average will do more damage than an AP round could hope to do. Seeing as the only really armoured tank we have is the tiger... its not needed.
-
That sometimes is true, being that I took a break and went to H2H. I had a tiger, shot a guy with a HE round in a t34 side on, and it hit the front. Then, what? KAPOW!:huh
Guess who? Who got a PNG?:D

I killed a Panzer with the B-25H 75mm cannon in 1 shot. Hit the top of the turret.
-
Please correct me if I am wrong here, but the B25H never carried AP, just had HE for anti ship and other ground tarets. So even though it historically did not have that load out you think AHII should have it just because you have not found the sweet spot to aim at on a tank to kill it with HE?:lol
-
I got a kill on both a Tiger and Panzer on a 25H sortie last night. I didn't pop them with the shot and got credited after bombs and AP finished them off.
I DID, however, smoke the Tiger's engine.

Man, whats next people asking for AA rounds
-
No, next they will be asking for A-A missiles. AIM54C anyone?:p :p :rofl

In all reality you are missing the point.
From range the 75mm can pick off m16's and flaks. "flaks from higher angles"
On harder armored targets you can pickle 500's to finish off a wounded tank as you fly over head.
.salvo 2
Shoot from 1.5 out, then prep to drop a few 500's at 1k
FFS, you figure this out you got it made when attacking tanks of any kind.
(ehem) When it comes to fireflys stay out of there gun range or they can snipe you. "dont fly right at them low level like a dumdum":lol
:aok

From my little experience, 75 HE can kill panzer and M4, T-34 looks like invulnerable for it. There are more chances to get killed by M4's main gun than kill him with B-25H's 75 lol. B-25 is ultimate M3 killer, btw.
I know B-25H never had AP most probably. I want it because sniping GVs with 75 is more fun than shooting them with IL-2's 23mms which are more effective right now. btw, we dont have IL-2M3 and Ju87 both with 37mm guns. Why dont give antitank variant of B-25H with APs? HTC can make them weaker comparing other 75 APs to keep balance in place. And B-25 far more vulnerable for fighters than IL2 and Hurr2D.
Anyway, i wouldnt kill myself aganst wall if my wish never comes true :lol

Vans, I agree with you on this and have been saying this for a long time. BUT, some people in the game don't want to believe you with HE vs. AP. I have noted shooting a tank in the 6-area with HE and nothing happens and I get told theres armor, blah blah blah... But, with the amount of HE hitting the back of a GV would hit something vital dealing with the engine. That's just my .02 cents on it.
As far a shooting that 75mm and sniping GV's... I was testing it out and was lofting rounds out at squadies in GV's. I hit AKoLButt from 3.5 out and was sitting in the tower very quickly. And that as from a straight on shot... so, yes HE will do some damage.
It has alot of posibilities and will be fun to figure them all out.... :aok

It depends where you hit them... See this film. (http://home.att.net/~c.c.jordan/KillingT-34s.ahf)

If you want a dedicated no-bs tank-killer, look for the Henschel Hs129. Late in the war there were a small number equipped with experimentally rigged recoilless AT-rifles firing down at a angle. Magnetically triggered with sensors on the underside of the a/c all the pilot had to do was to fly over a known tank position and the AT-rifles would trigger automatically. They were effective but far too few to make a impact.
Here's the cannon rigging, a 75mm PAK40, essentially the same gun used in the mid to late-war PzIV models. You can see the revolving drum magazine holding 12 rounds, adds up to 13 if you roll loaded.

Tiger can currently be killed by B-25's 75mm cannon the same way you kill a T34: Hit the top of the driver's compartment.
