You've got th 25C strafer to play with. How many MGs do you need? :)
Other birds needed far more then that one.

True, but doesn't seem like it would be a WHOLE lot of work to model. Fit the nose of the C with its glass and strafer options to the fuselage of the H, and add an additional strafer package with four more .50s in the nose.

And program a new flight model. Oh yeah... That programming thing....

Of course.
Because i totally dont want 18 fifty cals for strafing or some overkill when attacking planes. That would just be ridiculous. :P

I need 18.
Any less than that and it would be almost suicide to attack anything but a C-47. :D

You don't need 18 machine guns on a bomber so you can attack other aircraft with it. Use a fighter and let HTC put resources towards things that are needed.

+1 on the B-25J. No reason not to add it, we already have the C and H anyway.

Dont tell me what I dont need 18 machine guns for!
I need it for a secret experimental tactic for finally winning the war... :noid

he needs 18 .50 so he can vulch,HO, and pork all at the same time

ack-ack

I just want a 25 that has a bomb sight and a TAIL GUN! I would use the C more but it's almost suicide to try going on any bombing mission with it, your better off to take some Bostons, they at least have speed going for them.

So what you are really saying is you want a formation of 25s with tail guns? The whole idea behind the strafers was to go in low and drop the bombs keeping the flak gunners heads down with the MGs. They did it quite successfully. The 25s that level bombed tended to go with escorts
-
18 .50s seem kinda pointless. I dont see the need to have them unless you plan on strafing towns with them. Besides, thats what the 75mm HE gun on the -H is used for, right?

And still, you have the same amount of guns firing forward for strafing on the B-25C now.

J strafers had four additional forward .50cal. It was also possible to lock the dorsal turret forward, for a total of 14 forward guns for strafing.

That's th B-25J??? I thought it was shaped like the B-24J but the prop was angled up than stright. What did you know, I learned something new. :)
-
If you want a B25J strafer then just use the B25H. Lord knows if you can't kill something with 8x50s and a 75mm cannon then I doubt you'll kill anything with 12x50s.
Oh and +1 for the B25J GLASS NOSE with a bombsite and drones.
-
I'd like the 25J so as to have a level bomber that has a little bit more defensive punch than the 25C. Almost like a 25H minus the nose guns w/ a bomb sight.

That may be, but do you know just how AWESOME firing 12 nose .50cal with tracers on would look? Now if only we could set tracers by the individual aircraft.... :D
But if HTC adds a glass nose, it's not all that hard for them to include a solid nosed strafer like the 25C.

B-26B, already in game.
