yes i can see now people complaining about any bomber coming of a carrier but if you do it like doolittle did it historically accurate and useful
they made alot of mods to the aircraft to make it do this one of which was changing its defenses by removing some of the guns
now i can see people complaining about having bomber runs off of carriers but still its something they did and AH always says they are seeking historical accuracy
-
the historical accuracy of Do little is that it happened only once and that the planes were field modified, so it won't happen in the main arena.
However, once a year, they do run an event the special events arena that simulates this specific mission.

and the ME-163 flew how many times in war????
its record was 16 air victories for 10 losses,
you might arguee 300 of the 163 where built but they only flew a total of 30 times in combat
why do we include some things that where done and very rarely used to not others
this goes along with my kamakazii idea the point is it was done and if you going to include things that where used less often with far less effect why not do things that would be fun and add other tactics to the game
who cares i hate those planes so much

the B25 is not a carrier plane
Kamikaze is not a tactic, its an act of desperation. Grab any plane loaded with bombs, drop them just before you crash like a two weeker on the carrier deck, and that's it, you've done Kamikaze, you're the man.
-
I say YES to the TB-3. :D It does meet the requirements to be included. :x
-
did the b25 launch from the carrier yes it did
it was a modified version
where there plans to do it again yes there where
just cause it only happened once doesn't mean anything
-
did it land on a carrier? Can it be stored in a carrier? Does it have an arrestor hook and reinforced landing gear?
-
it was stored on the deck
if you wanna make it more realistic make it so only 15 can up off a carrier each time it spawns and then no more
the plan was never to land on the carrier but to continue on
not that it matter ive put a Lancaster down on a carrier in game play
-
Been asked for before over the years & it has not happened yet I doubt it will happen now.
When the B-25 first came out you could up off of a CV the practice was pointless though with all the late war aircraft just waiting out of the CV ack for them to come ashore most people just stopped upping.
-
The TBM-3 is a more capable bomber than the B-25 you are describing. Just use it.
-
How about fly a TBM and carry 4x500 lb bombs... just like the Doolittle raiders carried?
Oh, and you don't have to give up any guns =)

and AH always says they are seeking historical accuracy
So you're saying you're not a new poster, you've been around for a while?
Is there a reason you can't post under your old forum name(s)? Just curious. :)
-
i've read the forums never posted
just had these ideas in my head a while and thought id finaly put them out there
-
No Comedy Channel tonight for me!!

Sorry Dover, but chances are highly likely it will be a no. HTC have said that they won't add variants that were field mods, which is what the Doolittle B-25's were. They were very much modified, and therefore will most likely never be added. If they did add field-mod variants, I'd be asking for the over 9,000 variants of Bf-109's.

:lol
First name Ben? :D
You can land B-25s on a CV now and re-arm them so
another wish granted!

It never hurts to air your idea. Better than having a great idea that never sees the light of day.

Why are you flaming him? He doesn't need that. A simple "No" would suffice. If someone posts something you don't agree with, there is no need to be a turd.
-
Unfortunately we dont have the correct model B25,IIRC they used "C" model B25's and we dont have 1.
However usually on the aniversery of the Doolittle raid the event is recreated in 1 of the SEA arenas so knock yourself out and join the event.
:salute

Or you can get the next best thing here in Urbana Ohio.

We have the C, Doolittle used the B model. If you believe Wiki. :aok

you figure it was early in the war so you figure its the b but who knows
let email doolittle and find out

It was the b model. If you are also vDover in the game I can't say I'm suprised.

When you get the email address you can ask if it was really aircraft #40-2344 or if that's just an elaborate practical joke.

I'm against the idea. If a bird can not fit underneath the flight deck it has no buisness on the carrier. Sure the B-25s took off, but they couldn't land and they'd never take off from a carrier AGAIN. Same thing with all of the P-47s, they were loaded on by crane they could take off but didn't have a tail hook therefore they're invalid aswell.
Here's my two cents
If the wings don't fold, it has no tail hook, and it can't fit beneath the flight deck, it has no buisness.
I'd love the Doolittle idea, but it would be abused and incorrect.

HTC said that they will never add field mods.. whats that? is a plane that was modified as originally it came out from the factory... why we have the me-163? cuz they liked it and was added like he was in the start, no field mods... the B25 never came out from the factorys as carrier plane so u'll never see it like one in here.
Is just easy as that, try to think a lil before posting another "reason" to add it.

i remember 1 time while back in ma b25 were enabled off cvs only for
1 day.

The two main reasons it won't work in AH, #1- There is no 40Kt wind to take off in, #2- with only "deck" storage area, they only had 40% of the carrier deck left for takeoffs. It was the "B" model and was not a standard issue B-25B! From what I have seen in my short time playing this game, Aces High only uses the most common variant of a particular aircraft, not any which had modifications to them.
-
If you set up a custom arena you can enable the B-25 for CVs and you can set a 40 knot wind. :aok
-
you guys forget that the main reason they cant add the b25 to the cv is because it would be so hard to code broomsticks as mg's like they did t in the movie pearl harbor.

I think a few maps were missed & you could still do this along with the P-39Q for a while afterwards.
-
It sure is easier to find a reference to the B25s from the doolittle mission than it is to find reference to the P63 in combat.
-
did it land on a carrier? Can it be stored in a carrier? Does it have an arrestor hook and reinforced landing gear?
CAN you land it on a carrier?
Yes if your crazy enough.
In VF17 we get bonus wings and brownie points for landing one hehe

I rearmed an AR234 on a cv the other day.
