Over 4,000 models built, saw plenty of action. I believe this aircraft could see more use in the MA then the B-26B.

I think you and I are the big fans of this, I've been asking since 2010.

It would be nice to see it added, but I am not sure I agree it would see more use than an updated B-26B. The B-26 is faster and better defended.

If im not mistaken this has the same defense as the B26 in the rear just the 26 is a HOers nightmare

It can cover below MUCH better than the 25. I've nip more than my share of folks that go in low, but are just a tad too far to the right or left. :t

I think the gunship version would get a fair bit of usage. Hard to argue with 12 forward .50cal.

But the B25 in AH is a heck of a bullet sponge, way more so then the B26. It in terms of AH is better in terms of defense. Most attacks in the MA come from the rear. The B25 has a twin mount in the tail as opposed to the single in the B26 and owing to the twin tail allows the top turret an excellent field of fire that the B26 lacks. It would (could?) have superior frontal armament compared with the b26.
If we assume similar performance to a B25H it has superior rate of climb and in WEP is marginally faster.
Edit: Here are the charts.
Speed performance B25H Vs B26 in AH:

B26 has twin mount tail.

Since my friend 1sum41 is a bit busy at the moment I'll speak for both of us when I say YES! +100

It was a PBJ-1J (Marine Corps version of the B25J) 1sum got me into the group and I also got to do some air shows and wrenching on it.

Oh that's awesome!!!!!
Wish I had the ability to do some 'wrenching' instead of what I normally do

Oops you're correct. I missed that after looking at the plane in F3 mode to try and confirm too :uhoh

Why don't you think so semp? I've taken more hits in a 25C then the 26B would ever dream of taking.

well I would like to hear your reasoning why the b25 would be used more. I mean is it the speed? the ords? the defensive guns? because currently the b25's are mostly used to hunt for gv's and not for bombing. that is my perception anyway, so what makes you think it will be used more than the b26?

whats the difference between the H and the J besides the 75mm cannon?
And when we getting rockets! :furious :furious

I guess I didn't come across the way I would of liked to when I posted this. I just think the B-25J is a more versatile aircraft in some ways given the fact that it can carry 8x 5in rockets with a 3,000 pound bomb load (it also has the ability to carry a torpedo). It basically has the same defensive capabilities as the 26 though the 26's waist gunners can reach a bit lower then the 25J. With almost 10,000 models of the B-25s (4,300+ of them being 25J's) I think people could have a more versatile aircraft in some ways that the B-26 can't do. Ie: de-acking, anti-carrier duties, etc.
I personally love this aircraft and I think it would make a great addition to the AH collection of aircraft.

Also, main selling point! It has a tail gun! :P

Perfect! now just give it a glass nose take away the 75mm and enable formations!

of course, We need to update older models!

I'll just call it the baby B-17 +1 :aok

I wanted to add my request for the B-25J. It is a beloved air frame that would definitely not be a hangar queen. The B-25J would relegate the "C" model to obscurity, but I would pay that price.
+1 for the B-25J

:airplane: The "C" model in this game would be soon forgotten!
-
Probably wouldn't take much effort to place it in the game. Just take the existing C model and do a little rework in the programming and modeling. Of all the wish requests for new airframe additions I've seen (including my own) this is the most realistic and plausible for the near term.
I hope AH is reading these.

Actually, you could take the "H" model and pretty much just add formations and a glass nose and you're done.

You'd also need to change the shape of the nose, the J had the longer nose similar to the early C models.

I don't think I've seen a B-25C since I came back in July.

B26 has twin mount tail.
and in addition to the twin guns it has speed.

They're in the back corner of the hanger under a dust covered tarp right next to the He-111s.

I've flown the C multiple times this tour, and killed a set of lanc a2a this past week.
