Title: B25C's missing guns
Post by: glzsqd on May 02, 2015, 06:41:20 PM

The B25C doesn't have its belly/Ventral gun......  Any particular reason why?

Due to the design the gunners got vertigo & airsick with the early versions that had it. It was removed from all production models at some point. More B-25c's were made with out the belly gun than ever was with.

A statement about the ventral gun:
"The worst thing ever designed was the bottom turret of the B-25. It was the stupidest bit of equipment. My God, the operator is sitting in one place getting a reverse image through a mirror. He couldn't hit a thing. It slowed the damn plane down, and we weren't getting belly attacks anyway. What they really needed was a tail gun, which they eventually installed."

So for AH it might be right to have it removed.

What production block is the B-25C we have in-game?  The belly gun was removed on the B-25C-5 production block.  The B-25C should also have wing hard points for additional bombs (introduced with the B-25C-1 production block) and the ability to carry a torpedo.
