B-25 variants
« Reply #15 on: April 09, 2007, 05:56:52 PM »
Can we please have the 75mm variant (G and H models) we've been talking about?  Pretty please!?  Would be nice to have an attack plane that would be effective vs. a mad GV rush after perking ord.  Have your buddy fake an attack vs. that Osty while you line up with the big kahuna.

Without this variant there will be little use if any, in the most popular LW arenas.  I'd hate to see the plane go unused after all this.

Would be so very nice to squash hangar and runway squatters who exit flight the first time they hear bombs being dropped to avoid getting spattered.  




Four machine guns across the middle of the nose.

The 75mm cannon is partially hidden in a 'well' low in the nose.

Four machine guns in side 'blisters' (only port-side pair visible).

Two in top 'dorsal' turret.

Two in waist positions (again only port-side shown).

Two in tail turret.

You mean removing it as a mannable position?  I could see that being weird to code if you don't go separate models and just as a load out.

They did not get the strafers.  That was a PTO mod.

The gun nosed versions were for the most part used in the PTO and CBI.

I have seen some photos of G models in the MTO but not many
