You should get the B25H in AH. I think that would be a cool add on in aces high.

What does the b25 do that the B26 doesn't do better?

Except perhaps a 75mm howitzer in the nose.

???

Yep, thats why its not here dude.

Hey Ghosth

I know it wont happen but I can never get past stuff like this

The B-25 was flown by numerous air forces, including England, China and Russia, and was built in numerous variations. Some variants mounted up to 14 0.5 Browning machine guns or even a 75mm M-4 cannon. These attack variants proved devastating to Japanese shipping and in the ground attack role.

The thing the B25 has over the B26 is that the B25 is just so sexy to look at, and is just one hot bird. The B26 on the otherhand is just plain ugly in life and in the game.

lets see, the B25H has way better armor alone compared to the b26. The B25H has the 75mm cannon,14 browning .50 caliber machine guns. In addition the B25H can carry 3,200 pounds of bombs or a 2,000 pound aerial torpedo plus it can carry eight 5 inch rockets under the wings. there is 2 different models of engines are in the B25H, which are R-2600-13 or the R-2600-29 which both engines do produce 1,700 hp at take off. all in a basket i think the B25H would be a great noe mission style plane or killing cv's. which ever a person shall use this great all around bird for use. was just a idea. The b26 does have its stuff, but in my book doesnt even come close to the B25H

As they should, no level bomber sunk a CV in WWII.

Yeah but weren't there less than 300 LA-7 with the three cannon option.....

Mussie sir, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't "mind" seeing a b25 come to AH.

I just got over expecting it a LONG time ago.

Actually I'd like to see a couple of the earlier models free for the main.
Perk the H model low, 6 - 10 perks. Gives us bomber types something to spend perks on and have some fun.

That "should" keep it reined in enough to make it not such a problem.

But I want about 10 - 12 Russian, Japanese, & Italian birds AHEAD of the b25.

We have all the main US fighters except the P39, Why?
We have most of the main US bombers.

What we really need is Russian, German, Italian, and Japanese mid & heavy bombers. Late war Japanese Navy Attack planes.

And then we need Flying Boats. PBY's, Short Sunderlands, H8K & H6k Japanese flying Boats, etc. The whole works.

The flying boats are a logical step to have done BEFORE we get subs.

368. But let's not leave the N1K2 all alone in the corner.

Only 415 were produced.

I agree ghosth.

Btw mussie, I'd love to see the 25 in the game. However, I'd like to see the I.A.R. 81c, PBY, Mig-3 and P-39 first. However we have enough HO wagons in the arsenal. Hell I'd love to see the Stuka with the 37mm gun pods, but again, those would be the new HO wagon.

If they brought the b25h in and left off the formations it would be something between the a20 and the b26. I'd love to see it in there. Would make a great SEA event to do the doolittle raid!

Has anyone thought of perking not the plane, but specific ordnance configurations? Maybe perk it with a torp, or with the giant nose gun. Could make a good balance.

bkbandit · « **Reply #13 on:** August 09, 2006, 10:04:36 PM »

Yea there werent that many la7 wit 3 cannons and niks, o well they will never perk them.

The dolittle raid isnt a reason to do b25s, then people will be wanting it as a permanet carrier plane, the sbd and tbm are all u need(if u could get off the deck fully load and fully fueled). b25 wit a monster cannon would be cool for kill towns and tanks, i doubt it will be a ho wagon, move out of the way its a bomber wont to much to position ur self for the kill.

We need alot of earlier war planes. We need more planes period. there was a british bomber before lancester(i forgot the name) we need that, we need some german bombers, he111 should have been here a long time ago, the BETTY should have been here. More gvs, the sharmen should have been here. Everything listed here should be added to the list, the pby and other recon planes can wait till we get subs but somethin new has to come.

twiggs · « **Reply #14 on:** August 13, 2006, 04:30:51 PM »

Well, sence evey1 talking about other planes needed, you should get some more gv's, like american tanks and etc. another thing that would be a cool add on is the JU-52, the reason i say the JU-52 is becuase it has top gunner and side gunners to protect it some what better than the C-47, but the C-47 is a bit faster and has a bit faster climb rate then the JU-52 but it would be good to have a choice on what troop/field supply or gv supply carrier you would wanted to fly.

And to clarify the doolittle raid, they used the B25C model which only had a top,nose and tail gunner. And they had to take out the top and tail gun's on the B25C to just get it off the carrier. The B25H with its cannon would never ever lift off a cv. There is also the B25J model too. The B25J and the B25H can carry rockets and yes they had more gunners then the B25C. And like i said before yes I like the B25's alot, got several books on them and the B-17's and P-38's, But who cares. Just would like to see the B25H or all 3 models the B25C B25J and the B25H the most. If anything no perks on the B25C, 5 or 10 perks on the B25J and like 30 to 100 perks for the B25H.

I agree we need some more planes here and there, But some more gv's would be cool.
