I spent the evening suppressing wife ack, but I was oh so looking to up a G-14 and start shredding B-25's before the buff guys figured out how to fly em!

Was it a slaughter or what?

only got 5, the first one didn't want to go down. split the tails off the next three, guess thats the magic spot.

i flew it a couple times, fun ride.

Incredible to see guys trying to fly the H model like a fighter, HOing with the 75mm...they all died in minutes.

Nothing like HOing a Sherman with the B-25.

And yes it has been figured out.

They burn too easy.

And the pilot gets wounded awful fast.

The B25H has 1,469 kills, and 2,543 have been shot down.

Not bad for 24 hours.

Killed 11 yesterday...Osti vs. B25 makes me giggle

Well I got 4 kills (2 GV 2 P51D) and 3 assists (all fighters) and only lost 1 plane while pulling too many Gs too fast and ripping my wing off.

I DID give baldeagl a proxy for that, though

So, 4:1 kill ratio, not bad (not counting assists!)

EDIT: Those are kills IN a -25, not OF a -25, just to clarify.

I only got one.

But I was too busy with other fighters to deal with 25s. Only reason I got the one I did get was because he seemed to be down with everyone else trying to dogfight.

I nailed two in Ostie 1 kill/1 assist. I nailed another one in a seafire. That 75mm is unbelievable! Those guys were on the deck alot. I think it adds a whole new level of blow em up fun.

Only saw one, killed it in one pass.

To paraphrase Yeager (or was in Anderson?) "The first time I saw a B-25, I shot it down."

It will be a fun bird. I killed a couple GVs, Augered a couple learning it's limits, and killed an LA with the top gun.

Killing ords won't help save GVs much anymore. The 75 is easy to use and fun.

Big targets for an Osti, so should be some fun upping a Flak when a bunch of 25s are camping a spawn.

B25's burn good and make a nice boom when they splat the ground.
