I would love this plane!  As great as the B-25H is, it does present a rather large target...

And you somehow think the Ju-87G-1 will not be as easy of a target?  You probably have a greater chance of survivability in the B-25H than you would in a Stuka.

I haven't flown the Stuka anywhere near enough to comment on its manoeuverability, but at the very least the Stuka would be a smaller target than the B-25.

The G-1 would not be very maneuverable at all, those gondolas come with a price.  The only thing the Stuka would have on the B-25H in terms of having a chance to survive is the smaller size which unfortunately is pretty much negated with its slow speed and rather poor maneuverability.  The Ju 87G-1s survivability pretty much requires having at least decent fighter protection or in ideal circumstances, operating under total tactical air superiority.  At least the B-25H would be able to defend itself if caught without fighter protection or not operating in an area under tactical air superiority.  In addition, the Mitchell enjoys better defensive fire power and coverage.

The stuka would be better for slaying gv's simply because it could make steeper dives without tearing its own wings off.

This is a crappy idea. Just about as bad as giving the I-l2 AP rounds. I want 6 or so AP rounds for the B-25H because it is a big wallowing tub that I can nail at 1000yds with the main gun, and the cocpit is like paper. But a stuka would be much harder to hit.


WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE TANKS?!?!?

Tank shoots me down with main gun ==> I hate that tanks ==> I somehow do my best to kill that tank ==> another tank gets in the way ==> I either kill it or get annoyed when it kills me ==> I either enjoyed killing it or hate it for killing me ==> I enjoy blowing up tanks

Not really since his kills in the Stuka were a result of his gunner and he may have also scored a few of his 9 kills in the FW 190F-8 which he also flew.
