The Mustang we really need.

[Ack-Ack]

well technicly yes it is a bomber, but it can make an awesome buff blaster. '

and wouldnt the role of this new plane be filled already in game by the p38? the b24 is just a more extreme example of reduced maneuverability in exchange for massive ownage guns

Jeebus...why do you keep comparing the firepower of bombers against that of fighters?  There is no correlation between the two in terms of firepower, when you're comparing firepower of a fighter you need to compare it to another fighter.  For example, the firepower of a Bf 110C-4 is far more lethal than the firepower of a A6M5, or you can say the firepower of a P-38 is more lethal than the firepower of the P-51B, while only more lethal than the P-51D until the 20mm cannon rounds run out.  Those are valid comparisons of firepower.

And by the way...the B-24 doesn't have "massive ownage guns".

75 mm cannon vs lancaster. who wins?

[Spikes]

Any bomber is extremely vulnerable IMO...except for the 234...and even then for the average joe the only defense it has is it's speed.

[lyric1]

Wasn't this also part of the Project Rainbow testing, to give it a low observability coating?

Are we back on topic with the VLR pony's? Not sure any more with this thread.

yes the tail guns are not the best compwred to the package of fighters. but I really dont want to be looking down the barrels of a b 25 strafer's nose guns

Jeebus, are you serious?  Do you even have to ask what would happen to a plane that gets hit from a 75mm cannon round, let alone who would win in such a contest?

Seriously...what is your fetish with bombers vs fighters? They don't compare, or else they wouldn't be in two different categories. The 234 is probably the only 'exception' to the bomber/fighter category.

Now for the first time or maybe since I don't know when?? I can agree with you. Having said that what has the B25H has got to do with this thread? PS: EXCEPT FOR YOUR SPELLING.

you guys want planes that you have no need for since you can play those roles with other planes

[Spikes]

I don't want any planes. I'm content with whacking guys in my 234, I'm trying to figure out your issue with bombers vs fighters and trying to compare them as one role.

not bombers vs fighters. b25 strafer vs bomber destroyer

Again this has what to do with VLR Mustangs?

How could a B-25H or any other bomber make a suitable substitute for a P-51 as a long range escort?
