How about that B-25?

I have seen little comment on the Mitchel, maybe it's time it has it's own thread? I can fully understand the hype going first towards the flyables, but the B25 deserves some love too! 

 

I think the 3D model looks just as excellent as the rest. Certainly a finished product - by that I mean, if and when it is developed into a flyable, there should be no more external work lacking. 

 

Being now only usable in QMB as a flying target, I wonder if it can do more than just fly straight and take punishment. Is it possible to put in into scripted missions and have it bomb ground targets?

I guess you've noticed that it does not show up as a kill when you bag one in QMB?

+1 for making b25 thread

We need it flyable as soon as possible!

Give some love to bombers ;)

No! Really? I am guessing it is not intended, hope the devs iron this out.

I wonder if it is possible to get more of them into a mission than a similarly sized flyable type.

You can select loadouts for it in QMB, so I guess it will be usable like any other AI plane - and hopefully a flyable plane not in a very distant future.

I love it. Honestly, it makes me crave some AI B17s and Lancasters to shoot down even more than before. 

 

Just watch out for those turrets.

man they are tough to attack. Its got neat little details like the retractable ball turret and the little escape hatch at the front when they bail out. I'm impressed with it.

I'd like to see it added as a random encounter in BoS as a target for the LW...

Interesting read.  Thanks for posting.  Used mostly as a night bomber but in scenarios that should be doable on Great Battles maps.  We can't fly it but it would make an interesting addition to a campaign as an opponent on the occasional fighter night mission.
