-332FG-Hank_DG Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 I was just wondering if anyone has found any squadrons in the new Bodenplatte career mode that do some escorting for the new AI B25s?
-332FG-Hank_DG Posted November 9, 2019 Author Posted November 9, 2019 Just now, J2_Trupobaw said: No.56 RAF for sure. I'm guessing only british squadrons do the b25 escorting?
J2_Trupobaw Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 Not sure. The B-25s I was flying with had description "B-25(RAF)" in their icons, so I suspect USAS version exists, too.
Ribbon Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 My first mission in career was in Spit escorting bombers, at least briefing said so cos i haven't seen single bomber during the mission. As soon we took off primary objective has shown as completed but flight leader continued checkpoints to objective where we downed few 109's and rtb. I will report this in bug section ? 1

For them it was the B-26, the A-20 and the A-26 that were used as tactical bombers. Not sure if that was what you were asking about. Or if the question was whether USAAF squadrons escort RAF B-25s. That I don't know either I've flown a No. 3 Squadron RAF Tempest mission escorting bombers. Edited November 9, 2019 by ShamrockOneFive

American squadrons can escort B-25s, yes. 1

Tony_Kito Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 On a sidenote, I recall someone mentioning some while back the possibility of A-20Bs being integrated with Bodenplatte to use in player careers. Though I was disappointed this was not the case, I still look forward to the B-25 collector plane and, God willing, an A-20G aswell

If you play a quick mision or a user made one you'll also see the same RAF label.

YuriAzrel Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 I just came back from a bomber escort mission escorting B-25 in the No.127 RAF, autumn offensive.
