War Thunder B-25-J20 Tier 3 Bomber

The B-25-J20 is the Tier 3 American Bomber. Coming right before the B-17, most bomber pilots will have to end up using this plane. While it was historically great and all, this plane really just isn't that good. The few cons were decent bomb load and terrible turn time. The turn time can be excused by saying that this thing is a bomber and isn't made for turning In War Thunder, this aircraft can only carry up to 3 x 1000 lb bombs. So only a 3000 lb bomb load. The Japanese H6K4 has more than this and it is a Tier 1! I do have to say that you can easily climb to altitude with no problem and base-rush. If you are going to base rush, just realize that you are going to want to climb as high as you can before it is time for you to drop your bombs. Some maps spawn fighters really high and climbing is your best option. Also, if your going to rush, I suggest that you squad or Skype a friend With a not-so-great bomb load, having some friends play with you can be very necessary. I find it hard to base-rush in medium bombers unless you have someone willing to bomb with you or you have a fighter escort pilot. Have a friend dedicated to escorting can ensure that you will stay up longer and have more time to bomb. One very funny thing about this plane is that it has 6 mounted 12.7 mm machine guns in or near the nose. You can use this plane as an attacker or use those guns to shoot down other bombers! The guns make this plane feel more like a fun attacker than an actual bomber. It also has five turrets for defense. Two guns on the back, a turret on top with two guns, and a few turrets in the nose. As you can see, this plane has light defensive armament. Upgrade your crew and you will be getting a number of aircraft kills though! I always seem to get 1 to 3 kills in this bomber by just flying low. If your crew isn't upgraded, their accuracy will be so bad and the reload time will take forever! Those are just a few things to keep in mind. Historically, this plane was known for its bomber runs on Japan after the attack on Pearl Harbor. A whole squadron of these things would wreck! They took off from carriers and flew to Japan. In War Thunder, they give you tail hooks and you can land or take off from carriers! Seems really cool that they actually added that! One other thing that is important to know is that the max altitude was 7500 meters or 25,000 ft. Not that bad considering that it is a medium bomber and doesn't have amazing power. In Realistic battles, make sure not to go above 600 km/h or you will rip your wings. Also, don't mess with your flaps while going fast! Overall, this plane is really fun and is awesome to fly around in. I think Gaijin did a good job of making a good flight model and making this aircraft as historically accurate as they could
