B-25H could use waist gunner graphics, the J model has them - Fearfactor - 16.07.2008

The B-25H has the same exact waist gunners positions as the J model, so I think it would be easy for someone to mod that using the same graphics as the B-25J. Should be easy for someone who knows how to do this stuff. Now the H has only the rear gunner and the top turret modeled, you can't pull up the waist gunner positions.

its takes time to make mods so i sorta dont think it will be out for a while if it happens

anyway do u really need gunners there AI anyway

No, I'm afraid you don't understand. The B-25J ( which is an original flyable bomber for a long time ) has on both sides of the aircraft waist gunner positions that you can go to and man yourself, they can be either AI or manned by the player. The guns move and shoot just like the ones in the tail position and the top turret. Since these gunner positions exist for the B-25J, they should be easy to implement for the B-25H, which is a mod plane. It has the two positions there but you can't get to them since whoever modded it did not take the time to allow for these postions.

The graphics already exist so one does not need to create new graphics for these waist gunner positions. If you don't believe me, go and start up you game and pull up the B-25J bomber and see if you can't go to the waist gunner positons. You will be able to, believe me.

Think about it, whoever made the mods so you could fly the B-25H did not make new graphics for the tail gunner and top turret. Why would they when they were already made for the B-25J?? And that's exactly what they did. Do you understand now or do I have to elaborate even further?

It's not "there AI anyway" it's "they're AI anyway. Sorry to correct your grammer but I do that sort of thing. And yes, lots of us like to man defensive gunner postions. If you rely on AI to shoot down enemy planes tailing you, you get shot down more often than not. If one mans one of the positions himself, he can shoot a lot better than the AI usually. I often allow the AI to fly the plane for a while if I'm attacked, since I am a far better marksman than the AI gunners.

If he's going to correct eveyones grammar on here he's got his work cut out! Big Grin

Fearfactor is correct, the B-25H waist positions were identical to those on the B-25J. I think the majority of B-25G's had these waist positions as well as the tail stinger design of the H and J installed as field modifications.

- RAF_Leigh - 18.07.2008

its not the point though

its takes time to make mods

they didnt put waist gunners in to save time so we can get it

do u understand fearfactor

im not here to fight

and im not here to say people are wrongs

but read first

- JudgeMingus - 18.07.2008

RAF_Leigh - FearFactor was correct that it should be they're, not there

BUT

FearFactor - the spelling is grammar!

Tongue

Please feel free to ignore my linguistic pedantry and return to the actual topic...

Thanks for the request but please respect that mods do NOT come from the modding tree. :roll:

- Slow - 19.07.2008

I sense a covert argument.

Anyway, it'll come once, I hope for you.

Alert the media! Call out the National Guard! Have the FBI, the BATFE, Federal Marshalls and the Local and State police surround my house immediately!! I corrected someone's grammar!! Oh my God!!

You guys act like I'm a child-molester/murderer because I did that. A huge over-reaction I'd say.
