Different.... Dauntless was the Navy Divebomber....Wasnt the Dauntless a Torpedo Bomber or am I thinking of a different USN aircraft?
Yup, but this isnt best, this is favorite.... I like the look of those 2 cannon hangin under the wings, and the sound they make...I would have Voted for the Stuka but the IL 2 could do the same things but it was faster and better protected.

Jabberwocky said:Tempest doesn't have a radial engine. The Sabre was a 24 cylinder H-form engine. Visualize it as 2 horizontally opposed 12 cylinder engines (each with 6 cylinders on each side of the crankshafts) one above the other, with the crankshafts coupled together through gear reduction onto a common propeller shaft.
MacArther said:yes, and dont forget the optional 75mm, all this added up to a world of hurt for the people on the wrong side of the gun barrels.
P38 Pilot said:I voted for the B-25. Although the proper name is A-25. I like with the 75mm gun on including the pilot controllable 8 .50 calibers in the nose!
That could tear some ass....

You mean the B-26 Maurader or the B-25 Mittchel??? The Maurader was used more in ETO as a medium bomber. I was pointing out that the A-20 should also be considered just as good as the B-25 if they were basing it on the 75mm gun that it carried; since they both did.

Wow! It takes skill for a pilot in a medium bomber to shoot down 5 jap planes.read once that there is at least 1 B-25 pilot that is an ace by shooting down 5 Japanese aircraft in the air.
