B-25J

[DaveConn]

Can someone tell me the date that B-25J replacements start arriving? I had thought that the correct date was 12/01/42, at the rate of 50/month; but I am now a couple of days into 12/42, and none have arrived. Do I have the availability date wrong?

That is the date that Spooky has listed on his site but I think that is for version 1.10, not sure if it is different for 2.0-2.3.... But when you do get the B-25J's oh happy days!!! set the planes for 100ft vs. transport TF and watch the carnage begin!![:D]

Yes, that is the correct date. However, you sound like you are using varible reinforcements. There may be a delay-or they might come early. I have seen a fair amount of variation in my campaigns. I have sometimes gotten 6 or 7 Beaufighter replacements as early as October, but in one game did not see any until December. (but now get 20) You will most likely see your mitchells come next month-along with a mess of corsairs.

Thanks. It had never occurred to me that variable reinforcements affected when new types of aircraft begin to arrive. I'm not sure I have ever seen that happen before. As I look, however, I noticed that P-70s (which I think also normally start arriving in December) are also showing "0" as the reinforcement rate, so they may be delayed also.

Now, if only something would arrive EARLY!

Hi,

search doesn´t help much, so I decided to bring this old thread up again. When does the B-25J´s arrive? According to Spooky´s site it should start at Dec 1st 1942... but nothing happend so far... What´s wrong?

TIA




P.S.: The Boomerang which is also scheduled to appear in December 42 is in the list now indeed... but not so the B25J[:@]

update:

in fact the B25J replacements start to arrive at Jan 1st, 1943 and not in Dec. 1942 already as stated at Spookys.
