I think it would require a little more than that. The C version was an improved B version as far as I know. It would require repositioning of the dorsal turret to the rear of the fuselage and the addition of a retractable, remotely operated ventral turret. The latter atleast for early C versions. Then the tail gunners position has to be removed and the tail remodelled.

However, since it was the moste widely used B-25 version used by the R.A.F. it would be very appropriate for the game. Especially considering the upcomming Channel maps.

Its doable, it already exists that way, just needs fm tweak and a revamped pilots cockpit, retractable turret can be ai only. But we need for pacific theatre B25 gunships on either C or D models. Once again already available as mods as well, including late D with waist guns and tail gun.
But for european definitely need early P-38G and P-47C, both would fit in nicely in pacific as well. And for the axis an early Fw190 variant. Spitfire Mk 1 and 2 as well. But no way we can have them all, i think there is a plane limit somewhere in the code etc, perhaps slot consolidation for spitfires by clipped wing as an armament would help??

I mean, there are two cockpits that could be taken from the J, the bombardier's and the top gunner. The ventral gunner would be used like in the Pe-2 or He-177 rear position, not just AI only.
