B-32 Dominator
« on: March 08, 2013, 10:31:38 PM »
I don't remember hearing of this plane before just now.  Would it qualify for consideration?

A wish is a wish, but I think this is about #121 on HTC's list of aircraft to model.   ;)  I does qualify thanks to being used in squadron strength and it certainly did see combat both as a recon plane and as a bomber, but the impact it had and #'s produced will let it be left on the far back burner.  It fills no gap in the plane set.

It was the backup plane ordered in case the B-29 didn't succeed.  The B-29 succeeded and the B-32 became a footnote.  There is no reason for HTC to spend the effort needed to create a plane of that size that was only a footnote.

I think that in Aces High it takes the same amount of resources to produce a B-29 as a Jeep.
