From what Im seeing it had a short and limited service. Would like to see other planes first. (On a side note, I hadnt heard of this plane before, so thanks for sharing!)

I'm sorry but i thought the B-32 was post 1945?

Nope. It was the USAAF's "fall back option" had the B-29 failed to do the job.
IIRC, first flight 1942 and "earmarked" as Operational in Jan 1945. But the 119 orders were soon cancelled and only sporadic "test flights" had them dropping ord. on Japan, from Clark on Luzon. After Okinawa was captured, they ran Photo Recon from Oki.

didn't know this. what was the major difference?
-
The B32 uses a similar design from that of the B29. Notably the wing, engine nacelle, and the tail configuration.
I vote no for this wish. HTC was kind enough to give us a plane poll, and from these results, the B29 was voted first pick. The B32 can see inclusion to the game at a later date. More planes are needed at the moment- especially the Russian and Axis EW and MW era planes.

I would love to see the B-32 over the B-29 on AH. However, vary limited action that it is not worth having it.

You are a bad man Larry :)

Larry would you rather have this or the German F-86 first?
-
This one?

-1 for intentions. By the way I agree with you Larry that there are countries who could be better represented. Yak-3, PE-2, TU-2, C.55, KI-43, KI-45, J2M2, you get the picture....

Even Glenn is crying after hearing the B-29 won.

It was a failure and plagued with the same mechanical issues as the B-29.

Someone put the engines on backwards on that B-36. If we ever got any post war bomber I would want this sexy mofo.
