How do you even measure what is “wasted”? You cannot. Not everyone will agree on what constitutes wasted development effort. If you don’t know, the content additions are planned at least one to two years in advance, and every vehicle is developed according to a set of priorities.
I found this aircraft particularly interesting and unique because of its Elco turret mounted on a turbo-supercharged Liberator airframe, and the majority of voters showed support. You’re free to disagree.
Of course, not every aircraft should be added. There are certainly examples that do not deserve inclusion. However, the game still has plenty of potential to make every tech tree more interesting and historically representative, keeping us immersed in the history of the operators that used these vehicles.
Again, this bomber is one of the aircraft that I believe deserves inclusion, whether as a foldered vehicle, a Battle Pass reward, a premium, or an event vehicle. We can agree to disagree.
