This would have be an absolutely amazing plane to fly, in RL or in the game. It was quite possibly the finest WW2-era anti-shipping/strike aircraft that never saw combat (assuming that reliability and low altitude overheating problems with the Wright R-3350 Duplex-Cyclone got fixed). In test flights, it allegedly outran its P-51 escorts. In addition to sharing engines, I believe it also used the same remote-controlled turrets used for the B-29. Sadly, never it went beyond prototype stage, a classic case of the war moving faster than aircraft designers could keep up and need to prioritize limited resources.
