The Avenger is a single engine, carrier capable, US Naval Torpedo bomber that was also used by some of the US Naval Infantry air infantry air units plus sent out as Lend Lease aid to many countries.[:D]
The B26B is a twin engine land based bomber known as the Marauder. Four Marauders did carry torpedoes and use them at Midway but not one of them stuck a target
and exploded. Since the B25 had a slightly longer range, the B26 was then used in the ETO being replaced by the B25 among other bombers.[:D]
You AFBs are super spoiled.[:'(] The B26 is a great bomber...compared to what Japan gets. The Avenger is a solid improvement over the current CV torpedo plane with generous monthly replacement rate.
A "," would have helped and the ", and" combination would have been better.
The Japanese Army and Navy both have or will get 2E bombers that can either carry a torpedo from a level 2 airfield or a full load of bombs on Low Nav from the same airfield. The Navy gets two such aircraft from the beginning while the Army has to wait for the Peggy T.
The Japanese can also increase their production of aircraft while the Allies can not plus the Japanese can get key aircraft sooner while the Allies can not.
The Japanese also receive flying boat transports that can carry a heavy load. They also get the Jake from the beginning and possibly better ones later on. The Japanese also get float fighters which can be based at a base with no airfield making them immune from damage from bombing and bombardments. They can also produce float torpedo bombers as well.
Seek peace but keep your gun handy.
