Henschel's Hs 132 was a World War II dive bomber and interceptor aircraft of the German Luftwaffe that never saw service. The unique design featured a top-mounted jet engine and the pilot in a prone position. The Soviet Army occupied the factory just as the Hs 132 V1 was nearing flight testing, the V2 and V3 being 80% and 75% completed.

Okay so another 'what if.' There is so much already under development- aircraft that really flew, played a role in the war. And of course these folks do this for gratis, for the enjoyment of IL-2 and the community at large. I know from my time hear I have come to appreciate very much all that has been done, while not asking for superfluous items. Don't think the Hs 132 is that different or interesting to warrant my interest.
Now the He 100 might be interesting. But my understanding is that engine failure isn't modelled in the game With what's in the works like the Lancaster, and other great planes (see (The link is inoperative) for list) I myself find it difficult to ask for anything until some of what's in the pipeline comes to life.
Just an opinion.
