The USAAC didn't need no stinking torpedo planes, they had B17's who were more than capable of sinking any ship on the planet in a single strike, from 30,000 ft.
I initially wanted this, but it was expensive for a budget of $5m combat aircraft in purchases out of the $80M military budget in 1936. 1 $200,000 B17 vs 10 $20,000 Torpedo bombers for the same price. For the budget of 60 Torpedo Bombers I will have 6 B17s.
Even ATL wanked Philippines dont have $1.1B in budget to play like USA in 1936. During war maybe once the Philippines is spending 40-50% GDP for military on fight for survival. But peace time 1936, Philippine legislature wont approve that.
