Herman probably didn't bother fully developing / putting one in to service because of the brave young men that Dog refers to.
Even a twin engine bomber can do a lot of damage. I have mentioned it here before, Mother In Law was skiving off junior school when a German bomber went over and dropped a bomb on her parents house in broad daylight. They luckily survived because her and her brother were playing in the garden.
On another occasion they were strafed whilst playing on a local hill. Both were lucky to have survived with just cuts and bruises.
