The CV in game is an Essex class carrier. The largest CV class to go into operation during WWII. So NO you wont see a bigger CV.

The B-25's of the famed Doolittle raid were highly modified for that ONE mission. So NO you wont see B-25's taking off from the CV's.

Escort Carriers might be interesting but not really needed. Also the aircraft flown from the smaller escort carriers were usually F4F / FM2 Wildcats used for fleet defense so the aircraft onboard would probably be limited to just a few planes.

In short not a well thought out wish and totaly unrealistic in nature.

Actually what about instead of one task force type, we would have three:

CV Battle Group - Consists of an Essex-class carrier, a cruiser, and destroyers as we have now. Would have the same aircraft as currently available, but NO LVTs or PT boats.

Bombardment Group - Consists of a battleship, cruiser and destroyers. LVTs can spawn from this task force.

Light Carrier Group - Consists of a CVL or CVE, with destroyers. Can spawn LVTs. Aircraft would include lighter CV fighters and bombers.

IMO I don't think any task force should spawn PTs. AFAIK, PTs weren't transported in this manner.

Ships in AH are long overdue for at least a graphics upgrade.  If and when HTC does it we at least should get a Japanese class carrier and task force.  If it would be possible to do a couple classes of ships, say Essex and Yorktown for US and Akagi and Hiryu for the Japanese, that would be fun.  Would greatly add to the immersion in PTO scenarios.  Plus it would just look damn cool.

My votes for the Shokaku and/or the Zuikaku if we would get a chance for a new CV. It's not bigger then the Essex(I don't think) and it won't lauch B-25's :lol, but it was a highly used IJN CV from 1941 untill 1944 when they were sunk.

Are the CV's to scale though?  I'd look into it, but I'm at work.
