 This list isn`t complete w/o the F4F or an even better choice would be the FM-2.

 Then add the KI-61 and we could run a New Guinea scenario in the SEA.

Yep... FM2 or -3 wildcat.  They both perform about the same.   No carrier sim is worthy of the name without em.

How big was the chance to find the Chog on a carrier in woII. (200 build) hmmmm weren't they send for landbased operations.

Could have been on service for only a trial period is my guess.

You don't really need dive bombers.  The Corsair and Hellcat have enough bombs for that use.  I am sure this is why there are no dive bombers.

Untill we get an early war planeset the dive bombers are probably going to have to wait.

Ju 87D is worth doing because it can carry a 4,000lb bombload.

Bug,

I more than anyone would like to see the CHOG made a perk plane, and feel its addition to the game was a mistake and blatant "look what we have that WB doesn't"-ism.

However, the CHOG WAS carrier based in combat..not land-based.

And while it wasn't in combat for very long, the 200 CHogs built were in intense combat around Okinawa for several months, with quite a few kills of Japanese AC.
