I'm curious to what you were reading/viewing to even remotely approach your claims?   While I admire some of the picks you chose, I'm just trying to shed some truth on "claims".   

But, but wiki is always right!!!

name one place on the net that is never wrong?  all the stuff out there is placed according to whoever wrote the stuff and his own bias and some of it is only based on a true story.  dont just disregard stuff just because its on this website or pretend its true because its on that one.  if your own contribution is just to complain that its on wikipedia or any other source, without actually proving it wrong, then why bloat the thread.  remember you can have two different books contradicting each other and yet they can both be right.  what actually is considered "combat action" is elusive,  there's lots of pilots that will tell you that they saw action over germany when not a single bullet was fired in anger at them.  are they telling the truth when they say they saw action?  some say yes, some say no.  some sources will say that a plane saw action if it upped and did a circle around the base and landed when some enemy planes were in sight, some other will look at the same and say that plane never saw action.  how is written and worded is based on whoever wrote the book.  so if he has a book that says that plane saw action and u have another that says that plane never saw action.  u could actually both be right.

what about the other aircraft in my list? the Fulmar for instance. that saw lots of action protecting the suply convoys. plus my other idea, the folding wings on naval aircraft and making the carriers wider.

Folding wings wouldn't add anything to the game. It might look neat, but we don't have friendly collisions so it's not like you need to fold your wings to fit more planes on deck, and aircraft all spawn in position for takeoff, and we don't have crewmen to spot aircraft (pilots didn't spot themselves by backing up like we do on the game, the aircraft were positioned by the carrier's flight crew).

There's other things of far, FAR more importance that are needed than that what would be purely an aesthetic detail.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

The highest priority would be the Ki-45, followed by the Beaufighter. The Fullmar wouldn't be a bad addition, but I don't know that there's many glaring gaps that it fills in the Mains or special events. The same with the Fw-200: it wouldn't add much to either the Mains or special events.

But still you know, I think the Condor should be added along with its missle,  It would be a good anti ship plane. The reason i wanted the Fulmar is becuase that there arnt that many brit naval aircraft in the game for one and two people were complain there arnt that many EW aircraft in the game.
