I very much agree. I would love to see more Japanese aircraft. Your list is great, and in a good order. The top three on your list plus the Ki-84Ib would rock for the MA some and the special events a bunch.
My top three would be these:

Ki-43 "Oscar" 5919 built
G4M "Betty" 2446 built
D4Y "Judy" 2038 built

But if we got the Ki-45 "Nick" everyone would be extremely confused because everyone calls the N1k a "nick" what are we supposed to call the actual "Nick"?

my guess you will hear "KI-45" since i never hear anyone call a KI-84 a Frank or the KI-61 a Tony except for my squad mates.

Ki-44 would be my pick.

Potential variants for early, mid and late war arenas, a lot of different gun options, and finally a japanese energy fighter for early and mid-war arenas.

G3M Nell was a prominent Japanese bomber for the first year of the war, and one the AVG also ran into many times. I'd like to see it as an early war addition (albeit more of a "that's a cool addition" rather than a vital hole-filler like the G4M Betty)

Basically the Russian, Italy, France, Japan and any other country that i have not mention dose need to fill the gap.  need to back off on U.S, British and Germany for a while.

It would be nice to get some of the Japanese aircraft that were produced in significant numbers.  As much as we see posts about the H8K2 or B7A2 and such, only slightly more than 100 of each of those were built.  Lets take a look at some of the Japanese combat aircraft that were built in high numbers, but have yet to be added to AH.

Ki-43 "Oscar" 5919 built
G4M "Betty" 2446 built
Ki-21 "Sally" 2064 built
D4Y "Judy" 2038 built
Ki-48 "Lily" 1997 built
Ki-46 "Dinah" 1746 built
Ki-45 "Nick" 1701 built
Ki-27 "Nate" 1329 built
B6N "Jill" 1268 built
Ki-44 "Tojo" 1225 built
P1Y1 "Frances" 1098 built
G3M "Nell" 1048 built
N1K1-J "George" 1007 built

It would be nice to see some of these aircraft added so as to flesh out the Japanese planeset and eliminate the need for so many harsh and inappropriate substitutions.

  The Jill,Judy,Betty and Oscar would be a great start.  It would cover late war CV action as well as early IJAAF.

Add the A6M3 in there. Right now we don't have a true mid-war Zero. Heck, you could fill out about half a dozen A6Ms, and probably about as many Oscars, just with different gun packages.
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.

Actually we need that whole list, and have needed it for 5 or 6 years now.

But as noted above, Oscar, Betty, Jill, Judy should be the next for planes.
Followed by ki-44, ki-45, ki-46 and probably ki-21 and ki-48. I need to go do some research on both Lily and Sally.

Actually the area the AVG operated was primarily an IJAAF area of operation and responsibility. They saw very little if any combat against IJN aircraft like the G3M or G4M.
Their bomber intercepts consisted mainly of IJAAF Ki-21 Sallys and Ki-48 Lilys. That being said I'm with you for the addition of aircraft like the G3M.  :aok
