New CV aircraft

[CrosFire]

The F6F 5N and the SB2C Helldiver

F6F 5N-Another improvement in the F6F-5 was the availability of more potent armament than the standard six .50 in (12.7 mm) machine guns. Trials with cannon-armed Hellcats were not followed up by a production version; although all F6F-5s could carry an armament mix of a pair of 20 mm (.79 in) Hispano cannon, one mounted in each of the inboard gun bays, with a minimum of 220 rpg, along with two pairs of .50 in (12.7 mm) machine guns, with 400 rpg, this configuration was only used on many later F6F-5N night fighters.[17]

Yes cannon armed hellcats were not followed by a production version but since they could be used on all hellcats its an option.

Both of these aircraft aren't a must have but would be a good addition.

If the cannon-armed Hellcats saw combat before the armistices, then perk it the same as the F4U-C and go for it.  Even if they only shot down a few enemy A/C then I could see it justifiably added.

The SB2C would be a hangar queen, but if they get to it then it would be useful for scenarios.

I wish for a F6F wit cannunz and some bomber I forget why I want it.

it was a nightfighter configuration with the radar antenna carried on a wing and performance was not the same as the standard -3 or -5 models...the cannons required a different wing to accomodate the guns, mounts and ammo boxes. may as well add all the other night fighters too, but then you won't see night time in the main arenas so any perceived kewl factor would be useless.
