Someone Posted the Japanese is represented by 5 aircraft, while true - Val, Kate and A6m2 all represent PRE-1942.

It would be nicer to fill in the mid-late war slots with B6N and Judy dive bomber, Anything beyond Mid 1943 is not represented and leaving a huge gap in the lineup for PTO (naval wise).

Sea Hurricane would be a great addition only when the Hurricane gets upgraded, Seafire Mk III however would not likely be added any time soon.

Fairey Firefly is something I wouldn't mind added, its really a late war naval aircraft, it showed up in late 1944 (funny thing is it was designed in 43) - however it did some raids on Java and Borneo.

I would rather have the Seahurri and Japanese B6N/Judy added before anything else right now.

Seahurri is almost a must, being it served in every major theater of operation, and scored kills.

The Sea Hurricane didn't serve in the PTO. It fought in the North Atlantic against the Luftwaffe and in the Med against the Luftwaffe and Regia Aeronautica. The only exception was Operation Ironclad - the invasion of Madagascar against the Vichy French. The Sea Hurricane served from mid 1941 until Mid 1943. I'd still love to see it in game though.

The last Seahurri IIC squad finished up in late 1944. Wildcats replaced them on HMS Nairana, September 1944.


 
also NO to the rockets, They only ever flew with solid shot rockets. Those are for subs and soft skinned ships.
