i would really like to see the helldiver added. 2x 20mm with 400 rounds per gun would be very fun to play with. not to mention 3000lb bomb load: 2x 1000lb in bomb-bay and 2x 500lb on wing mounts and 8x rockets + could carry a torpedo (and i would believe that we would be able to carry a torp and 2x 500lb bombs which would make a very versatile sortie).

It's the perfect humiliation kill.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

I'd definitely like to see the SB2C, but I'd even more desire these:

Yak 1 (For Eastern Front)
D4Y (Most-produced Japanese dive bomber, taking over for early-war D3A)
B6N (Most-produced Japanese torpedo bomber, taking over for the early-war B5N)
Pe-2 (Most-produced Soviet attack plane other than Il-2, for Eastern Front)
TBD (not as highly produced as TBM, but important for Battle of Coral Sea)

Other ones that were on my desired list for special events have already been added (Thanks, HTC!  :aok ):

B-25
P-39
He 111
Ki-43
Betty

And the Yak-7B is a nice addition.

The first version had a lot of problems, and even after those problems were fixed, the SB2C was a hard plane to handle (not very stable) and so was not popular, at least until there was a lot of familiarity with it later in the war.  The SBD handled much better and was more beloved.  But the SB2C had a higher top speed and carried more ord.

Regardless, it was used a lot in the PTO and so would be a good addition eventually to AH.
