Greebo's list gets the <3, also the P61.  OP poll, voted for the 55.

One other that'd be great for dealing with those 5" gunners in the CV battlegroups -

The Ohka would also require a new Betty bomber model to act as the mothership.

Its not as though the game really needs another way of killing ships anyway, we already have level bombers, torpedo bombers, jabos, shore batteries, ship's guns and PT boats. Besides any heavy bomber would do a better job of killing ships, you might even be able to do more damage/time with three or four jabo runs than one slow vulnerable Betty/Ohka formation. The only way the Ohka would have a role would be if the game were re-jigged to make level bombers as ineffective against ships at sea as they were in RL.

Personally, I do wish CVs were a little harder to kill in terms of damage. b26s and Tu-2s are tough to take down and catch when they have a little alt. Downing the CV to quickly can depress fights and action, when they are some of the most fun. I wouldn't want more ack though.

I'd like the battleship introduced as the fleet flagship and made much tougher than the CV, say 24K of bombs as opposed to 8K to sink it. So if bombers take out the CV it then makes for an exciting race between attackers trying to kill the battleship and any remaining CAP and defenders trying to stay alive and protect the flagship until the CV respawns.
