I did look.

Out of that list, I could agree with:
J2M Raiden Jack quick buff interceptor for Japanese planeset.
Petlyakov Pe 2 medium bomber compliment to the IL-2 for Russian planeset

As, to the best of my knowledge, we've received only nine (9) new aircraft since June 2004 version 2.0 release (37 months), so with additional planes coming so few and far between, I quickly reject certain types of aircraft out of hand:

I totally disregard all the calls for all unarmed recon planes, seaplanes, and flying boats.  It's an air combat game, and the game does not include the types of supporting roles and missions these planes would be good at.
As there is no nighttime in the online arenas (nor on-board radar scopes, or ground controllers directing us to target and proper altitude to engage), I also reject calls for night fighters (they would be unable to compete with most daylight fighters in the game as well performance wise).  

There are far more interesting planes to be added to a WWII air combat game.  


The Pe-8?  Less than 100 made, many used as transports instead of bombers.  Soviets did not get into strategic bombing in a big way until after WWII.

Any Japanese medium bomber added to the game would be even less capable than the Ki-67 we have now, and few of us use the Flying Dragon/"Peggy" as it is (my favorite for killing CV's).  Pretty sure HTC would avoid the Betty anyways to keep from opening the can of worms on the Betty escort variant.

Torpedo bombers are not all that effective in this game.  Proper torpedo attacks are supposed to be made as a group, and there is a lot of individual play in the game.  If adding anything to the Blue Water Navy to carry ord in the game, my suggestion would be the  Yokosuka D4Y Suisei "Judy" dive bomber.  It has the speed to make it a little competitive in the MW and LW arenas to deliver eggs, unlike the Kate and Val for the most part.

French aircraft?  Have to add a whole category to the plane sets, on the Allied side, and we can't get additions made to the very thin Axis plane sets as things stand now.  Fill out the Japanese and Italian sets and give the Germans another bomber first before adding French planes.  

Early war planes?  As most players spend their time in the two LW arenas, and new additions are so few, it's hard to spend limited development resources on EW niche planes when trying to expand game content to attract and keep your player base paying the monthly fee.  
I'd like to see an update where we got 3 or 4 EW fighters in a "fighter pack" release, I-16, Buffalo, two others...., but I don't see that ever happening.


So, those are my personal reasons for discounting much of your list.  If we suddenly saw a "surge" in plane additions, or an expansion of missions in the game, I'd certainly revise my opinions.
