Arlo,

Nothing in that painting is a variant of an existing unit in AH.

A Japanese carrier is a variant of an existing unit in AH and a somewhat sought after target.

A Japanese task group?  :headscratch: They were wooden so if they were added, they'll require less tonnage to sink (8,000lb?) for gameplay purposes, but have more ships in the group to balance things out. You could go on ahead and have a British Task group that had a metal flight deck which will require more tonnage to sink (15,000lb?) but with less ships.

Japanese fleet carriers were just as tough and armored as ours were.  The British carriers with concrete decks were tougher against bombs, but they also carried about half the number of aircraft that a US or Japanese carrier did.

Not really.  A variant of an existing unit implies the ability to reuse some of the artwork.  A Japanese task force, while being very nice to have, would be entirely new artwork.

Having different country task forces would be a great addition to senarios and FSO! or even adding an escort carrier into the mix.

Artwork is skinning, shaping is physical modeling, performance is behavioral modeling and ordinance/weapons is collateral modeling. You said a variant of an existing unit. A carrier is an existing unit. I would like to see a variant of a carrier that is not an Essex class. Preferably something along the Shokaku class. I'm inclined to think players that are fans of Japanese carrier based aircraft might be similarly inclined (as would be Allied pacific pilots who may like to sink something other than a 'Japanese Essex', as well). *ShruG* Was this a serious inquiry?  :D

A6M2-N floatplane variant of the Zero. Let it up from anywhere a PT can, i.e. ports, ocean spawn points and fleets even after the CV is down.

I cant believe anyone has yet to wish for a proper Brewster Buffalo!!!   :headscratch:

ANY of the early war Brewster variants needs to be added.  Having the race car version of the Brewster (B-239) currently in AH represent Allied air power in the south Pacific is like having the La5 represent the PZL P.11 during the invasion of Poland.

Swapping out some weight, engine torque/HP, and some gun options cant be all that time consuming in comparison.  There are no changes in the frame or wings or anything, just the weight, engine, and guns.

Ju87-G with the 37mm gondies and a earlier model B17 with a radio room gun and no chin turret.
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.
