Since AH2 is likely to have subs in it, a flying boat would be a good idea for anti-shipping/patrol. Arm them with gunner positions, depthcharges, bombs, or torps, and go off looking for a sub or CV! It should be made so they can only fly from coastal airfields and maybe ports. I would really love to see the PBY Catalina or that nightbomber flying boat (forgot the name).
One can dream...
