Mostly maps. I know the wonderful Slot map is coming. A good start as it is a beautiful map. I'm sure you are aware of the NGNB map that is in process. Another beautiful piece of work. Hopefully it too will make some future official release.
Another suggestion is a map of operations in China. An almost totally forgotten battle. It would fill a huge gap in combat simulation.
I will only suggest two aircraft for the Allies and the Imperial Japanese. All of which present no corporate issues.
Curtiss P40 N Warhawk. The highest performing, most produced version of the Hawk 87 series. It was widely used throughout the Pacific/CBI areas of operation.
Curtiss Helldiver. Though much maligned early on, it became a workhorse of the USN.
Nakajima Ki44 Shoki. Seen thoughout the Western areas and in China. A bit of variety for the middle war period.
Mitsubishi Ki51 "Sonia". A very widely used single engne, fixed gear, Army two seat attack aircraft. Seen anywhere the Imperial Army operated. Would give the IJA a much needed attack type.
Just some thoughts.
Thanks for all your hard work.

a flyable D4Y2 would be my favorite , that the japanese Navy would get a little bit more punch (AFAIK able to carry a 500kg bomb....) in the 1944 marianes campaign launched from carriers
the Heldiver would be a locigal AdOn, so both Navies would have the early war Divebomber and the late war divebomber as flyable - but actually not soo much needed as the USN has their heavy loaded fighterbombers available
as the Avenger will never be flyable
, the japanese B5N&B6N also should stay AI - unfortunatly
my late war favorite would be a flyable Ki-67 bomber, usefull for Okinawa, Kyushu and Manchirua maps
