You are forgeting that after the original IL2 add ons like "Forgoten Battles" and "Pacific fighters" where brought out. And Pacific fighters had and has still very many gaps that it still can be called a "beta"-version.
As to missing Japanese planes, well for Burma missions we have not a single Japanese bomber for the IJA, only stock Japanese bombers that are flyable are the G4M1 and the Aichi Val both are IJN or navy planes, and the Japanese navy and the Japanese army kept to themselves they did not really mingle.
Also British ships as place holders for famous US ships is pretty poor.
Also the Japanese navy had more than aircraft carriers and a few destroyers in their navy too.
