Come on guys, think ahead a bit here:
IT DOES NOT MATTER WHICH U.S. COMPANY MADE YOUR FAVOURITE PLANE/SHIP/VEHICLE AS THERE IS NOW LEGAL PRECEDENT.
This means any US firm that swallowed up any of the manufacturers of ships/aircraft/vehicles could now sue for the unauthorised modelling of "their" intellectual property, not just NG.
By folding on this issue, Ubi opened the door to all US companies that either built - or bought up a manufacturer - of any of these things to be a potential source of litigation.
As for the IJN/IJA side of the equation, I understood that the lack of flyable Kate and others, is more to do with a lack of verifiable data with regards to cockpits and instrumentation, tho there is a chance that the same legal issue might be a factor with the Japanese (ex)aero-industry companies.
