So, will the FM-2's performance be worked on for the next iteration?

No particular plans for this at the moment, and personally I think this shouldn't be done without correcting the opposition as well. Most Japanese planes lack their WEP performance, too.

Probably a good idea. Changes to the Wildcat would probably tip the balance until the Japanese types are sorted out as well.

Learning more and more... the whole Pacific side of things feels like it was rushed. The planes FM, certain details, armaments, etc. Don't get me wrong... they delivered quite a bit too.

Word on the street back in the day was that it was indeed rushed - and the NG issue kept PF from getting post release attention it still needed.
