Could it still be added under a fictitious name (and minor shape changes, only if necessary due to copyright) if most wouldn't bother?

Not gonna happen, and besides, that's very tacky. We don't need a repeat of what Ubisoft did to the Allied aircraft in SH4 and SH5.

Its not even sure, that this would pretend us from any problems, thus we won't try it anyway.

ok, thanks for the heads up

I suggested this in the other thread about it... but couldn't a F4U-1 default skin for USMC/USN be added to the Corsair I without incurring any wrath. It'd be like updating any other skins to the game.

One option is that you can keep calling it the Corsair Mk I, but assign it in the game for USA rather than GB. Since the USN/USMC F4U-1 and the Fleet Air Arm Corsair Mk I were identical aircraft unlike later variants of the plane and the fact that the Corsair Mk I was never used in combat like the F4U-1 was this would make sense.

We can't change the name nor can we change the default affiliation. That would be seen as "new version" and would result in NG holding its greedy corporate hand open again.
