Lots of very old development shots there.

The US carrier and the float equipped Wildcat will never see the light of day owing to the NG settlement. End of story there.

Personally I'm more interested in the IJN ships, though the Yamato was a weak choice in terms of use as it was a bit player in the war. Also the Ki10, the Sonia and Lily would be great to have.

A generic IJN cruiser for Guadalcanal scenarios, please. And the H6K Mavis flying boat - what a juicy target!

Fully agree.

The Japanese were the foremost users of cruisers in the Pacific. Or perhaps I should say the best tactical deployers of them, especially early in the war.

A Takao class heavy cruiser and a Kongo class battleship would make the IJN's "fleet" in IL2 a lot more realistic.

A read-me would probably indicate that the patch would be out in a few days after that.

It's my birthday next week...maybe it'll be out by then

Unfortunately, Ubi did not have a historian in their legal team. NG does not have a right to prevent a WWII from being modeled. ALL US Navy vessels designed prior to 1966 were designed by the US Navy Bureau of Ships, a government institution. All the shipyard did was contract to build per US government designs. The naming of such vessels was by the Navy.

NG has absolutely '0' in the way of intellectual property in the vessel. Someone should have called the bluff.

Even calling their bluff would have cost many thousands of dollars in legal fees, which a small development studio like Maddox Games simply cannot afford, and a publisher like UBI or 1C will not tolerate on a small sales title like a flight sim.
