I voted for the Typhoon as it is the most obvious missing aircraft from the inventory, but I'd much rather get to fly a Spit XIVe, and if we were serious about the '46 part of the game's title, I'd really, really want an F8F Bearcat, but like the F4U-4, that will never happen.
Ki-44 Tojo would be my third choice.
The SB2C Helldiver seems like a good choice, but it was a vicious beast that was unpopular with the men who flew in them, especially the (enlisted) rear gunners, who all knew perfectly well that the war was already won and most of the missions they were flying weren't absolutely necessary. Apparently, nobody liked flying it. The last six months of the Pacific war, the Helldivers were either reduced in numbers or left off the carriers entirely when the Corsairs and Hellcats proved to be very nearly as effective in dive bombing and very useful in a kamikaze threat environment.
An accurate FM would make it one of the least-flown in Il-2.
