Not only would this difficulty option add more depth to the sim, but also provide a better overall performance outlook for some aircrafts which seem to have gain weight throughout the years without much noticeable improvement in engine, durability and firepower. Heavier radio equipment with its own communication performance would've justified the increased weight and add to the gameplay experience.
And then there's the carrier catapults. So far the only way to fly off a fully loaded Corsair from a CVL is by giving enough wind speed. CVEs are for the most part a worse option due to it not having catapult capabilty to compensate for its short deck.
I really hope these two suggestions would be featured in 4.14. Thank Team Daidalos for your support all these years.

We don't have any CVLs in the stock game. (And there is a reason no Corsairs ever operated from a CVL or CVE) Make sure your carrier is going full speed, or around 25 - 30 kts (45 - 55 kph). Also they need to be going into the wind.
I would also highly, highly recommend against Corsair operation from a CVE. CVEs, cant reach as high of speeds. Around 18 kts I believe is the max. (30 kph) . Stick with the FM-2.
Catapults would still be a good idea of course, and we have them in HSFX. (Which since your talking about CVLs, I assume your already using!
Ok, I am excited for the Ju-52 and Gooney Bird (C-47)!!!!
Maybe not the most exciting to fly a cargo plane, but opens up a whole new range of missions I can make. Also the flying boat is very cool. Time to go hunting for Kriegsmarine! Recon missions, are also,not the most exciting but necessary and as a mission builder, it gives me opportunity to build new and different missions!!!
Now for my wish list: (For some later patch)
Flyable TBD-1
Flyable Blenheim Mk I and/or Mk IV
New armament for SBD-3 and -5 ---- 1 x 500 and 2 x 100 pound bombs
New armament for B5N2 ----- 2 x 250 Kg bombs
1 x 250 Kg and 6 x 60 Kg bombs
1 x 800 Kg bomb
Japanese Cruisers!!!!
One day ... LOL
Cr-32
Ba. 65
Sm. 81
F1M1 Pete
A6M2-22
D3A2
Any of the Ki-bombers for IJA (Ki-48,Ki-49, Ki-51,etc.)
