It depends on the exact wording of the consent decree, but I'm guessing that Vought aircraft are officially off-limits. That would explain the lack of improvements to the Corsair series over the years.

That means that, for American catapult-launched float planes, our only options are the horrible Curtiss SO3C Sea Mew or the reliable, if obsolescent, Curtiss SOC Seagull.

You are most likely right.

well, a US floatplane would be nice. But luckely it's not at the top o my wishlist, the Blenheim, Wellington, Swordfish, SeaHurricane and the D.520 are.

I'm also looking forward to the MDR-2 and the BoB-era Spitfire.

A flyable Blenheim is at the top of my list since it fills the most "holes" - early war, British bomber, widely-produced, used on all fronts, used in multiple roles, used by several Air Forces other than the RAF, historically important role in multiple aerial campaigns.

I can only agree with you! It would fill the gap of an Winter War and early Continuation War bomber for the Finns, something very dear to my heart.
And besides I've always found the long nosed version to be a very good looking aircraft hehe

A flyable, Heinkel He 115 would be a cool addition for a future update.

Personally, I would absolutely love to see a minor revamp to the existing classic DGen campaigns to make them take advantage of some of the newer additions we have had.

It would also be fantastic if the classic DGen grand campaigns could be upgraded with more units and detail populating airfields and stuff as they feel a bit bare-bones now that they have aged.
