Default PBY Catalina

Or how about adding another aircraft that's sorely lacking from the game, the PBY Catalina flying boat? I mean they would omit for copyright reasons, but Consolidated aircraft has been out of business for years. Is there a way to make a mod for the PBY? I am requesting the PBY Catalina because it was a vital aircraft to the Pacific War effort and not the Avro Lancaster bomber aircraft, which would do better in Europe against Germany. It wasn't suited for ASW work. Copyright my a**! They could have done it. I don't think anyone would have sued them. Lockheed wouldn't give a crap if you put in a P-38 in a game because they don't make it anymore. Is this anti-Americanism on the part of the Romanians? I never trust some of those people. The syntax and grammar in the radio messages is so bad. Do you think they would have let somebody from high school or college in the military who types like that? I think not because they require high literacy skills. My original point. More aircraft need to be included. Is there a way to include the F-6F Hellcat or the P-51 Mustang in the game? Their inclusion would be extremely useful instead of the crap Brewster Buffalo aircraft which was all but phased out because of its poor performance. Has anyone thought of including them in Real Fleet Boat mod or Trigger Maru Overhaul? The additions would be wonderful. How about adding the B-29 Superfortress too while you're at it. This game needs more variety of American aircraft instead of the crappy stock planes. Then again, SH4 is not a flight sim. It's a sub sim. Their additions would still be wonderful along with the SB2C Helldiver dive bomber aircraft and the Douglas Dauntless. The Dauntless would make Midway level a lot more complete in my opinion along with adding Morse code sounds for every time you receive a radio message. Let's also eliminate present-day boundaries of Indonesia and Asia on the part of the designers to be "politically correct" as it were. I feel that they did this to be politically correct and it should stop. This political correctness gets in the way of a great game. We're here to do things as historically accurately possible, not bow to some Politically correct idiot who's more interested in appeasing some jack ass in Indonesia would send him a death threat over this game because of colonial sensibilites or patronization. There also needs to be more place names. In RFB, place names are sorely lacking. Half of the islands on the map aren't even labeled or spelled correctly. Do you think that somebody in the Navy would let a semi-literate person spell names like that? Hell no! He would have been fired as cartographer and rightly so. You don't let someone whose lives depend on those charts to make spelling mistakes because they could get someone killed. It also helps to know where one is, too. I have alot to say don't I? I'll condense down to my final point. SH4 needs more stuff to make it much better like the game we know and love. So, let's do this.
