Can you maybe do one for each of these beauties? (CA-C, CA-B and CA-2D in order). Suggested names: Las Vegas, Buffalo (as in World of Warships) and maybe Puerto Rico or similar for CA-2D which was an Alaska class preliminary design.

I was looking up Japanese aircraft and saw some on Military Factory website.
Kawanishi H11 Soku "Blue Sky" - 1 wood model/prototype built before destroyed in US bombing. Larger than HK8 'Emily' Aichi S1A Denko "Bolt of Lightening" - High Altitude Fighter Kawanishi J6K Jinpu "Squall" - Was supposed to be successor to the N1K1 'George'
I'm really a fan of fantasy stuff but I feel like someone here would like them. I suggest the F1M2 'Pete' it would be similar to SWO_Daddy's Walrus and Kingfisher cards or the recent Ar 196 card. As for ships. I don't know. Are there any light/escort carriers left? Maybe an Operational version of a fleet carrier. I would be more interested in more destroyers.
USA
Can we have another Essex? USS Yorktown/Bon Homme Richard CV 10, Another Baltimore or Cleveland Class cruiser. Since I can't convince the SeaGods for an ammunition supply ship (USS Mount Hood AE-11 is one notable one). Maybe you and SWO could come up with something. More Destroyers.
PB2Y Coronado - Not sure if a card has been done for this one. But I once read a 3 part article about them in a world war two magazine. These float planes would engage and destroy G4M Betty bombers while on patrols. Now that would be a cool SA to tack on a card.
UK
Pretty much anything
Canada
HMCS Sioux - I have a church member that served on her for 4.5 years as an electrician. Joined the RCN 1954. I would love to have a card (I buy two) just so I can give him it, along with a miniature of the ship.

Did I mention destroyers?
Erwin Rommel - "Give me American supply lines, British planes, German officers and Canadian troops, and I can take over the world".

Did i talk you into doing a bomber only me109T brigs?
No... did people want one? I figured there are other German aircraft I could do if people wanted a German plane. On my scratch list, I have...
JU-388 "Störtebeker" Bomber-P GER ala Black Widow JU-188E2 Bomber-P GER Patrol Bomber Torpedoes HS 129 Bomber-P GER Heavy Strafer He 219 "Uhu" Fighter GER Night Fighter
AFAIK, between SWO and I we've done anything with a flight deck worth doing for the IJN. I have done a few DDs in this deck; there are always more. The trick is making them interesting/useful enough to see play, without just duping existing cards OR making them OP.
Re: The USA... I hadn't planned to do another Essex, as I thought we'd scratched that itch pretty well in our past decks. Let me take a look at Mount Hood AF-11... I know I had a request for a sub that I was working on.
I'll look at the HMCS Sioux. I get the feeling... call me crazy... that you like DDs.
Just a note, I have a lot of units on my "scratch list"... the trick is making interesting cards. For example, if you look at some of the IJN patrol bombers on my list, many of them are very close to a Betty, and why make another one of those... unless I could make it different/exciting. WITHOUT obsoleting the Betty (which doesn't see enough play as is).
