Yeah, they were in the fight more so than the unryus.
Do really need a 7th leander though? It can swap for supurbe easy enough. Just seems a bloated class given how few the latger town/,crown colony classes have. Or the late but in service swiftsure/supurb which arent repped at all
We could subsitute the C-Class for another light cruiser.
My personal concerns with the list as is are Australia: destroyer escort and auxilary. Overlapping niches France: small allotment UK: duplicated lend lease aircraft Germany: me109G, naval related how? And super fighter yuk. Small allotment Italy: no significant ships in size Japan: small allotment, otherwise well rounded Romania: gorgon is too slow for an objevtive siezure role without deployment SAs
There are only 61 nominated slots at present as i didnt include fraction when i set the exercise up.
Id suggest adding 1 additional slot each to france, german, italy and japan at this point.
I kinda lost track with this thread after my original post. Mainly because I was reluctant until we knew the full list of units in the current deck. In Sedna, the US got the best balance in my view. They don't need aircraft and so only got one with the redone P38. This allowed a full coverage of all other areas. On the flip side IJN still have plenty of aircraft types, so going forward they would be the one I'd push in that area. For the UK I'd say no more than two aircraft(I'd be happy with one). A cheap early war Anson would be good. This would allow more coverage of other areas. The US has a lot of ship choices left but in more uniformed and less in number classes. The UK/Comm has many classes/sub classes, some key, not yet represented. I remember a few decks back talk about aircraft heavy slots. You could even say that about capital ship slots in some navies but some might want them whatever. For example the US could do without either a BB/F Carrier. A revised Op. Hornet is the one obvious IMO. Similar UK, I would push for an escort carrier in addition to the gap that is a CAM ship. I'm very much for filling the smaller historical classes in now.

I'll look through my magazines and books. But I'll see what other aircraft UK can have other than Lend-Leased
They were building them. Also using them as part of bomber command and for maritime patrol. Itd be a non tallboy version i reckon.
Its bold so up for discussion
We flew them domestically for our own coastal command during the war, as well. Plus, we flew them in war time.
The lanc was so versatile and did so many different things on the nautical side that we can make this version completely different from the existing one. It'd be great to have all its capabilities covered

Never knew we used them for Coastal Command. I support a Canadian Avro Lancaster
