As per manual:

Naval Air — Navigation and targeting of naval assets at sea or in a port

Since fighters have sunk a lot of ships during the Pacific war, I was wondering if it would be possible to add some naval air values for Fighter Bombers starting 1943 advancement level?

Something like:
1943 - 1 naval air point
1944 - 2 naval air points
1945 - 3 naval air points

Fighter Bombers only.

And, for Allies only, replace "Kamikaze" with something like "Dive Bomber" with a bonus like "2x naval-air" for example.

Perhaps "2x naval air" is a bit too strong by the way... Alvaro, I am sure you will find out. [:)]

I agree with a 1943 buff but I would like to see the range improved to simulate the use of drop tanks by P-47s and 4FUs. In game, I found the Fighter Bomber to be effective early on but not worth the cost of research late in the game.

The balance in the air is also about sorties.

A stuka can fly a lot of times being close to the battle field.
A P-47 with drop tanks going long distance can't fly as many sorties. Sitting in that cockpit is tiresome for the pilot.

But mostly it is for game balance.

fighter bombers can bomb and intercept.

But I will think about it.

No I will not give 2x dive bomber to the USA lol.
