Spoiler : :
-F-16 with HE Bombs
-F-16 A2A load out
-F-16 with Mavericks
-Mobile spawn ships, like an LPD that launches LCACs that are preloaded through your deck settings
-I don't know how hard this would be to implement
-this goes for other ships as well, the ability to launch helicopters
-and that brings me to LHDs to launch primarily marine airborne troops, in maybe CH-53s, or CH-46s
-land based anti-ship missiles to counter ships such as the harpoon

Don't think it will be in because it may be too big
But maybe it will because the Kidd/Spruance's are only a little smaller (length wise)
Maybe it could be the "interesting unit" for America in RD

-More GBU armed planes
-JDAMs, maybe only as FIRE POSITION
-this maybe open the possibility of planes with more than 1 GBU
-TV guided bombs, (to balance aircraft with 1+ guided bombs (they would be guided), to make up for the fact its guided and may miss ALOT, give it plenty of HE power)
