Now I better see where you're coming from. Well, the F6F is just following the trend that's been set with all the other foreign planes we've gotten so far. You can't expect for them to offer foreign planes en masse...? They're the equips of "guest star" foreign ships. Unless they introduce a way to import foreign planes into our bases, or make foreign CVs easily obtainable, this won't change.

There are valid reasons why you'd equip a F6F (and Bf109T, which is in the same class stat-wise) over a SK2 or Reppu. I'll take a small spread of stat boosts over 1-2 points of AA (and the SK2's +3 evasion boost) most days, even if I only have 2-3 copies of each plane.

Above the F6F/Bf109 "tier", the Fw190T and Re.2005 have been my go-to fighters for CV-intensive maps. I may only have 3 Fw190Ts (hell, I liked this plane so much I scrapped my first Graf for the chance of a second one) and one Re.2005, but they're all I use in CV-intensive maps, along with Reppu 601s and the quest Zero 53. If you want an American plane that you feel you'll have good reason to use, wait for the USN's Fw190T/Re.2005 equivalent.
