Well there are intels about jets coming this fall, so I guess if the hellcats are too strong they can simply make them just a bit weaker then jets, and they can use Japanese aces to balance them again.

Then again, from the tales of "Maya has no Japanese gear onboard anymore", maybe the devs don't mind letting the American gears to be the strongest. That's exactly what I mean. The strength of an F6F in Kantai Collection would probably fall within or close to what somebody already has out there. They're useful for maybe sneaking in an extra bomber where someone with lesser planes would have had to slot in a fighter, but it's not really that gamebreaking. Few admirals are likely to ever have enough to fill a CTF with them, and the game will still be balanced around the planes players always have access to. Advantages will exist, but no mechanics would be gated.

Also, World Flavor Maya is the best Maya. Maybe she'll, someday soon, get a piece of French gear to further accessorize with.
