The game already came out with Wildcats and Hellcats, then the Grumman lawsuit came. The Avenger was supposed to come in a patch, it was already done but because of the suit they couldn't get it in. They made a settlement so that those Grumman birds already in game can stay as-is but no other Grumman products could be used - ever. Probably some money also exchanged hands. Oleg got pissed off so much that he said he'll never again model a US-produced plane.

That's the story in short.
