Just wondering if these 2 divebombers might be in development , they both would be a fine addition to the Pacific arena ....

But since then Daidalos Team have taken over and they have stated that the Pacific theatre is under developed in the game and they will / are looking at adding new content for the Pacific theatre at a future date, but they will not add or incorporate any thing to do with Northrop Grumman. That said the Helldiver is made by Curtiss so there is hope .
As for the Judy I never heard of it being worked on for Pacific Fighters or by any Modders, maybe Daidalos Team will do it if they think its important enough :?:.

In a case like this, if N-G had not sued, they would have lost all rights to the names. Other users, such as plastic model makers, ask for and pay for permission to use the name, which is N-G's property.
It's very unfortunate it turned out this way, but protecting your property from theft is not %#*@# ! [Expletive removed by Fireskull].
BTW, there's probably no problem with using the name if no one is making money from it, such as mods created and provided free.
