“Like the Museum Relic campaign? Why though?. …”
I thought you were talking about the world war. Had me very confused for a few seconds there.
Why so impatience? The first post here was “only” January 2019. Whats four years?
Seriously, my enthusiasm went out the window years ago. In 36 months we have not heard of a serious opponent to the Corsair. No Zero, Jack, Frank or George. It will fit DCS as well as the I-16, lol. Unless DCS WW2 makes a better effort than just the Corsair its just another…well I-16…
I think they will run up against the wall like Jason did when he researched most of the Japanese planes in his attempt to create realistic Japanese aircraft for the Great Battles series. The documents just did not exist to make high fidelity realistic aircraft. We were pretty thorough after the war in having the Japanese destroy not only the planes but the documentation to build them.

But isn’t this a blessing? Nobody can dispute the numbers!
actually no documents needed. we have X-Plane. they can create them in XP and then after the results simulate them in the other sims

Looks like a very nifty sea-skimming ASW of some sort. In other words: no idea. But cool!
I believe they have talked about this previously…It’s a kinda”Smart Weapon “ from 1944…can be guided manually by a aircraft with radar.
It was called the BAT bomb.
The photo above depicts US Navy’s BAT, an un-powered, autonomously flying radar-guided bomb, slung under both wings of a Consolidated Vultee PB4 Y Privateer Bomber. Launches of this BAT were also made from the F4U Corsair fighter, the SB2C Helldiver, the TBF Avenger and the Lockheed Harpoon.

Edit:
Wikipedia article on the ASM-N-2 BAT

IL-2 1946 has had it since the v4.10m patch.

Now this is interesting.
The important question is AI or flyable…
My guess would be AI, but that is heaps better than a Fw-190 painted to look like a Zero
I’m hoping WWII Pacific might be a bit closer than I thought?
That would pretty much fill my calendar for 2023!
F4U,Essex class CV,Mariana’s WWII Map This would be a Good Start
But Wait…There’s More!!!
