China is one of the most bleak nation in terms of prop era planes, as a result of near non-existent air force during the world wars and the lack of resources. The current tech tree is lacking in many ways including a bleak 5 vehicle rank V. This is an open discussion for any vehicle that fits in the gap.
Nanchang CJ-6A would be a good reserve tier plane
Spitfire Mk F24 (Royal Hong Kong Auxiliary Airforce)
Spitfire Mk XIV was also deployed to Hong Kong after WW2.

Curtiss BT-32 Condor II, Chinese twin engine biplane bomber Would make a unique reserve bomber

completely original planes there’s a couple like the Gamma 2E, H-75 fixed carriage but more “copy and paste” vehicles there’s a lot missing like the He-111A, Cr32 , P-26 and a bunch of other planes on chinese service

Both useful in some form of large scale naval warfare game of course, but utterly useless in WT.
Some I find interesting
He-111
P-40N
B-24M
For Rank V specifically though a subtree is the best bet. Pakistan for example operated Typhoons, Tempest IIs, and Sea Furies.

Yeah, having to grind a lines is painful. Pakistan will come sooner or later.
YOOO that looks nuts!
How well did it fly? Surely must’ve been a lot better right?

Probably faster but IDK, that turbo prop probably destroyed the balance and they have to readjust to the weight distribution.

China also fitted at least one of their Tu-4s with turboprops. Unfortunately there’s essentially no information on it.

Do we know where is it RN?
Edit: This is the Tu4 labelled 4134, which is the designated AQM-34 carrier I believe. A couple others were produced including the first asian AEWC KJ-1. My current count is 5.

Apparently testbed for the KJ-1 AWACS and then an experimental drone carrier

From what I have seen it has WJ-6. A total of 5 produce I think, KJ-1, 4134, 3 of either ECM or ELINT.
I need that il10
It’s disgusting that an early He 111 still hasn’t been added yet.
