I wanna know what you're most looking forward to? Is it the developing your first jet-powered dive bomber? Is it finding out how to get carriers as early as possible? Or is it finding a way of making aircraft carriers impossible and developing disgusting battleships in the 1940's?
Tell me your craziest concepts, your strangest desires?

Incendiary balloon or balloon bomb. A balloon filled with helium or hydrogen that carries either a Molotov cocktail, or a rack of bomb. Once released it hits the Jet Stream about 25,000 feet and can travel over 6000 miles then either releases its load or it simply falls to the ground. You could carry anti-crop agents and drop them on an adversary's farm lands. Cool!!
Another really interesting and wierd aircaft is the vertical takeoff and landing tail-sitter. Counter-rotating props, three blades which would be great for small warships and protecting convoys.

Just as the battleship was able to show what it was really capable of, some rotter shows up with fancy new gizmos and toys that make the battleship obsolete. Where did the sportsmanship in war disappear to? It's a conspiracy I tells ya!.

Austro Hungarian aircraft carriers. And I want huge carriers, not the light ones or the escort ones. I want huge Austro Hungarian aircraft carriers operating in the Mediterranean.

The biggest, fastest, most powerful flying boats I can have. I want to give the Spruce Goose its day in the sun.

I feel that carrier raiders have a real possibility of working out. The only question is: can I deny returning aircraft landing clearance? Because I could really see making a cruiser-carrier hybrid, then using it's torpedo bombers to ward off any BCs that wander across it.

What about a submarine carrier? The US Navy AN-1 submarine aircraft carrier. All aircraft launched vertically. Pretty cool

I'm waiting to implement the Russian tank-building philosophy to my Fleet in the terms of massive fleets of good-enough light escort carriers.
Our Carrier Air Groups shall blot out the sun.

Well, I hope your quality control is better than theirs, their weapons are not very reliable and capable of hitting anything.

Live or die, we'll put on a show.

I am hoping to design something similar to the 1950s Cruiser-Destroyer design studies with fully automatic (60rpm was planned) 5 inch guns which were drawn up by Britain in the 1950s.
In 1936 for Specification S.9/36 the Admiralty asked for a 3-seat spotter fighter (with a four gun turret) and in 1939 for Specification N.9/39 they also asked for a two-seater carrier based turret fighter. I would like to be able to design turret fighters, even though as concept they did not work.
I also hope to build a large number of Courageous style battlescouts/light battlecruisers, be suddenly forced to comply to a treaty, leaving with a number of large, fast and heavily armed cruiser-killers that I can use to chase down treaty-cruiser.
Finally of course, large rigid airships to be used as scouts.
