Hi, I recently picked up the premium FP-5 unit due to my love of the F6F-5 Hellcat. However, after a couple of days, I noticed something off. Although the FP-5 has the livery of an F6F-3 from VF-27. (A navy fighter squadron that predominantly flew the F6F) It’s put under the 318th Fighter Group. (An Army fighter squadron that predominantly flew P-47D Thunderbolts.) Therefore, would it be possible for the devs to fix this mistake? As far as I can tell, this is the only 50$+ premium with an anachronistic squad. (I will link some pictures bellow)

They’re probably gonna ignore this like the Flakpanzer I’s squad.

Also, according to the U.S Naval institute VF-27 flew from the USS Princeton (CVL-23) not USS Natoma Bay (CVE–62): https://photos.usni.org/content/451998jpg

Hopefully not, one is an event vehicle squad and the other is a 50 dollar premium unit. I think they would actually care about the fat microtransaction that they can make from this.
I built a model years and years ago of a Hellcat, and that is the paint scheme I painted. The model broke during a move several years ago from Iowa to Florida, so I ended up just throwing it away.
