Default Re: USA/USAF Units in USMC OOB

The Allies function Andy mentioned is the primary reason I brought this up.

I thought it might be worthwhile to eliminate duplicate units in the USA/USMC OOBs (why I indicated the ones with no duplicates - i.e. "(Not in USA OOB with same weapons load)"} to reduce (in the long run) the workload of maintaining the two OOBs.

To the best of my limited understanding the intent of having two OOBs for the USA in the first place is that the US Army/USAF and USMC/USN are sufficiently large, and different, military services that it's impractical to have just one USA OOB. And that keeping each OOB "accurate" as to the weapons, units, and formations would help reinforce those differences.

I intentionally did not mention that the B-26 variants were NOT used for close air support, they're were dedicated interdiction aircraft used vs the Ho Chi Mhin Trail, thus outside the scope of WinSPMBT.

You may note that I did not suggest what should/could be done with the information provided, I merely took the time to cross reference the OOBs and point out duplicates. What you do, or don't do, with the information provided is up to you.

As to the Navy Helo's.
There's not a lot of call for anti-submarine warfare on dry land, and whatever anti-ship capability they may have the Navy tends to prefer to use keeping their ships safe, they're funny that way. Dedicated SAR helos might be considered outside the scope of WinSPMBT, thus might be be safely eliminated as irrelevant to the game, much like fuel trucks.
