Re: Gilders set from WWII
The CG-15A is VERY interesting to me, as the US was going to produce 1,185 of them from July 1945 to December 1946 under the last officially adopted aircraft plan.
Other glider production from July 1945 to December 1946 was going to be:
3,264 x CG-4A
415 x CG-10A
60 x PG-2A (powered glider capable of veeery slowly taking off again)
One of the big problems for OOB makers in Steel Panthers (and other games) is that in 1945, the US had no less than THREE official munitions programs going/getting cancelled; each with plausible chances of occurring.
JANUARY to MAY 1945 - Plan 1: Pre V-E Day. The US is still planning to build several thousand B-24N single tail liberators at Willow Run, along with over a thousand B-32 Dominators; plus about 200+ P-82 Twin Mustangs.
Elements within the War Department were pushing for a fairly extensive heavy tank program; such as making 40% of all 90mm Pershing production be armed with the high velocity Super Pershing gun.
MAY-EARLY AUGUST 1945 Plan 2: As Germany is about to surrender, a lot of stuff is cancelled -- the B-24N is cancelled and Willow Run is chosen to close; while the B-32 is cut down to about 200 planes; and the P-82 Twin Mustang is reduced to a technology demonstrator.
LATE AUGUST 1945 - DEC 1945 Plan 3: With Japan's Surrender, the JX series of plans for post-war aircraft production is put into place; a LOT of stuff is cancelled; and aircraft manufacturers are given small contracts to keep them alive.
