The short version:
Given how much map you have remaining, you're not too bad off.
A few too fighters perhaps and relying a bit too much on LBs doing the job.
The longer version for you to take what you will from it:
Fighter and fighter bomber assessment
149 regiments. Should be on 25 fighter divisions @ 6 per. Increase fighter count to 156. Total spend 7AP.
64 first-line regiments, 50 second line, 35 third line. Take highest 10 experienced among LaGG and Hurricane series and manual upgrade to Yak-1B. Will need a few weeks to fill pool. Total spend 10AP.
production of types all full except La-5F. The factories were presumably evacuated from Gorki and are damaged. Current capacity 49 of 108.
Tactical air assessment
52 IL-2 series regiments running full production. Should be 9 ground attack divisions @ 6 per. Approximately 6,800 a/c of all IL variants in reserve.
3 of the 4 IL2 factory clusters should move 1 factory to another location. That will significantly decrease production that you have no real need for and save on supplies.
There are ample reserve a/c stocks to fall back on. The earlier variants are not significantly different from the current a/c.
8 U2-VS regiments. Presumably 1 NBAD division. Move 1 factory from each cluster to save on supplies consumed on that line. You should never need another plane of this type with nearly 4k in reserve.
Level bomber assessment
Can't accurately assess without the complete picture, but there appear to be 63 regiments, not counting DB-3Bs that may or may not exist.
Given there are only 60 tactical air regiments, the bombing component is largely balanced, but this is the time when the level bomber should be getting phased out.
Starting Scenario for 43 campaign game:
126 tactical bomber regiments of which 35 are U2-VS. IL2M and 2M3 variant total 90 regiments.
61 level bomber regiments various types but do not include 1st Generation SB-2 or DB3B types.
Based on the combination of tactical and level bomber assessment, I would add another 36 IL2 type regiments to bring you closer to the historical mark for that type at least. Need 36AP
Recon and transport assessment
13 recon regiments and 13 transport regiments of which 9 U-2 trans are part of the latter. You should have 6 VVS bases.
3 of these bases should be dedicated as transit bases between map and national reserve to boost morale of FFBs to 60+
This will allow greater mission participation rates.
You have enough R&T a/c to make due. Ideally you would upgrade all U-2 to LI-2 but that isn't affordable.
Organization with 55 airbases
25 fighter bases
19 front line and 6 second line
16 tac air divisions with IL-2 buildout and includes the one NBAD division
Level bomber
8 divisions @ 4 regiments each. I'd scrap all but 40 of the most experienced LB regiments at no cost of APs. That leaves 8 in reserve.
6 VVS airbases, 3 dedicated for Recon&Transport and 3 for morale cycling FFBs between base and national reserve.
