Not that I can recall. Likely as there are far fewer actions the Allied player can make to influence which airframes are available, when.
Exception is to:
- Delay the upgrades for on map production facilities. You do this by selecting "keep" (vs "upgrade") on the currently producing model at the site's factory.
- - For example, later model P-38s at Los Angles, you can delay upgrades to keep an earlier model in production as the new models facilities come on-line. This can help "smooth out" the fielding so you're not stuck with depleted units short replacements of the (recently replaced) model while new model is ramping up to enough strength to upgrade a whole unit. P-38s and some B-25s can take advantage of this in early-late '44. SBDs can be in this situation earlier in the war but chances are you'll have a sufficient stockpile of those unless you've had egregious losses. Pretty sure this exhausts Allied options here (SBDs, late model P-38s, some later B-25s)...may be some later PBY models that can do this as well...
- - When you look at the on map aircraft factories (off the top of my head I think in only three or four locations...Seattle, LA, ...?) you can see the models reflected and click on the upgrade option to monitor what the next version is. In some cases there are no upgrade options and earlier models are "off map" so they will stop, and you have no ability to carry them over, when upgrade time comes. Since there are comparatively few choices here for the allies this is often overlooked. As noted above I don't recall anyone taking the time to map them as Hanzberger did for IJ.
- - If you play with PDU (player defined upgrade) "off" I can see where a mapping would be more useful. I typically play PDU "on" so have not explored PDU off limitations significantly.
Not sure this was exactly what you were looking for...but seemed related to your ask!
Happy Gaming
