Hi John,
Diversity in aircraft giving you choices. Good reason. My thoughts were how specializing at the beginning could pay dividends later. The reason is because the R&D factories saved by focusing on George could be enough to get some of those late war toys to play with. Maybe by doing that you could get jets, for example, early enough to be a factor. Like you said, choices.
And for what it's worth, I think staying up North was the right choice. A tough choice but the right one. You had a chance to wreck a couple of his carriers really early in the war. Sure you could've been hurt but odds are you would have come out the clear victor. Having to only worry about LBA would only help you out for Eastern Storm.

Ahhhhh....NOW I understand. Yes--One can game the system. You KNOW George would be fantastic so why not sink all your research into it? Makes sense to me now.
