RHS: Stopping production

Playing RHSCVO ver 7.xx and having a blast..I was checking my replacement pool and noted I have over 300 now un-needed Avro Ansons. I had never considered stopping (or slowing?) their production by turning the repairs to "off"..Would this have done any good??

The Allies do not control production (sort of WITP politics enforced by hard code).
RHS did however sunset production of Allied planes. In the case of Anson - it will stop production when the Ventura V starts up.
That happens in 4/43. Vast numbers of Allied planes no one wants are part of the system. To end that - and also to permit
ramp ups - RHS put all plane production on the map - at the edge if representing off map. You can figure out when a plane stops
production by looking in the editor - its upgrade - if it has one - will replace it in production. Sometimes it will produce at more than
one - sometimes more than two - places. By this means s plane can become a big producer later in the war - see P-47 and the
Thunderbolt variation - and it can ramp up still more than it inherits from other factories.
Note some Ansons are armed - see RAAF Ansons for example - so you might value them more. Look at the UNIT to see this.

Your concept of putting all production on map was brilliant..I do use it to manually turn "on" repair, because (if I understand it) doing so when the plane is not in production will only waste valuable points. Ergo my query as to whether turning the Ansons "off" would have any benefit...Thank you for the response.

The only reason not to turn on ALLIED production is so the numbers will ramp up. There is no cost for ALLIED production at this time.
We also use the on map production to sunset obsolete aircraft production - it is the ONLY way to turn it off. You can stop production from
increasing - but not from happening when it is already set to happen.
And to be clear about production on map - it was proposed by the Forum - twice - I ignored it for half a year (lots of work to implement) - and so it was not my idea - just my implementation. RHS is a team effort - and even some of its critics have contributed ideas, art, or data entry labor.
