Chairman.
Have the new Il-2 factories finished re-tooling?
( IE do they no longer have an * beside the production number?)

So the pig began to whistle and to pound on a drum.
"We'll give you a gun, and we'll give you a hat!"
And the pig began to whistle when they told the piggies that.
Hmm...
Do you already have some Il-2 equipped units in front line service or training? If so then they are probably being fed Il-2's from the pool to increase their size/replace losses.
Another thing, you have, I assume greater than 100% heavy industry, and greater than 100 pts of Raw material?
If ether of these is less, than that will reduce the production rate of new equipment somewhat (but not by 50% though)
If you are producing 98 a turn but only getting 48 a turn, then it would seem that you have 5 undertrenth Il-2 airgroups somewhere busily rebuliding at 10 a turn each.

The game pretty consistently keeps around 50 items in the pool for just about everything from what I have seen, as long as it isn't converting into other equipment. Thus, this sounds normal. Also, each unit can normally only get 10 pieces of equipment per turn, no matter how many are available and how weak it is.
