Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Allies' strategy of developing working, standard designs and producing them in overwhelming numbers was a key advantage over the Axis powers, who had a tendency to pursue perfection in their designs and therefore had a slower production rate. This allowed the Allies to have a larger and more consistent supply of weapons and equipment, giving them an advantage in the war effort.
