The B-52 is the blessed child of the Omnissiah, it shall never die
A few years ago, B-52H fuselage was hauled from the boneyard to Oklahoma City where Boeing is in the process of taking it apart piece by piece while 3d scanning everything so they can build a CAD model and do FEA for future upgrades. First on the list is engines from this century. Unfortunately, Boeing is the prime contractor so they'll probably fuck it up irreversibly.
 
They likely would have gone with the E-Series project as the future basis of their armored units.
I remember that in Armored Champion, Zaloga argues that the E-Series was mostly a "we must design something or will be sent to the East Front" instead of a thing the Germans were actually planning to mass produce.
I may be mistaken, been ages since I've read it.

That was the primary motivator for the team in this timeline; but in an alternative universe where they actually won, it would be the most rational direction to take as it would effectively be a complete revamp of what they actually had in WW2 which was an incredibly wide variety of vehicles and equipment forcibly pressed into service from other nations.

It would also depend on how and when they won as well though. Chaos was the procurement strategy for the Reich's entire armed forces and I doubt that would go away if the system was shown to work with a sweeping early victory, the status of the UK, US, and USSR are also all very important in this scenario.
 
Huge moves in US missile procurement, new orders for around 10,000 weapons across multiple low cost designs between 2027 and 2030, under the Low Cost Containerized Munitions program.



From Anduril, at least 3000 Barracuda-500M with ground launchers for the US Army, aiming for 1000 missiles delivered per year. Liedos is offering 3000 LCCMs based on an upsized AGM-190A along a similar schedule. CoAspire and Zone 5 are also involved in that 10,000 missile order, but haven't released statements yet. At the same time, there is a two year agreement with Castelion for at least 500 of their Blackbeard low cost hypersonic missiles.
