Garrison Production Return

[RocketMan]

The manual says that putting a unit in Garrison mode returns 12% production. However when I tested this, I got the following numbers:

Putting a full strength Division into Garrison mode returns 8 PP, or 8/60 = 12.3% Production (12% would be 7.2 PP).
Putting a full strength Small Corps into Garrison mode returns 17 PP, or 17/120 = 14.2% Production (12% would be 14.4 PP).
Putting a full strength Large Corps into Garrison mode returns 26 PP, or 17/180 = 14.4% Production (12% would be 21.6 PP).

Is this working as intended and the manual is wrong or is the manual right and this is a bug?

Did some more testing as shown in the table below. As can be seen, the amount of PPs returned when placing a unit in Garrison mode is not 12% and instead is highly variable and not explainable by rounding issues.

Size - Unit size that was placed into Garrison Mode (Units are 1939 advancement, 6 PP/size)
Actual PP - Actual amount of returned Production for placing a unit of that size into Garrison mode.
Actual % - Percent of Production that was actually returned
Expected PP - Amount of production that would be returned if the percentage was 12% as stated in the manual.
Diff in PP - Difference between the Actual PP and Expected PP

I ran some more tests and found that the following equation truncated to 0 digits fits the data for both 1939 and 1944 advancements perfectly.

Size*Cost*0.1498 = PP Returned

Well it has to because there are no fractions in PPs.

Well it has to because there are no fractions in PPs.

So it sounds like the value of 12% in the manual is incorrect.

It tries to get close but I have to round it in the game mechanics.

WP2 will have a different mechanic.
