Lowpe,
There was a debate in my AAR about x60 versus x30 R&D factories. I was claiming the x60 factories were repairing at the same rate and giving 2% daily bonus once repaired. Was I correct?

Olorin,
Nope, not once has a size 60 r&d facility repaired more than 1 point, or 2 points with the engine bonus.
Sad, but true. Also, I am not sure that they repair equally, it seems size 30 repair a little faster too.

They repair equally fast, in terms of proportion. The formula for rate of repair is public. You can find it...somewhere. I think maybe even in the manual. A size 60 will repair to 60 at the same rate as a size 30 will repair to 30. Obviously there is variation, so this is only exactly true for a large enough sample size.
But no - they only provide 1 point per day. The only reason to have a larger factory is if you are going to switch it to production and want it to be producing more than 30 per month when it switches. I can think of several airframes where this is the case.

I see. I could swear I was consistenly seeing a 2% gain in my previous games, but I must be mistaken.

Probably a patch? Maybe? Maybe it works that way in realistic r&d off?

If you have a high confidence level on the data shown in post #1131, it is going to be very tough to achieve anything worthwhile in Oregon and Washington. OTOH Prince Rupert is not heavily garrisoned.
Which makes one return to the issue of how to set up your maskirovka. After all, leaving it so late in the campaigning season the West Coat operation is very much dependent on a good maskirovka.
Terrace and Prince George are usually not well garrisoned. They can be very vulnerable to a para coup de main. That would both set up good road blocks and allow for strategic movement from Prince Rupert to make the threat of moving on the big Canadian industrial centres before USA reinforcements arrive a credible threat.
Therefore with the low garrison displayed, an initial landing at Prince Rupert, supported by your surrounding airfields and the long distance from Allied airfields which can support Allied fighters, could tempt your opponent to move his reserves north into Canada. You of course would be landing with the minimum of force necessary to secure Prince Rupert (naturally with a buffer to cover the fort levels there) but your main invasion force would be of shore to land and drive on the real targets in America. With luck those real targets will be weakened by either having part of their garrisons moved to defeat your "silly" move on Prince Rupert or the reserves earmarked for their reinforcement instead moved up north.
