What my Ju52/3m are doing?

[piotrmx]

All my Grupps of transport planes Ju 52/3m have ready 1, 2 or 3 planes. The rest ones, 35-37 planes are in reserve. No one is damage. I have such problem the first time. WTF
? All groups are of course with railway supply.

AFAIk there was a bug that airgroups on bases with less than 100% fuel do not recover their reserve aircraft, and an airbase rarely has 100% fuel. Try to send them to the national reserve. When you have them all on one base, sending only 1-2 air groups to the national reserve reduces the AB supply requirement and should put them above 100% fuel for the next turn, which should do the job too.

Not sure for what the reserve function is supposed to simulate, maybe its just a limitation of air transport capacity?

Planes in reserve I suppose that in gruppe I have only 3 crews for example. But what about the rest? They have the shits? Or were eaten by wolfes?

How many air groups do you have on the base, how far from supply? give some pics if you have them. Pretty easy to tell what is happening if you tell a story of what you did with them the turn prior and this turn.

I will give the next turn couse I answered.
It's my tipical game. The first air base with 4 groups is west of Narva. The second air base is east of Rovne. Railways where air bases stand are active. I played in this way many times and I first time have such problem.Ok I will make printscreen maybe it will give the answer.

Every time you do an air supply some aircraft to reserve. There are two ways to get them out:
- sent the air group to reserve.
- arrange that the airbase they are on has 100% supplies. Can do this by sending some of the groups on the base to reserve or by shuffling groups around, possible to an LB base.
It is my fault, I raised a problem about transports before the last patch but now the fix has made it worse than before !

[piotrmx]

Ok. Now its the huge problem

[thedoctorking]

You have to shuttle your JU52 squadrons back to National Reserve. I send one or two squadrons a turn back and bring the same number back. It is an artificial limitation on your air resupply capacity.

It would be nice if we could have a quick patch to repair this. It does kind of break the Germans a bit in September 1941 - April 1942.

Yes, transport aircraft usually become reserve aircraft after air transport mission, and they can't recover if there is less than 100% fuel needs in the base (unlike recovery from damaged status). This will be fixed in the next patch.
