Supply with new tanks/planes

[agors]

Hello Warriors [;)],

after some rounds playing the Germans I still don't understand WIR's system of resuppling. If I got 500 FW190 or 300 Panthers in my pool, how will they delivered to the corps and air groups?

Somone wrote you need at least 200 to resupply. But is there a special plan? One third for every army group (if there are three)? Or just the part for those corps which are working with the special tank?

Thank you for any informations concerning this topic,
Andreas

Each HQ has a Resupply level - all units are resupplied to this level taken from their maximum strength .
50% Level means an Air Unit receives replacesments unless plane numbers fall below ~100 planes
75% means ~150 planes or below

You are able to manually upgrade older plane/tank types to new ones or the computer does this if in computer equipment mode - Fw190 is a good replacement for Me109E

Seems if the mode is computer controling upgrade, it will automatically upgrade the old type to new one even I just manually switch it to old one last turn. This is not a good sign because sometimes old types get more and more in the stuck pool. Maybe you want leave some old types on purpose.

Hi Deniss et allii,

you missunderstood my question. I know how to upgrade. But IO want to know how to bring tanks from HQ to tthe front division. Let's say again there are 400 Pz IIIj in the pool. My Pz Corps on the front has a resuply rate of 100% and is the last unit using IIIj's. Why is it that those hundreds of IIIj tanks keep staying ion the pool instead of being delivered to the front, even if this front corps have only 50 or 60 tanks at all?

T(h)anks in advance,
Andreas

There is a maximum of replacements per turn. I don't know how high it is for tanks and I don't know how many influence the supply level has.

Planes follow simple rules: Every Geschwader gets 10 planes per turn (if its total strength is low enough - Denniss explained that). If you have more than 600 planes of one type in your pool, your air units with that type receive 30 planes per turn.

[Denniss]

Tanks should come in at a rate of 10 .
A PzBn is be limited to ~85 tanks an a StuG/JPzBn is limited to ~45 tanks

You might have some overstrenth units but they won't receive replacements until falling below max strangth/resupply level
If you have 400 tanks in pool replace some older equipment with them (for use in western/Italian front - no need to use Panthers/Tigers there !)

Dear Fellow Gamers, [:)]

I have a different but related problem with equipment upgrades.
I prefer the human control mode to have full control over factory and equipment upgrade, but even in this mode the computer sometimes steps in and changes the equipment of my armor units (but never that of the air units). This is especially annoying if it switches to OLDER equipment I just wanted to phase out. E.g. I'm switching to T-34/85 and IS-IIM in my tank units, and then at the end of my turn a message appears saying something like "241st Tank Rgt is reformed with T-70s". [:@]

It seems to me that this happens if the number of some armor type in the pool suddenly increases (and it surely does when I order a retirement of that type from all units). So while the stupid computer issues T-70s or T-34/M40s to my tank armies, hundreds of newly produced T-34/85s are just sitting in the pool - unused. What can I do? I definitely DON'T want to see any T-70s in my tank units as the Russians in 1944. [&:]

There are still some hardcoded upgrades in the .exe on both sides .
I prefer to have old/obsolete/special build tanks in western/Italian Fron but hardcoded upgrades usually moves PZ-III/IV/Panthers depending on date and previous used tank .

The russians usually have two types of tanks in their units - the 80+ Bn and the 40+ Rgt - the first ones usually have T34/medium tanks and the Rgt usually have KV/JS/Heavy tanks
Using heavy tanks in Bn usually gets the "reformed with T70" and the other way round
