Question: Airbase overstacking??

[Graymane]

Here is what I take from the manual.

1. Is airfield size 9+? No overstacking.
2. Count groups. Training groups are not counted. Split groups only count if of a different HQ.
2.2 Find Air HQ of same base HQ with best command. Subtract that many groups.
2.3 Otherwise, find Air HQ of different base HQ with best command. Substract 1/2 that many groups.
3. Are adjusted number of groups greater than airfield size? Admin overstacked.
4. Count the number of ENGINES on the airfield. An airfield can hold 50 engines per size. Training groups count 1/3 ENGINEs. Split groups count ENGINES normally or 1/3 if in training mode. Is the total number of ENGINES is greater than 50 * airfield size? Physically overstacked.

My guess is that you are physically overstacked. But I'm too lazy to count all the planes [:)]

Well At Rangoon I could have as many as what 300 engines? I have 118 planes, there may at the most be 16 of those 2 engine Hudsons.... I moved all the bombers up north to rest and rebuild or most of them,.

Ok, looking at the composition of those groups on the first screen, it looks like roughly 130 engines. Way under the limit for physical. Most all of the units are ABDA though including the /1 fragment. I think it should be 7/7 instead of 9/7. If it is counting training units though. All of the units training are ABDA. If it counts training, shouldn't it be 11/7? Where does 9/7 come from? Only thing I can think of is training counts as 1/2 or different commands training counts as 1/2 for admin overstacking.

Looking at the other 2 screenshots, it seems you have a lot of float planes (T.IVa, Do-24K-1, PBYs). Although I can't find it in the manual, as someone mentioned up above, float planes don't seem to count against the stacking limit. If that is true, looks like 8/9 groups that would count there.

I think Scotch would be more appropriate [:)]
