air base and harbours?!

Post by SU1941 »

Hey Guys,

i have 2 problems - the first is i dont know where i can see the capacity of an air field - how many air groups i can transfere to it?! I see only the air base size and a number in percent?! The other is, that i dont find the maximum unload capacity of an harbour - sometimes i get a message that i dont have enough points (sorry forget the word). Hope you know what i mean and can help me :-)

many thanks and good fighting

For the air base capacity, see 8.3.5 of the manual. Maximum of 20 units can be assigned. For the three sizes, size 1 has 90, size 2 180 and size 3 240 maintenance points. For size 3 air base the usage per aircraft is 1 point, no matter how many engines the plane has. For size 2 engines 1 through 3 cost 1 point with 4 engines costing 2. For size 1 it's linear.

The number in the anchor symbol when in F3 mode shows the capacity remaining in x1000T. Problem is usually port damage.

Hint: Offloading troops in Temp Ports is 'Free'
