How do I get air groups to transfer from a theatre box (i.e. Far East to the Strategic Reserve)?

I've tried everything I can think of and it just isn't working.

Please help.

Have you unlocked the manual control of the theater? If you have automatic theater control installed, then you can only send units and aircraft there, but you cannot take them back from there!

Yes, I have manual control of the Theatre Boxes.

There must be something I am overlooking but for the life of me I just cannot transfer anything from the Far East (and I think I also tried the Transcaucasus) Theatre Boxes to the Strategic Reserves.

I'm not getting any messages when I try in the Commanders Report screen - it just doesn't work.

When I try directly from the Theatre Box the transfer option isn't there.

Do you have a save you can attach? Does it say when you rollover the units in the TB on the map that the units are not allowed to be transferred (could be due to not meeting requirements).

If you have full TB control as you say you do then you can right click on the grey aircraft(the one with the grey bar) then pick where you want the unit to go to. If the top bar is yellow or pink you will have to wait until those criteria for being yellow and pink are finished then you can move them.

Here is a photo of a right click on a grey bar aircraft.

Yellow is usually too low defense thus frozen & pink is just moved there or is locked by the way

I couldn't get anything to come up when I rolled over any units but on status for the Far East Theatre Box I think I found the reason. Ground is at 124% and Air looks like it is only at 87%.

You must have at least 90% of Air requirement after subtract combat value of transferred unit to transfer air unit from current theater box to another theater box.

I made post under feature request recently regarding this issue. It’s such a pain to transfer air groups between the TB’s currently. You should go ‘upvote’ my feature request so maybe they’ll look into improving it.
