Is it still there? I had about 100 of K-61a which were returned to pool after I switched production to Ki-61b. Planned to upgrade Manchurian groups with these aircrafts, but did not did it right away. So there were no groups using Ki-61a s ... and when I decided to upgrade there were less than 30 a models in the pool...
Is there any way to prevent scrapping of older aircrafts (a way to save them for desperate times) beside keeping some groups equipped with them. And is scrapping rule stil present in AE?

I think that will only work if you let one group at least with the model.

Doesn't the manual for AE state there is a 700? plane minimum before scrapping?

The question about the scrapping rule being present in AE confuses me. Is your example from non AE?

No, I am playing AE. And I also thought that there is no scrapping any more....

13.8 JAPANESE SCRAPPING OF EXCESS AIRCRAFT
The Japanese scrap excess planes in their pool when production is turned on in a scenario. Add
the max ready values of all air units using a particular plane (include in this any reinforcement
groups not yet on the map but due to come in at some point). If the number of planes of that
type in the pool is greater than 99, then the computer scraps all planes in excess of 10 * ( max
ready value of all air groups using the plane), but always leaves at least 99 in the pool.
When the planes are scrapped, they are removed from the pool and 1 resource for each engine
on the plane is added to Osaka for each plane scrapped.
For example: 2 Ki-27 units each with 36 max ready exist in the game and no new Ki-27 units
are due in. Any planes in the pool greater than 720 (72*10) will be scrapped. If 800 planes were
in the pool, then the pool is reset to 720 and 80 resources are added to Osaka (single engine
plane provides 1 resource per plane).
