When I transfer an air group into an existing AOG on map, from reserve, there is room on the air base. The air base is not set to zero supply level, there is plenty of fuel, ammo and supplies on the air base itself, there is a large depot in the same hex, why do I get "Failed to resupply air base, do you still want to transfer?". To me it feels like this should be an excellent air base to insert more planes into. What am missing? Too low air base supply level, for the amount of new air planes I try to base there?

This example is in Feodosia, on the Kerch, supplied by sea, but it happens afaik everywhere.

I need help to understand why my front lines on the Kerch are starving without supplies. HQs are next to them. The ports of Kerch and Feodosia have freight stored up in them. The rail line behind the front isn´t bombed. Its snowfall in January.

Yet a trickle of supplies are sent from a two Caucasus depots to one division, all but one freight each being lost on the way.

And to the majority of the front line hexes none is sent at all. The port depots have very few trucks in them, but I cant influence that except supply settings I believe. Could I send trucks there manually? I dont think so.

Feodosia is 4 hexes from the front, so no horse drawn transport, but if no supplies are sent out, this wouldnt matter I suppose.

I have a prio 4 depot on the rail line one hex behind the front, 3 from the port. It never receives any freight. A lack of moving stock on the peninsula to get anything here?

My only guess would be a somewhat too low supply priority on their HQs, but this doesnt really make sense either. They are some of the highest on the map.

Is it the frontline forts being built automatically sucking up all the supplies? This isnt the case anywhere else.

The AI isnt attacking, so it isnt combat depleting me. And its the delivery, and not the consumption that wont work.

Is it just that you simply cant supply an entire full Front, through the ports, even if they are stocked to the brim with freight?

Anyone dare to venture a guess?

Is it possible to automate the Hungarian and Romanian armed forces?

in the main being in a ZoC is a large drag on regaining combat readiness, so yes break contact if you can

As I'm used to metric values like most Europeans, so it would make sense to have metric values instead of Imperial values. I can be a bit cumbersome all the time to "translate" the imperial values to metric figures. Like the speed of the planes and vehicles for example, those I know roughly in Kmh for the various types but the Mph values doesn't say me much until converted.
In the editor it is possible to change but it will not change in the game file. Is there a way to do this?

Is the paradrop interface bugged?

How do I order and CONFIRM a new paradrop hex?

Each time I click the radio button of a corresponding para unit, it CHANGES drop hex destination shown, without me having chosen a new hex, like it has multiple targets allocated.

Also, after assignating a new drop hex for one unit, the next one will always show that same hex too, after clicking its radio button, even though its accual target hex is another one. If you reclick it, it will show the correct one.

If I right click a hex after picking a new target hex, it states "must be a friendly air base hex". But you cant choose staging base or

Bugged and overly complicated interface, or how do you handle this?

since this really isn't a question about game mechanics I'd suggest putting in a post into the 'feature suggestions' thread. More chance of it being noticed or the modding forum - depends really which bit of your question you want an answer to

not my experience, takes two clicks:

so open an old save, press F9 and select airborne.

it shows me all the airborne units I have that are potentially eligible to have a mission set - in this case a brigade in Budapest:



following the instructions I left click on the map on a potential target hex:



thats it, its set. The brigade will build preparation pts and be ready to carry out the drop in 2 turns.

press F1 or whatever and back to the map.

or select another brigade (if I had more than one showing) and redo those steps.

That is not the problem I describe.

I have changed drop hex, from one initial to an new one, after doing what you describe, which works fine for me to.

Now the unit will randomly show the new, or the old drop hex target.

When I have multiple para units on the same air base, with multiple targets, they take turns on showing new, old and random targets hex alternativs, depending on which order I click the radio buttons.

Even if I assign the correct new hex, and this registers, the next time I check, it will still point to the old location, the third time the correct one, without me not having done anything, but check the radio buttons to indicate which para unit is active.

So, yeah, the workaround might be to only use one para brigade per air base and never change the target hex.

ok, went back over my saves for an instance where I can put two brigades on the same airbase, as below just swapped between them and selected a different target hex.





did nothing but open F9, select airborne, select one brigade left click on a target, select the other and left click on a different target hex.

Clearly you are doing/seeing something different but not sure why it doesn't work as above?

I've gone back to that and simply re-ordered, opened and closed (via F1) the tab and can't generate anything unusual. The only issue is it does re-open with whichever brigade you last allocated showing it may look like they both have the same targets.

So there is an apparent delay/hook to the other target but I think its not actually what is happening.

I've attached a wetransfer link to a video of the command sequence I am following and the respective target display.

I'm using a test beta build (hence the info at the screen top) but that really shouldn't be influencing this routine

How does 124 vehicle factories in the factory navigation table (with no damage) translate to 61 active and available factories producing 610 vehicles in the logistic phase report? Some production coefficient for the year?
