Numdyar: you only get points from COMPLETED factories e.g. 1(0) or 20(0) will give 21 points R&D each month, 99(1) and1(29) will give you exactly.... zero points. And the repairrate is based on a) how far in the future is the model you researching? (further away = slower repair) and b) are the repair criteria met (10.000 supply) and c) Gary Grigby's imfamous dice roll a.k.a. luck. I changed a lot of factories and found out they don't really repair fast as i am probably researching too late a model. I should have gone for the closer models and changing the factories one month before whatever they were researching is avaiable. Anyway, in my current PBEM i messed R&D up as i didn;t understand the rules well. Oh well, we shall see what happens ;) quote:
ORIGINAL: Numdydar Can someone please explain in detail how a plane was accelerated beyond the three month window? In my game I started increasing the number of factories 'building' a R&D plane. It is currently 9/7/1942 and since the beginng of the game, I have gone from 'building' 0/month to 35/month and the plane is still stuck at the same availability date with no change for 3 months at least (I still have a lot of factories to go from 'repairing' to building' too). Plenty of the engines it needs so not a question of lack of engines. So while I can increase the number of factories to reseach the plane, it still takes time to 'repair' the expansion (lees than 1 a day for some reason). However factories that are producing available planes in the same base CAN repair at 1 a day with no issue (Base has 35,00 supplies so I doubt that is an issue and it is in Japan proper so no issue with fuel/resource transport or availability.). Any comments or suggestions? Edit: Doing the calculations, I have 'built' 116 over the course of the game so I should have gotten at least 1 month of advancement, correct?
