Lrfss -> RE: Aircraft Production & Crews ? (4/2/2011 6:09:34 PM)

Aircraft, AFV and combat vehicles are built at individual factories by using supplies, with one
item being built for each factory point. For example, assuming sufficient supplies are available,
the JU88A factory in Rostock, with a capacity of ten factory points, will build ten JU88A’s every
turn. Each aircraft is built as an integral unit, including installed devices and aircrew. AFV and
combat vehicles include installed devices, but will not become complete ground elements
until they are matched with manpower for the crew during the replacement segment. Each
item has a build cost that determines how many supplies it takes for production. The cost to
build an aircraft is its build cost divided by 20. The cost to build an AFV or combat vehicle is its
build cost divided by 10. For example a FW 190A has a build cost of 484, so it would require
24.2 tons of supplies to produce one such aircraft, to include four 20mm cannon, one 250 KG
Bomb and two 300 litre drop tanks as installed devices as well as integral aircrew. A Tiger AFV
ground element has a build cost of 673, so it would require 67.3 tons of supplies to produce
one such AFV, to include one 88mm gun and two 7.92 machine guns as installed devices. Once
produced, each aircraft of a specific type is placed in a separate pool until it is drawn upon
as a replacement or, for Soviet and captured aircraft, enough aircraft are in that pool to allow
the creation of a new air group unit. AFV and combat vehicles go to their specific AFV/Combat
Vehicle pool until the system determines that both the need exists to build that type of ground
element and sufficient manpower is available.
So based on what the manual says I take it that AC Crews are exempt from having to draw from the Manpower pool, correct? Why is that if so, anyone?
