Gary told me the following a few months back:
A/c will only build if number of airframes in pool is >= build limit of the aircraft. Would that explain what you are sseeing?
Thank you for the information. I set out below the aircraft production and airframe stock in T1 to T5 of my Road to Leningrad and 41 Campaign test cases for reference:
--- Data ---
A. Road to Leningrad scenario test
MiG-3 aircraft production limit af:130; airframe production rate 130/turn; scenario production 20% - actual observed prod rate of airframe 26/turn
* Aircraft Produced : 0, 0, 0, 17, 15 (for Turn 1 to Turn 5 respectively)
* Airframe Stock before production: 72, 98, 124, 133, 144
IL-2 aircraft production limit af:145, airframe production rate 78/turn; scenario production 20% - actual observed prod rate of airframe 14/turn
* Aircraft Produced : 0, 0, 0, 15, 0
* Airframe Stock before production: 100, 114, 128, 142, 141
B. 41 Campaign test
MiG-3 aircraft production limit af:130, airframe production rate 130/turn
* Aircraft Produced : 0, 130, 101, 130, 115
* Airframe Stock before production: 72, 202, 202, 231, 231
IL-2 aircraft production limit af:145, airframe production rate 78/turn
* Aircraft Produced : 0, 123, 0, 139, 0
* Airframe Stock before production: 90, 168, 123, 201, 140
--- Assessment ---
If the airframe stock refers to the number before production, then this rule can explain the zero production cases. However,
(i) it cannot explain why there is production for IL-2 in T4 of the RtL test case, when the airframe stock before production is 142 (smaller than the limit of 145);
(ii) for a small scenario using partial production, I suggest that the build limit in this rule “A/c will only build if number of airframes in pool is >= build limit of the aircraft” should be reduced by the same % as the production; and
(iii) when airframe > build limit, it is still unclear why the aircraft production figure fluctuates – a bug/some undocumented rules/some rules already in the Manual that I have missed?
Finally, is this rule documented in the manual? I presume that this rule applies to both Axis and Soviet sides.
