oldMarinePanzer -> How do I assign Construction Unit? (8/19/2021 1:04:19 PM)

I have requested to created a new airbase, how do I assign Construction Unit to it in order to get it created faster?

Open the airbases dialogbox and then hit the assign units text

fritzfarlig, thanks for your reply, now I got it. Does placing a FBD unit on top of a new airbase NOT help construction? I read in the manual that the AI will NOT assign construction units to airbase creation if I do that. Also, does assigning more than one construction unit to airbase creation "speed up" the construction?

FBD and airbase construction are utterly unconnected so not sure what you've read. If you use the AI depot process it will tend to put one of the depots where you have a FBD (if that already is a railyard) but that is not the same thing.

yes, use more than one, but don't forget the ability to bring in supply is a constraint, so if you are building in a region with poor supply it will take time regardless of the presence of construction units

loki100, what is the optimum number of construction units/battalions in order to get the airbase created in the quickest amount of time? At what number does efficiency trail off? 1-10? How long does it usually take to create an airbase? Does it matter if the construction unit is a "Road Construction Battalion" or a "R.A.D Labor Group"? Or must it be an "O.T. Construction Battalion" ? Would the size of the unit matter? Could I create a "Construction Regiment" 3-4 times the size of a construction battalion that could mimic 3-4 Construction battalions? Even more could I do the same with a Construction Brigade (5-8 construction battalions) or a construction division (15-20 construction battalions), just hypothesizing here :-), wondering how the game logic works

Best as I can:

a) as many as possible (really no idea but if its important stack them up)
b) size matters, with the Soviets I rely on the brigades once they become available and leave the battalions in the army commands as a small fortification bonus
c) name doesn't matter
d) yes sizes stack, its total construction value not what is in a given unit

BUT

Supply is really important and a major constraint. In a Soviet game I build a level 3 airfied just outside Saratov in 3 turns (its an NSS). I've seen level 1 airfieds take 10+ turns if they are in a supply poor region (& you might as well forget about expanding over #1).

In many ways the location/supply dynamic is far more important than the ability to allocate construction units. So a big depot close by is essential
