The number will vary for the Soviets as their army capacity varies over time. You should check the manual for specifics.

LOL. It shows that I'm not a native English speaker.

Thanks for the info.

Status: offline 		So an air army can support 18 air bases. That's impressive. I'm wondering if I should just disband all the other air headquarters. There doesn't seem to be any need for them. What do other players do?

Plus you will need a few Stavka Air HQ's as well.

Though they are ground units, Air headquarter units do not have any capacity limitations and can only attach lower level air headquarter units, to include air base units, as well as anti-aircraft support units


So no limitations for air armies.

Some air army like Long Range Air Command are directly attached to Stavka. Should they be attached to AIr HQ Front?

Status: offline 		Long Range Air Command was used to command a collection of four smaller commands. It was disbanded in August 1941 and then reformed in early 1943. This formation was the Soviet strategic air force and was in charge of deep operations. I personally always disband the five HQs in the first few turns for the troops as my handling of the Soviet Air Force (aka VVS) does not tend to use them.
