1) Why do Airbase HQ's have stocks of supplies when they don't provide supply anymore?

2) Will changing fort (unit and city) production levels from 100 to 0 actually have any impact on available supplies for units? It seems to me consuming millions of tons of supplies for fort building during summer offensives may be counterproductive. Will this increase HQ stockpiles?

3) For the life of me I can't understand why a fuel air supply with JU52s has "25 out of 113 tons delivered"...what happens to the other 88 tons? An airbase nearby would make this...50 out of 113 or something similarly wasteful. Am I missing something?

4) Automatic railroad repair sucks...Do HQs need to be stagnant for a turn for these to detach and repair?

1) You mean Fliegerkorps? I think they are still part of the supply network for airbases?
2) I thought about this as well. Have you run tests how much supplies fort building uses for per infantry division? It would be good if one could turn fort construction on/off for every single combat unit.
3) It is not realistic that Ju 52 deliver fuel at full efficiency to advanced panzer spearheads, thats the reason for the fuel losses.
A friendly airbase on or next to the hexagon which receives airdrops pushes efficiency to 100% if the hexagons are friendly (not pending!!!). You can find the conditions for the efficiency buff in my "How supply works" thread.
4) No idea, I haven't figured out this part of the game so far.

I saw a patchnote or something of the like saying not any more for HQs of airbases, security and some others. Have not read it properly so cannot answer the question appropriately. But it may be part of the undergrowth of changes not in even the updated manual and so has not registered with us (?)

Any HQ may have support units attached and they are fed from supply/fuel dumps in HQs

Fuel drops are air drops of which not all land where they should, other get damaged/destroyed. Only an airbase helps to get them to land and unload their cargo.

1) I had this change in mind. As I got it: Airbases are still supplied by the Fliegerkorps, but if there is no HQ in range, airbases get no supply penalty when they draw directly from the railhead.

Ah you are way ahead of me. So this applies to security too.
