The maximum level of military units and ammunition is now increased to 160. At this quality level, the power of the unit is 1.6 that of a unit at quality level 100.
Check the military units in your country to find out how to increase their quality. Make sure you have the products that are needed to upgrade the units. The quality boost applies for all military units, including defensive ones and of course the air force.
Units at higher quality can reduce the need for a very large number of units and cut the number of weapons and soldiers in the army. |

Please Tom, can you update the order strategy system so we can have our countries automatically order weapon and ammunition quality upgrades. |

The automatic ordering system is usable with products that are consumed each month.
This is the case with all the products the population consume, and ammunition that is used by the army, etc.
It is not used to order products that are bought from time to time.
how many weapons and ammunition upgrades should be ordered automatically? based on the number of weapons and ammunition?
I do not think you want to upgrade them all.
In this case, and in the initial stages of production and use of these products, it is simpler to place a large order from time to time. |

Tom,
This market is very unstable, and the consumption rates are rather dramatic with a seemingly high decay rate for the upgrades.
I'm one of several to dodge around the issue of ordering upgrades by having my countries receive upgrades from my enterprises via contract.
This per se makes it easier for me to cope, since I have a constant stream coming in. I do have to temporarily shift focus for my enterprises and disable upgrading quality temporarily for a new corporation, but to me, that's part of the game and meeting my goals.
Would I like to be able to consistently order a small quantity monthly from the world market though without direct interaction on my part? Yes. |

But, How come you cant drop SP units and ABC units from Air bases dropped in a enemy country? It says "Boarding
Flims must be within a 400.00km range of an Offensive Military Airport before you can schedule an Airdrop.
The nearest is Vista Military Airport in the country ---. The distance to that airport is 1,517.72km.
Please move Flims to an airport."
And the airports made from Air base construction units are Offensive airbases, i can create Air dropping units from it, But cant drop them. is there a certain reason that it doesent work. |

Tom -
You should be able to set-up an order strategy by setting a Low-Water Mark in units. So if I want a country stock of 1,000 ammunition quality upgrades, I can set that so when my stockpile dips below that my country automatically orders more.
I don't see any issue with this, especially since the players chooses which weapons/ammo units that they are upgrading.
I think being able to do this would be helpful.
Thanks. |
