Here is what I am seeing in my units

Supply Units (3):

Unit 1:
175,378 Gasoline
177,600 Military Supplies
3102 Trucks needed
unit 2:
-4,920 Military Supplies
-279 Gasoline
2827 Trucks needed
unit 3:
-8,880 Military Supplies
17,146 Gasoline
2839 Trucks needed

Total trucks in inventory: 25,265 0 Used
Total trucks needed in supply units: 8768

total other supplies used and in inventory:
Military Supplies:
Used Per Month: 219,780
In Stock: 2,566,082
Gasoline:
Used per month: 1,686,892
In Stock: 20,498,836

So the question is why isn't it giving my supply units the supplies it needs from my inventory? And why are my supply units not restocking my other units with the supplies they need to stay active?
I have (and have had) enough of everything needed in my inventory for the the units left as well as the units that were dism

Btw, what determines the monthly use of ammunition in the country stock? I have not increased my army, the amount of weapons and target ammunition on my units is the same. Except for my units, I have no weapons in stock (also no weapons deactivated).

How does it come that the monthly use of ammunition from the country stock is increasing incrementally?

I have also increased the low water mark for the order strategy to 5 months, with an order quantity of 15 months now.

Too little data to help you there. Are we now looking at the data from the trade page to check ammo consumption? What kind of ammo is being used for how many weapons?

With additional data, it makes it possible for another player to check things like ammo/weapon used. One possible factor is this:

"145. Quality of ammunition [ top ]

The quality of ammunition has now more influence on the number of ammunition pieces used in the ongoing operations of the army. The higher the quality, the lower the number of ammunition pieces used.
Ammunition quality is also a major factor on the quality of military units."

So, for example, if the quality of the ammunition in your units is higher than the quality in your stock, as the units consume ammo and are resupplied, the general quality of your ammunition will go down. This is often true if you have upgraded your units. Again though, sharing as much data as possible

This is prob a dumb question but a unit that's outta gas would or would not be able to still launch its ordinance down range? Example a mobile con missile unit

On Saturday 19 March 2016 at 20h16 CET (8.16 PM CET), I have extensively described which ammunition specifically is being used. I have also stated that we are NOT talking about the ammunition and fuel used at the trade page of the country.

All my units have an ammunition quality of 300. My units are as following:

Two LRDs with each as a target: 18,000 OAAM, 14,400 HAS, 15,200 HTA, 3,600 MRM, 99,900 MS, 2,000 Gasoline

One attack and bombing wing with a target of: 14,000 PB, 22,500 FM, 112,800 MS, 158,400 AF

One attack and bombing wing with a target of: 48,000 PB, 144,000 MS, 172,800 AF

One LSU with a target of: 900 AAM, 1,050 AVM, 1,800 MI, 1,500 DM, 6,660 MS, 400 Gasoline

One SSU with a target of: 450 AAM, 525 AVM, 900 MI, 900 DM, 3,690 MS, 250 Gasoline

Those targets have been there for at least one real life month, but it is just since last week that the current number of ammunition in

Maybe this is a dumb question but this is what I didn't understand. What you are saying is that you are watching some unit. I will use one of your examples.

One attack and bombing wing with a target of: 14,000 PB, 22,500 FM, 112,800 MS, 158,400 AF

If you watch that unit and one month it has 22,500 fighter missiles and each month it has less, how would you conclude that the unit is now consuming more ammunition than before instead of concluding that the unit is simply not getting supplied and before it was? Would you not have to both watch the amount of ammunition in your stock and the amount of ammunition in the unit to reach a conclusion about what it happening? The consumption indicated in the trade page and the finance page under "spending", likewise, would seem useful in this analysis.

If your goal is simply to rage here, my apologies. I can make my own thread to simply focus on the items I am interested in findi

Aries, thank you for your very quick reply!

Oh no, it is not a dumb question at all! In fact, you point out two very important situations.

First of all, you just removed a huge misunderstanding in this discussion! Previous requests for information about the country's trade page seemed a little out of the blue; I did not understand how the drop in current numbers of ammunition and other resources in units is linked to the level of clearly well-stocked country reserves on the trade page. That is why I reiterated several times that we are talking about the current number of resources in units, because I completely did not understand the link (I am pretty much a newby, and I am curious in such an extent that I want to know everything about this game). So, thank you a lot for removing this misunderstanding!

Second, that is exactly my question. Me being a complete newbie, I do now know if this is a 1) change in the gam

Number of weapons on those units would help. I am going to look at that attack and bombing wing and compare some of my own data. I will assume the 22,500 fighter missiles are meant to supply 300 fighter planes, as default fighter ammo runs 75 missiles/plane.

This means your 300 fighter planes are consuming 45 missiles/month according to the data you posted from your trade page. According to your spending page, the value of your consumed ammunition is $663.12M/game month and it identifies the quality of the consumed ammo to be be 207. The missiles in your stock are 207 quality while you said your units are at 300 quality. Because I have your world as KB, I can check that world's market price for fighter missiles and find it to be $7.12M.

This means 45 missiles times 207 quality (2.07) times $7.12M should be close to what we find on the "spending" tab of the finance page. I get $663.2M on my calculator with that which is

Thanks, that does indeed clarify a lot! For my FM, I do remember dropping numbers of 45, 90, 180, or other multiplications of 45 that could run up to as high as several hundreds (currently it is 90 below target). For the other ammunition, it also somehow adds up, or it gets close to the missing number in the units (or it is an exact multiplication in case of ammunition of resources that are not used that much, like with the FM). With HAS and HTA there is a bit larger gap, but that could be due to a lag in the supply. Could the dropping then be explained by a delay in resupplies?

I guess it also works this way for other resources, like fuel and MS, doesn't it? Those are the resources where the drops are most drastic, about half of what the target for the units is. But then probably those are also the most-widely used resources per unit.

In the end this seems actually pretty straightforward :p

So, if I understa

I have no shortages of any kind in any of my countries. I am having the same issue as every one else. I have never had this issue before and there is no reason, based on my supply situation, that I should be having an issue now. The fact that everyone else is having the same issue at the same time for no apparent reason means this is a problem the GM should explain and address. I could , if I wanted to, deactivate and then reactivate my units right now and they would be fully supplied. I have the same number of supply units as before this issue cropped up.

I swear im having the same problem, only my units are supplied, they just keep on randomly disabling themselves for litterally no reason, the whole unit will disband and all 100% of its weapons in the unit will just deactivate. No messages in the news paper about the units, just says havent had gasoline for 12 months when they have gas in stock. I have plenty of supplies and ammo to fit its demands and this HAS NEVER HAPPENED before. So im starting to get convinced that theres something wrong with the units at the moment.

So, thanks to Aries we now know that the use of ammunition and other resources per unit is something very normal and is the standard usage needed for training and maintenance of the units.

It just seems as if the units aren't being resupplied any more that often. I am gradually increasing the amount of trucks I am having, hope that this will help on the long turn, but as far as now the "problem" persists. I have not yet had that units are dismantled, but I am fearing for it :-/

I have experienced units not getting supplies and some auto-ordering issues as well. I have not see anyone have a unit disbanded that was not for lack of ammo though.

I'm having the same issues also. I dismantled and rebuilt some units and supply units just to see what happens. The problem does not seem to be affecting air units, just land units. May not be the case for all. I'm fully stocked w gasoline so I'm not seeing where the issue is. As Aries pointed out, no auto dismantling which is good. But I would like to know what happened, this is a sudden change.

Dominik makes a good point, the supply logs are uneventful. Even if they do supply my air units, there are no documented actions.

Air units located within my country having supply issues as well. I have no shortage of supplies or supply units. I have created additional supply units and that initiated some resupply and the air units were all resupplied, but then the issue returned and again I have air units that have supply issues. I thought if you were not at war and the units were located in your country that supply units were not even required for units to be resupplied. What is going on ??

Army units in Mangra are not replenished.
Thu Nov 1, 3676 No Gasoline for the Units.
There are army and garrison units that are short of Gasoline for more than 12 months.

Please make sure the country has enough Gasoline in stock to replenish your forces.


I think this is the main issue, a bug or something, I have millions of gasoline, the supply unit even got dismantled. The server can`t detect enough resources, so no matter how many times u create the supply unit or how much resources u have, it is still not enough and the army can`t get resupply.

I think it may be fixed, I'm not seeing it as often. I dismantled and then rebuilt supply units. Maybe it's the usual default setting but I noticed that the target amount of gasoline was somewhere around 170 or something like that. I bumped it up, so maybe that helped..?
