All convoys tied up but does this make sense?

[kendric]

Its showing i have 1667 convoys and need 2538 for trade\supply. I have about 200 divisions fighting. There is a direct land route through non hostile territories to all of them. I have military access land routes through all of them. Is there any way to see a specific breakdown of why it thinks i need 2538 for trade supply? I am importing nothing.

Ok nevermind on the supply map mode i can look at each line. I have a lend lease from the US using 1500 convoys.. sheesh They asked to send me 15k guns 355 AT 1300 support and 1500 art every month! nice guys

Yeah, Lend lease takes way too much convoys! ( And troop transports takes way too little ).

Transporting a 7+2 division ( all men and equipment ) requires 3 convoys.
Transporting the identical amount of equipment ( no men ) using Lend lease requires 137 convoys for 30 days.


I totally agree that it doesn't make any sense.

Infantry equipment lend lease seems to consume enormous amounts of convoys as the system seems to only take acount for the quantity transported.

Have you tested that ingame?

When I look in the game files in directory \common\units\equipment\ I see:

infantry_equipment = {
lend_lease_cost = 1
}

heavy_tank_equipment = {
lend_lease_cost = 14
}

This should mean that Lend Lease of a heavy tank require the same space in Lend Lease convoys that equipment for 140 infantrymen take up ( each inf eq arm 10 men ).

You guys are missing the important thing. Why would the us send me 2000 convoys worth of gear. If the AI does that to each other they will shut each other down if they accept because then your convoys are all busy and you don't recieve the goods because you dont have 2000 convoys locking your convoys up until you cancel this(which the AI might not do).

I think the AI looks at what gear your missing and tries to help you out.
