I am fighting as Germany against British fighters in Northern france. I am pretty sure I could beat their fighters, but Italy and some other allies are swarming my airbases with their shitty planes and thus lowering my mission superiority by around 80%. Is there any way I can push them out of my airbases?
Allies overcrowding my airbases

They should make a check-box "Make exclusive" for the airfields to prevent other nations aircraft from using it.

Nope. One of the aspects to be fixed whenever PDS revamps the air system. As of now all you do is build more bases. Or either ask or force tag them to lend lease you the trash so you can either inventory it or rebase it elsewhere.

There's a problem with the AI wanting to put all their planes in one strategic region, and they also choose the closest airbase. Unfortunately, this means they will put loads and loads of planes in that same airbase as well.
Has this been fixed yet? I cant find any help on this. Im playing the UK and every allied European country conquered by Germany is basing its planes on Malta and ruining my air defence there. There are 900+ planes at the airbase when it can only hold 600 (I have 550 planes there so over 400 allied planes clogging up my base.). I know I can build more and I am but Im concerned i have to waste production to cover an Allied AI problem. I cannot request air forces from my allies so I have no control. And to make it worse they sit there idle most of the time....Is there anything I can do?
Does anyone feel like that the AI will often put planes into an air base then do nothing with them?
Yes. The air system's performance is sub-optimal and is supposed to be revamped in 1.4.
Thanks for responses. The allied planes left eventually to North Africa so its ok now but it does keep happening near enemy fronts.
It would be better in SP games if I could just control all Allies. Its pointless working with an allied AI that has no idea what I am planning and worse gets in the way making them a liability not an ally.
I played this game once when it came out and it wasnt really finished. I played for a second time starting a couple of weeks ago after getting TFV and I like it a lot but the UK should be a lot more fun. I ran out of Manpower by Jan 1939 and I only built about 9 divisions. I was also using 90% inidian manpower too but they ran out before UK did! Ive spent more time reading wiki's and posts on how to play this game than actually playing it! Ive been off for two weeks playing this for hours every day and so far im only on May 1939.
Its Utterlly boring when you cannot build a decent army espcially with the MILLIONS of people in the commonwealth. Historical is nice but if its not fun there is no point. Shame really. A lack of decent stragey guides for UK really doesnt help, i've looked for hours on the internet. The only ones I can find are making UK Facist which dont interest me.

You should play Germany or Italy for your first game. For the U.K. You need to take the focus to remove the penetly that reduces you total manpower. I believe you need 50% world tension to take it. Also up your conscription law when the war starts.
Thanks for the tip. I'm already heading for the remove "end all wars" focus. I'm not counting on getting much from it though. I expected more from indian manpower - I read somewhere it had tons available but clearly not.
I've played japan almost all the way trhough in my first HOI4 game but since then I've completely forgotten all the nuances of the game. I've played every version of HOI so im very familiar with the game its just take so long to get into it. One mistake and hours worth of time is wasted. I had subs on convoy raiding and do not engage for 6 months which really annoyed me. I wrongly assumed the order "sink convoys" means ATTACK not run away grrr.
Anyone know how to see subject nations available manpower? or do I need to start another thread?

This was the right thing to do instead of hijacking an old thread about something slightly related with what you were interested..
Necromancy is not allowed. A more than a month old thread should rest in peace.
