There is a cap on how much oil you can get from conversion. Oil conversion techs only reduce the amount of energy you need to put in to get 1 oil.
I'm told that the last two conversion Techs slightly raise the amount of Oil you get, by +10% and +20% respectively.
Other than that, your synthetic Oil is limited to 10% of your gross IC's, so the only way to raise it is to raise your total IC's.

The maximum oil you can produce from oil conversion per day is 10% of your IC.
So as you can convert 50 oil a day I assume your IC around 500.
The oil conversion techs simply reduce the amount of energy this costs

mhh okay.
i have 491 ik and my conversion per day is exact 50...
thanks for help. than the reseachr is near useless as germany.

That's not my conclusion, no.
50 Oil per day is more than you would get by Puppeting Romania... and the Synthetic Oil techs lead directly to the Materials Science techs, which give you another +10% IC and +5% Supplies.
A better conversion rate also uses up less Energy to get the same Oil... which in turn allows you to TRADE more Energy to other countries, in exchange for even more Oil.
I'm having oil problems as German as well. My conversion is about ... 25/day IIRC. I have 20 Arm-3, 16 CAS, 12 TAC, 16 NAV, 16 INT-F, 150 INF of all types all vanilla so far.
The problem is big enough that if everything is moving I'm losing more oil than I can trade or produce. Which has got me thinking of Baku and Ptoletsi (??). Even so I intend to have at least double the Panzers. Only I can't move them !!! Jeez!!! I also want STRs for bombing the smithereeeeeeens out of USSR's IC but I don't think I can fly em at the current rate my 36K oil reserve lasted a grand 4 months or so since September 39.
Some tips for Germany I think are: Don;t do night misssions except interception, Don't move the Panzers too often (if possible). What else, puppet Romania before anyone else can. Make a plan to release Baku into Georgia puppet. Might have to use the good old boots to get there though!

As Germany, I use an Infantry-heavy army, with no more than 24 Armor (often less). I put as many Oil-using units as possible under Logistics Wizards, even in preference to Panzer Leaders. Logistics Wizards use 25% less Supplies and Oil.
With canny pre-war trading, it's possible to start the war with an Oil reserve of over 100,000 units... or more.

Ya, i'm about to invade the SU with 350k units of oil stored up. I've got 36 armor divisions and about 60 Mot + about 90 vanilla inf.
We shall see what happens, normally I only go for vanilla inf + armor and later I start to fill out my panzer armies with mechanized divisions to spread the panzer loving around. I hope I don't run out of oil! ;p
The soviets look to have a fair wack of divisions as I play with + 40 manpower/IC for AI countries. They are sitting at a cool 500ish IC or so ;p
In the multiplayer game I'm in, SU has 3200 manpower in 39, insane 170k+ oil.
In late 39 I'm wondering if I should boost IC by a whole 20 points by investing 100 IC in it so that by late 40 I'm in a better position IC wise... to go MOT... BUT then I can't build more tanks to be ready i time, and I really want to build STRs. USSR can outproduce any country specially with a human opponent. So I want something which can strike at their IC. Also I'd like to attach some SP-ART to my 105 or so vanilla INF, make some MTN for my future Scandinavia puppet and then I'm done.
Thoughts ? And how can I boost my oil depot now, in Nov 39 ?
