Do planes and ships cost manpower and gain experience? From what I could gather from the stream, it was pretty unclear. The same applies to experience. Do they get this?

I'm pretty sure Denkt spotted in the latest or second-latest WWW that aircraft and ships now cost manpower as well, if that helps.

Yes, planes and ships use up manpower. I dont know what you mean with "do they cost experience" tho, but i guess you mean if you can spend expeirence on them to improve them? If so, the answer is yes. Ships and planes can be improved in different areas than tanks for example of course and even different classes get different aspects to improve of course.

And 'gain' experience. Is what I meant.

Good catch, fixed it!

airwings dont gain experience on a traditional way, no. They have a chance of generating aces, which will boost the airwings stats and also will increase your national unity. They can gain experience and level up as far as i know, but dont quote me on that. They can, however, be shot down and you will loose national unity because of that. They can also be swapped between similar airwings, i.e Fighter Ace to fighter airwings of course.

Ships, however, gain experience and can level up. Fleets also have admirals which can level up of course and give bonuses just like with generals. Note that in this example, there is no admiral assigned. You can see the little clover beside each ship tho which is their experience level, just as with land divisions aswell. The black bar besides that is the experience bar, which will fill up if they gain expeirence and once full they will of course, again like land divisions, increase one rank.

If you hold over the manpower icone in the top bar you can actually see how much manpower each field of your country's fighting force use.
Like:
  • 500 000 serve in the army
  • 100 000 serve in the airforce
  • 250 000 serve in the navy
