Production efficiency.

[seldon]

I was wondering if anybody had a good summary for the penalties for switching factories.

I've read that use lose 25% if you switch from say a PZIV to a variant .
50% if you use the same chassis
75% if you keep making medium tanks

How long does it take for a factory that switches from tank to tank destroyer tget back to full productions, a few weeks, a few months, or more than a year?

Do all nations benefit from the same experience curve? and what is the percentage?

What about Airplanes is 25% for the same variant, how about the newer model. What's the penalty from switching from fighter to heavy fighter? how about fighter to 4 engine bomber?

What about other equipment.
If you research infantry weapons II do all of your factories automatically switch to making the newest.? Do they lose any efficiency?

It's in the wiki.

Changing a production line to a related type of equipment cancels production of the current, incomplete, unit and also reduces its efficiency depending on how drastic the change is.

• -10%: Different variant of the same model (e.g. Panzer III Ausf. F -> Panzer III Ausf. G)
• -50%: Different model of the same chassis or airframe (e.g. Panzer III -> StuG III)
• -70%: Different unit of the same family (e.g. Panzer III -> Panzer IV)
• -80%: Different unit of the same archetype (e.g. Panzer IV -> Tiger)

During WWW we could see, that if you are making weapons II and research weapons III, you have to manually switch production - with some efficiency lost...
When you are switching to any other production than a variant of already produced in that factory equiptment, you lose all additional efficiency i think...

But i could be wrong - those all only my observations from WWW...

EDIT: And Ricard answered before me, with a lot more knowledge than i did...
