Weapons Stockpiles?

[Deadboykilla]

Hi All,

Does anyone know if you can stockpile weapons (tanks or planes included)? or is it that anything that is not used is just wasted?

This would be very handy when your about to switch out production for a new model and forfeiting the bonus to get with long time production.
Stockpile enough to offset the lower production

Thanks

You can stockpile equipment whether it infantry, tanks or whatever. Since planes aren't put in actual division they get thrown in "reserves" which essentially just means you haven't put them in an airfield yet and they are off map waiting to be deployed. So ya you can keep a bunch of equipment in reserve before you change to a new production to offset the reduction in efficiency and prevent having a shortage

You can stockpile anything you can build equipment wise including obsolete planes and ships I believe though not sure where or if a stockpile of planes/ships actually shows up and I believe lend-lease them if you want. Again I haven't specifically seen the mechanism for shipping them to someone else as I think they only showed Daniel parsing out some of his production to Japan but not his stockpile say of Inf Weapons 1 while updating his units with Inf Weapons 2.

Yes, you can stockpile equipment.

You should read the developer diaries. Here

The Logistics screen shows all your surpluses and deficits of the different equipment types quite nicely too.

Is there any limit of how much equiptment you can stockpile?

Probably not, but there is no advantage to stockpile insane amounts of stuff that will go obsolete before it gets used. Better to build newer stuff

Equipment are basically the resources of HOI4 and there is no limit how much you can stockpile.

However if you don't plan for war in the near future you may be better of focusing on developing your economy as equipments and ships fo go obsoloete which never happen with factories.

Or you go for the tactic of "a not mentioned nation" and build tons of everything and go all in...

Also, as a side note, I believe a country that capitulates gives "part" of it's stockpile to the winner.

Devs have said that when country capitulates you get part of their stockpiles. So after conquest of poland you end up with bunch of their weapon,tanks, etc and so on. And that has also been mentioned that you could choose in template or some where that if you want to use captured equipment for those troops. So you can have troops which have all kinds of different captured equipments in it.

Interesting, so my garrisons/MPs could get the out of date captured equipment from all the little countries.

That's the way I understood it.
