How to interpret production figures?

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

How to interpret production figures?

Post by gradenko2k »

According to the manual, the build limit of a factory determines the maximum size of any one vehicle/plane factory.

That is, the T-34 M1941, which has a build limit of 75, does NOT mean that the number of T-34 M1941's produced per turn caps out at 75, but rather that each individual T-34 M1941 factory can expand to build a maximum of 75 per turn, so if there were 3 of such factories, the maximum would be [75 * 3] or 225 per turn, but this of course depends on how many factories there are, the starting level of each factory, and how damaged the factories are on their way to repairing and expanding.

What I'd like to know is:

1. Is there a way to quickly find out the number of factories of any single vehicle, to get an insight on this theoretical maximum?

2. How do we compute for lend-lease vehicles? The SU-57, for example, has a build limit of 4 and the production runs from 1943/04/01 to 1944/10/31, or roughly 82 turns. 82 turns at 4 vehicles per turn comes out to 328 total, which is about half of the 650 that the Soviets actually received historically from the US, but then I don't think lend-lease units have factories?

If you open the production screen, you can click on the individual tank/aircraft/whatever and it lists all the factories producing it, and also the upgrade paths.

As for the SU-57: There are two lend-lease production sites (north and south), so the production of SU-57 is 8 per turn, which would come out to 656 in 82 turns.
