German gun production

Post by MechFO »

I've seen it in other cases as well but the extreme discrepancy in 8.8 Flak production prompted me to take another look at various production figures. Unless otherwise stated numbers include inventory on 1.Sep 1939 to 31.12.1944 (Turn 185). I chose 31.12.1944 as the end date as 1945 figures are dependant on historical allied progress as the major industrial centres were taken. The breakdown should be driven over the economic system, not pre baked into the production numbers. This should also apply to the other production items but that is for another day.
All info from https://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/in ... isHeer.htm

Barrel numbers (so production for flak vierling would need 4 barrels)

2cm Flak 30/38= 114'801 + 2809 for Railways
3.7cm Flak 18/36/43 = 17'644
8.8cm Flak 18/36/38 = 18'869
10.5cm Flak 38/39= 3'953
12.8cm Flak 40 = 1'027

Game production only, theoretical max that will not be achieved in practice
2cm Flak + Quad + SdKfZ10/4, 7/1= 162x185= 29'970
3.7cm Flak= 60x185= 11'100
8.8 Flak= 25*185= 4'625
105 Flak=10*185=1'850
128 Flak= 5*152=760

I didn't bother with going after what is in which units since the discrepancy is so high. I'm well aware there were various uses of production that can't be modelled in the game, 2cm and to more limited extent 8.8 Ortsflak, Kriegsmarine etc., however it's share of production can be nowhere near what is missing here. The drought of 8.8 in the midgame should not be happening.

Production till end 1944 (incl. up to Sep 39)

105 leFH 18 11'792
105 leFH 18/40 10'265 (part of that in 1945)
105 leFH captured (127+676+?)

10cmSK 17/18 2135
10cmFK 35t captured ?, ammo production 42-45 was 5-10% of that for 10cmSK18

15cm sFH 6'355
15cm sFH 25t captured 219
15cm sFH 37t captured 1'178

15cmK16/18/39 22+101+64= 187
17cm 335
21cm K38-54 58 (80-22 sold to Sweden)

21cm M18 718

Game max production (actual production will be lower)

105 leFH 5790+220+185*55= 16'185 + 680 from Wespe

10cmSK 18 447+ 185*5= 1'372

15cm sFH 2262+60+185*15= 5'097

15cmK39 69+4+50*1= 123
17cmK 4+185*1= 189
21cmK 38-54 not in game

21cm M18 351+185*2= 721
