National Air Reserve

[robertkeller]

Playing Sov. Jan 1944...Production pool has, for example, MIG-3: 1996; Yak-1: 2591; LAGG-3: 2979...but I can't seem to use them....when I go to an air base with 4 units and hit "assign" it goes to the "Select Air Unit From National Reserve" screen...which is empty...no planes of any type. What am I doing wrong?

Your missing a step or two. Pressing the ASSIGN button assigns Air Groups to the Airbase not individual aircraft to the Airbase. If the 'Select Air Unit From National Reserve' window is empty then there are no ready Airgroups in the National Reserve to assign. If you send an existing air group to the NR you should next turn see it as being available to assign. Alternatively you can use the
'Build New Unit' button and create a new AG but it won't be immediately available until it's combat ready, usually a turn or two.
