How the **** do I convert old equipment!?!
The game used to have a button on the production line before waking the tiger, and it is gone. I can't even find a page about it in the wiki for **** sake.

if you have a deficit in your stockpile your production will fill the deficit first and then it will convert the older equipment

So when I sit on a stockpile of 100K, it will convert all these into newer models?

if those or part of those 100k are older equipment, yes it will

Unless you dont use mods. You can NEVER upgrade Guns & Artillery. You can only Upgrade T1-2 tanks to a T3 Verriant (ex tank destroyers)

so all your light tank I will remain T1 unless you convert them to light tank II anti-air and so on. You cant convert a light tank I to light tank II.
There is a mod that alows that though.

yeah I have never been able to get this to work, you only seem to be able to convert an extremely limited set of things

Logic is dead, and paradox killed it.

Don't convert anyway!

Send your unwanted junk to Ethiopia / Spain / China for the Army XP!

It does auto convert.
If while producing medium tanks, you upgrade that version of tank. It will upgrade any surplus stock you have. So Medium tank 2, will be converted to medium tank 2 A1.
If you do not have any stock piles, the new A1 tank will be produced in it's own right and fill the gaps before any converting is done.

The symbol in the production screen will turn green when it's converting.

It won't give you a message or any other indication it's converting rather than producing.

you still have to change the production line to the new variant for a small efficiency hit.

if you are producing a variant and you have a stockpile of the same model but an inferior variant, the convert button in the production line window gets clickable.

Yes sorry, it's not 'auto' but when the simble goes green, click it and a tick will appear.
