How do you make air wings use new planes? (by blood alone)
As the tile says, im not sure how to upgrade planes. got a new CAS model using Advanced frame yet my wings keep using the planes i made in 1936...

You probably have a difference in the weapon types on your new CAS model. If your original CAS only has the external bomb rack, but your new CAS model has the external bomb rack and guns or the CAS bomb bay, then it is a new CAS type which won't update the original.

In other the words the roles for the plane going into the wing have to match EXACTLY.

This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ plane thing is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid. I was hoping it be more fun but its just more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to Min/max and Micro....

For the first 12 hours of playing the new DLC I kept looking at my fighters and CAS Squadrons and wondering why the hell are they not replenishing.

I ended up having to litterally Wipe out my Entire Airforce and start fresh just because you can assign wings to use new equipment because this fighter has X but my fighter has only Y


Same thing with the Tank Designer. It isnt fun after playing with it. It's just more Min/Max Micro BS. The ships it kinda made sense but with Tanks and planes it's just annoying.

Did you meddle with the equipment tag? Don't. A wing wiill only replenish with equipment htat wears its own tag.

The tag is likely not the issue for most as keeping the available missions same and in case of bomber types 100% matching weaponry which is not super intuitive (as CAS-CAS is not enough but also CAS-bomb CAS-cannon are not inerchangable for example)

I had a CAS Plane "Breda.88"
Fighter -> 2 Engine -> Small Bombbay -> Bomb Mounts.
Upgraded it later into Fighter -> 2 EngineII -> Small Bombbay -> Rockets

Wouldn't replenish.....couldn't "upgrade" old models....

And I mean I used the Breda.88 and upgraded...
I didnt get the 1940 fighter model and the Breda was 1936. It was the same 1936 model, I just changed the parts.....but yeah...Stupid poorly tested DLC.
