I personally try to build 6, 12, or 24 at a time, this is mostly for the organisation and neatness as 6x4 and 12x2 both equal a full 24 division army without putting too much strain on the stockpile.

Generally how you deploy units will change depending on your situation.

If you're at war or expect to be at war soon it's best to only train units in amounts that allow you to keep a ready stockpile, however, if you're not at war and don't expect to be at war soon emptying the stockpile is much more acceptable.

As many full divisions as you can but you also have to be mindful of the losses in manpower you will get when they are in combat (unless you commit to using field hospitals)

yep same, some multiple of 24 as equipment stocks allow

If you are Luxembourg 1, if you are USSR, 24 or more.

Can confirm. In 1936? ~6 troops in the queue, more or less depending on starting armies. (i.e. filling out an army that is missing 7 divisions)

Late game USA with 300,000 guns in the stockpile? I’ll do 24 or 48 divisions at a time. 72 for garrison divisions.

For larger countries, I find adding 5 per month ( or multiples thereof) convenient.
Staggering the training is pretty handy /w supply issues - having a bunch of divisions not yet assigned to a task eating eachother into starvation is unpleasant. Sorting out where 5 or 10 must go is not burdensome.
