Fighter Techs speed increments reduced from ~150 km/h to ~70 km/h to compensate

Doubled Cost of Planes across the board
Fuel Cost multiplier for ALL missions: 0.35 -> 0.7
Air Base Capacity p/lvl 200 -> 100
Carrier Deck Size p/ module 20 -> 15

Anti-Air Targeting Chance 0.07 > 0.05

Tweaks to SOV and GER air localization, still need to do Allied ones

Added "Undeveloped Oil Export Economy" idea for ROM at the start which gives -20% research of Synthetic Tech, can be removed after in faction with GER
Added focus for GER to confiscate the Romanian oil in Muntenia as failsafe for dumb ROM
Made Oil/Rubber focuses non-exclusive for GER since the fuel consumption changes are drastic
Nerfed GER Oil Synth Idea to +40% per refinery
MEFO Air Cost Reduction for fighters -20% to -15%
Fuel Ref tech Refinery bonus +10% -> +25%

Reduced Combat Log Max Months to 36 as it may improve performance slightly later on
Event Process Offset 30 -> 40, large performance increase at the cost of event checking

South Africa cannot take over the colonies until ENG is at war, done to prevent games from unbalancing early on due to losing too many civs from US trade


Overall the rework should make the Middle East and Asia more important as the oil there will give the Axis the possibility of fielding more planes for longer.
If unable to do so they will be forced to run a burst superiority focused air war, or an interception focused one which consumes 80% less fuel than superiority, from 1941 onwards.
This may vary depending on how much they stockpiled before the war.
Balance is aimed at Axis struggling to go beyond Aviation Fuel 3 without a large stockpile or either Asia or Africa.

This rework is WIP and please notify of any broken balance aspects or changes that have not been made to reflect the amount of planes.
GFX still needs to be done for new techs.
