Replacement question

RE: Replacement question
There may be a bug but I also suspect that there is an undocumented element in the replacement calculation. It probably handles its % calc in the same way as the recovery % in that it can range from zero to twice the nominal rate. So a replacement rate of 1% would correspond to 1% on average. I am guessing but the testing I have done always gives values within this range. Apart from this your calculations are the same as mine although I would express them without the conversion to and from Men:

Recovery:

8 vehicles = 8 x .04 x 2 = .64

This gives a maximum of 1 vehicle.

Replacements:

96 vehicles = 96 x .02 = 1.92 

This gives a maximum of 2 vehicles.

So, 3 in total should be the highest number possible. I have tried repeatedly to replicate your result but only ever get 0, 1 or 2 vehicles on every attempt. I am using a quality A vehicle unit with 8 losses and a full strength of 96. I have used the J46 OOB and PDT. While I never got a value of 3 vehicles on a single turn, this is not surprising as the probability for this is low. 

To get a value of 5 vehicles, as you did, suggests that unless you happened to hit the maximum possible value, then even higher values are potentially possible. This is not consistent with my tests so there must be some important difference that is being missed. Any ideas?
