Field Supplies

Does dropping the field sups close to a hangar help to resup that hangar?  or does it just apply to the field as a whole?

No.

Only auto ack, town buildings, radar, barracks, ammo bunkers, fuel tanks can be resupplied on a base. Resupply radius is, if I recall correctly, about one mile.

From the Help page:

Supply drops     Back to the top

The C-47, LVT(A)-2, SdKfz 251 and M-3 have the capability to drop supplies on a damaged field or strategic resource to shorten the downtime.  These object supplies will repair all resupplyable objects in a one mile radius from the point where the supplies land.  The supplies are selected as a loadout option in the hangar and .25 perk points are awarded to the player who dropped the supplies for each object that is affected by the resupply.  You cannot resupply the field from which you started your sortie.  Field supplies must be flown or driven in from another field.

Field Supplies remove 10 minutes of downtime from destroyed objects at airfields and 4 minutes of downtime from destroyed factories.
