>Especially if not much units can be produced.
Besides France's overall middling manpower, there's the fact that you always have limited manpower in peacetime and only get a lot when you mobilize, so it makes sense to build IC, planes and ships (not the latter in France's case) aswell as upgrades and elite divisions and leave the infantry hordes for later. A turtling France can afford to spam infantry only after the war breaks out and they have a lot of manpower, as they have a time window until Germany invades on the west. But in your booming strategy it's a bit more complicated, as overrunning Germany in 1939 requires overwhelming force and that may require some pre-war infantry production.
>Most of Frances units start out with only skeleton crew and those has to be reinforced too
They're skeleton crews just because they're demobilized. Once you mobilize they'll be immediately brought to full strength for just a small price of dissent and supplies, the reinforcements slider is superfluous in peacetime.
>If you build it at the beginning of the game it will pay off.
The figure I've read (though it was for Hoi3) is that they pay off in 5 years, I'll have to see if it's the same in DH. For a 1936 start with a war in 1939 they'll likely won't pay off until the war is underway, though in a 1933 start I guess it'll work.
