Different factory levels - still able to build heavy tank mk 5?

[Rhabarberbarbar]

Let's assume my first factory has level 7 and I have already researched heavy tank mk5. My second factory has level 3. It can build heavy tank mk3 already. Will I then be able to build heavy tank mk5 in both of my factories or will I end up with mk3 in one factory and mk5 in another factory? In other words, do both factories need to be upgraded to level 7 to be able to build heavy tank mk5 in both of them simultaneously?

they should both be able to make mk5

I've had factories of different levels in the past. You cannot build troops of a certain level unless you haven't upgraded the building accordingly. So you can build MK5 tanks only in one of your factories. The other factory will throw a message saying you need to upgrade your factory first. Unless you don't upgrade the second factory too, you'll only be able to build heavy tanks with only one factory.

As soon as your factory level has unlocked specific troop type (e.g. Heavy Tank in this case), you can train the highest level of that troop according to the research done in the armory. Simply said, you can train HT Mk6 in a level 3 factory when you have HT Mk6 research done (this means that your second factory has to be level 8, however, so you meet the research requirement of the HT Mk6).

I can confirm now, after researching HT MK4, it's possible for me to build HT MK4 in my level 3 factory as well. So centurion96 is spot on.
