RE: Allied Oil

Post by RUPD3658 »

While we are on this topic, is there a way to set a TF to go to a base, refuel, and then go to it's destination?

Currently to avoid Jap air power I set my convoys from San Francisco to go to Suva, not unload then return to Sydney. I set the opposite for the return trip.

I see that when the AI hijacks my ships it sets them to refuel at a base then go to another base. Is there a way I can do this?

dont think it can be manually selected. player toggable options include changing from human to computer control, which if its a transport TF with a destination will revert to CS. You can also toggle the refuel/Do not refuel toggle.

Didn't I just read that your KB sank a ton of Kid's shipping at Brisbane? Maybe he's short on shipping and would benefit from my threads?

Hey, all I'm saying is that the benefit of shipping oil to oz is that you get both supply and fuel from it. If you don't want to deal with it, then it will probably not affect your game in the slightest. It's just another option in a vast game. (plus you get to see the cool pink font)

yep, that was the one. Managed to suprise him there. Dont recall how many i got. Probably not alot given they were in a large port and that really makes it hard to sink Allied ships but plenty of damage to make numerous ships unservicable.
