I've just run into a problem:
It seems to me that milk cows basically operated in the Atlantic between April 1942 and November 1943. Attacks along the US coast basically stopped by July 1942, and the action moved back into the North Atlantic. This means that Milk Cows for the Type VIIs were only really useful for three months during Paukenschlag. After that, any extra range was pretty useless except for going down to West Africa. I don't think even a resupplied Type VII could be sure of reaching the other main area of post-Paukenschlag operations (the Caribbean) at this time. So what we're left with is a feature that will get very little play indeed in the game. I'm just not sure whether it's worth the effort of changing all the patrol grids for the Type VII boats. The player will be so unlikely to get an extended patrol assignment that it just seems like a bunch of work for very little payoff.
