This is how the missions work - when you click "request mission" in the brief room - a new layer is loaded into the campagn that can do anything - missions/refuel/triggers etc. This is how I made the refuel attack work in MG.
The downside of this is it is a lot of work for one off happenings. So a workaround would be to make a template mission with dated named refuel and paste this info into every mission script for the campaign in question.

We have only to choice wich ones of the units featured in SH5 + OHII are more suitable for standing in for the various WWII German supply ships I've listed a few posts back.
Some of them, like the auxiliary cruiser Pinguin and the Dithmarschen class tanker are already there. Some other (Belchen, Charlotte Schliemann, etc.) have been created for SHIII, and Uekel might have convertet them for SH5 yet...

Im not sure if we can make new ones - it would be good to have a new section for sully ships etc

There should already be a specific unit type for supply ships:
Type100=Replenishment
We can try to add new types, but I suspect that they are somehow hardcoded in game: I remember that there were some issues changing unit types for ships inported from SHIV. IIRC, if they were assigned to the wrong type, they couldn't be heard on hydrophone
Anyway, what would be the problem if the cloned supply units are spawned as well in the regular German traffic, other than not being able to refit from them?
