Default Mod idea (call in supply tanker)

OK , i am using RSRDC and i was sent to the Luzon straits from brisbane in an sboat . There is no way i can have enough fuel . So my question is , seeing we now have an option to call in combat units (havnt done so in the pacific campaign and not sure if you can) . Can a mod be made to call in a supply tanker to refuel ?

After alot of trial and error, ive come to the conclusion that "tactical support" options are hardcoded to only work with the uboat addon campaign. If theres a trick to get them to work, i didn't find it.

So your supply tanker, would most likey be a standard sub tender, implemented as subtenders are prior to uboat add on.

What version RSRDC are you using ? That sounds like a bug that I corrected a while back

Maybe converting the possibility of having the auxiliary cruiser support ( not very historically accurate having FOUR auxiliary cruisers patrolling the infian ocean in 1944 ) The tanker support would be more historically accurate and more useful. Great idea!

And obviously avery time you run out of diesel and/or ammunitions. But can we really call in a replenishment vessel in game or not?
The long forgotten SH2 had this feature, if my memory serves me well..

Wasnt that a "milkcow mod" in SH2? I remember downloading it and using it, yet it was prone to some issues from time to time...

Man that was a long time ago...
