Im clueless here, im trying to load oil to redistribute to SF and forth , the base has some 20.000+ in stock so it should be no problem, however my tanker (tested both Tk and AO) just sits saying loading turn after turn with zero loaded. I have no other ongoing loading missions at that base.

I am grateful for any help in this matter.

Thanks!

It should load oil at Los Angeles, but you shouldn't need to move oil around. Manufacturing industry uses fuel rather than oil now. The only places where you want oil is places with refineries. The game is also pretty efficient about shipping fuel, oil, resources, and supply across the built up rail network in the US.

It is in March of 1942 of my PBEM and I am trying to load one tanker of oil in LA and like vils above, nothing happens. I agree, it is not a big thing, I just wanted to see what would happen. Nothing happens.

Los Angeles has a lot of industry and may have a high "minimum required oil". I believe it is somewhere around 25,000. Bases will generally hold on to the minimum required values of oil and resource and not allow them to be loaded onto TFs.

Not sure if the minimum is displayed anywhere. Could be a space issue on the screens.

Ok, that makes sense in that I have less than 21k oil there.

I saw something similar trying to ship resources to Pearl Harbor from LA, as suggested by the manual appendix: no loading. I eventually gave up and started shipping resources from Hilo to Pearl with one little AK (which has to be escorted, or a sub will promptly torpedo her).
