The Japanese AI is suddenly having a lot of success with its subs under 1.6 and I'm losing AO's fast. I'm wondering why I can't use TK's as replenishment vessels when forming a replenishment TF?

Will it work just as well to form a TK transport TF and use the refuel at sea option button in the same way replenishment Tf's work?

Too bad I disbanded the TF for my opponents. 1000 GP bombs tend to do that. Gotta protect those oilers (or at least don't sail them within bombing range of Midway).

Mine spent fuel and PPs to refuel TFs, had in one moment a TF at Noumea that first refueled from TK and then refueled from port, but had done refueleing with AKs at sea

fuel from the AK's bunker (or any ship with large bunker) can be transferred to other ships via replenishment at sea. I doubt that the "fuel in storage as cargo" was unloaded to fuel the other ships.

Yes, but to refuel my CV TFs or Bombard TFs I need to know I can refuel from a TK or AK's cargo. I don't think siphoning the tanks of a couple of gunboats is going to enough!
