Quick question, If I read the manual correctly when your using auto convoy system are not the ships supposed to load resources and oil after they unload the supplies?

So far I have yet to see it happen and end up just paying attention and catching the convoys as they leave and loading them up before sending them back to Osake.

And just making sure as long as there are rail connections the computer will move the resources and oil where there supposed to go yes? Asking because I see some odd pile ups in certain provinces.

Don't know, never used the auto-convoy system.

Correct. You don't even need rails, roads and trails do the trick, too. However you will lose a small amount of oil/res during overland movement. Details here:

The auto-convoy system is hosed up. Don't count on the ships to haul oil & resources for you. If you really want to use the system, just use it for rear area bases and do the oil & resource hauling yourself.

I been trying to use the auto convoy system and it is broke....When it sends AKs to pick up resources, it picks up supply instead

....it would save alot of micro managing if it did work....
