refueling a fleet

[justMike247]

Unscrew the deck caps, connect the hoses, open the gate valves and monitor the flow rate gauges... job done in a couple of hours or so per vessel when in port. So... why does it take multiple months to refuel a fleet? Months to repair damage, I can understand, but months to refuel?? Let me guess... 1930's tech = jerry cans and stirrup pumps, right?

Let me guess, not enough port capacity?

while that might be true for some smaller ports (5k tons max... seriously? that's not a port, it's barely a pier) it affected fleets sent to some larger ports too. It's details like this that seriously let the game down. Sure, logistics are a critical aspect of a campaign, but... infrastructure development runs hand in glove with that. It's damn near as frustrating as having dead time between political actions... definately as frustrating as having your own ships sunk with your own torpedoes...

Would definitely love a new slider in the Finances tab to allow for the port infrastructure and capacity instead of tying it to GDP.
