Hay! Sry for my bad english! I started play now as Philipines, buffed them hard so they maybe even on 50-60% of Japan IC power, joined axis and started invasions on Indonesia. But sadly i have now also bad problem with Supplies. Also i dont lack fuel, or supplies on the top bar in game, and produciton is on AUTO, so AI schould alone creating supplies convoy, but to be honest, im lack of supplies and fuel even on my islands. I puted AI off, but when i wanted to "create convoy", the button "create supply convoy" is grey, and nothing can do there. Can any1 help with this please?? I cant now even defend my home teritory cuz most of devision out of "main island", are on 0 organization xd

Best Regards,

Above 'create convoy' there is a box labelled 'auto manage supply convoys' or something like that: Uncheck it.

mhm i did also supply convoy from Manilla, to south island of Phillipines, and then from this island to that island right of borneo, but neither my home territory, or occupy territory getting supplies :< is this anyhow possible to send for example 10k of my supplies right to any island? or can do it only with convoys?? and it is take long to give supplies when i create convoy? cuz they was earlier all red, on that bar where is writing fuel/supplies.

Sea born logistics was a nightmare in reality and is doubly so in the game.

Make sure you're researching the tech in Naval Doctrine that increases supply throughput for ports. That won't help immediately, but it should help over time.

I never mess with supply convoys so have no clue there. I hope things work out for you, though.

Check if you have free convoys. The number is above the list of trade / supply routes, on the left. If you have 0 convoys left you need to build more in the production screen.

If you have some left, you can check "auto maintain convoys / escorts" the system will replace dead convoys for you.

check if-noone is sinking your convoys-you actualy have convoys-level of port where you ship is high enough to supply whole island and units (even provinces themself eat little supplies). if nothing works, get transport planes and fly there supplies by air.

1. A port can send out multiple convoys, but only one convoy can arrive at a port. The amount of supplies that arrives is dicated by the Port level (hover the mouse pointer over the port, while in supply mode and it tells you how much it can handle).

2. The max amount of supplies that is allowed by the port level, always comes in on that one convoy assuming you have the full number of merchant ships in the convoy.

3. The procedure is
  • Click Create Convoy
  • Click Create Supply Convoy
  • Locate and click Source Port
  • Locate and click Destination Port
  • Click Create Convoy
  • Find the created convoy in the list and click on it
  • Add ships to the convoy
It sounds to me like you are not doing the last step. When you say the convoy shows as red, that means there are no supply ships. The UI will manage that bit if you have left it on, but if not you have to manually add ships. It will tell you how many supply ships you need to add, there is a figure such as 0/1, = assigned/max allowed. For short trips like you are describing, I would expect the max to be 1, you cannot add more supply ships beyond the max to increase the amount of supply through the port.

Note: It take 24 hours for the first convoy to arrive or rather after the clock goes through midnight. I believe the AI replaces lost ships after the clock has gone through midnight and thus any losses affect the amount of supplies received. But if you manually replace the sunken supply ship before midnight you will get the full supply for that day.

Sorry, that should have been sufficient number of convoys.
