For support ship reloading: There is a "bubble" around your carrier. Any ship close enough to the carrier will automatically pull from your storage to reload and refuel themselves.
Few comments Atova, first off, the trick with the new "super" enemy naval units is twofold. One, make sure they are in shallow water, or the torpedoes will usually miss (if they connect while the enemy ship is on a big wave, they go under). That mechanic BTW also works in your favor if the torpedoes are coming at you. Second, you have to be undetected. If they aren't moving, and in shallow water, torpedoes are just as effective as they used to be. If they are active, you have to get your timer almost exactly right to get through the enemy noisemakers (they spam the hell out of them), but the only reliable way I've found to kill active enemy navy is rocket mantas, obviously useless in the early part of a run. Early on, if detected, I usually just retreat to another island. I've heard that minigun'd razorbills (with flares) can do the job, but I never do that, too risky when you can't replace 20mm autocannons. Second comment was on your noisemakers, your timer was set to 30 seconds, so it would only be active for 30 seconds, probably not long enough to make a difference. Third comment was on inventory, the "Barges" tab is the best place to get an overview of what is in transit to you, look for barges with a destination to your carrier, double click on them, and it goes straight to their inventory. I just keep barges on a round trip waypoint between the nearest island with critical resources and my carrier, then you can just order and forget. Fourth comment is resupplying the navy, if you are on the vehicle control screen (can't speak to the modded one, don't use), it will show a circle around the carrier when you hover over your naval unit where resupply occurs. It has to be pretty close (too close IMHO, needs balancing). In range, it will take your torpedoes/160 and fuel from carrier inventory to resupply. There will be a little icon over the ship while it is receiving stuff (I believe, it's been a while).
You COULD set each barge on a repeating route from an island, to you, and back to the island like you set circular routes with planes. It's just that the repeating route will look like a straight line, but it will still do it forever. Then, it doesn't matter, you just look at what is in stock, select what you want, and the appropriate barge will gather from the appropriate island and bring it to you.
Others have already mentioned but I'll reiterate some, however I want to point out that you are playing a multiplayer game solo. That's not easy and adding an extra plate to spin in live commentary is a lot to handle (as that hit you took at 20 minutes in should have told you.) There's a time to pour over logistic problems and that wasn't it. Complaining about tasks that are hard being hard is a bit of a downer. Admit that this is a challenge that you can do better at in time. Barges and resupply are better now, trust us. You don't need a barge per island; group three or four important islands together and make a supply loop. Four enemy ships can be tricky but you've got some good advice already here. Also all ships have a blind spot in their rear so if a swordfish shows you their bum that's the one time you can land a cruise missile on them. Coordinate your combined arms. Your other craft can fire torpedoes from just as far away as the carrier and the AI is competent doing so. Remember those go codes? Flank them from different angles at the same time. Placing the Needlefish waypoint on your carrier not only resupplies them, but they also follow as well. Should be your default when between islands. Also use a following waypoint with your Needlefish. Keep them together on a lead ship when away from your carrier. Saves time and protects them if they have mixed weapons. Use delays for your torps. You don't have to get the math perfect as there are too many variables to be super precise but you're surrendering that benefit by not even trying. You're not going to outpace the AI carrier. Just not going to happen playing solo. You also don't need to outpace it. Capture what's valuable to you and focus on the end goal. Firing a noisemaker directly back at an oncoming torpedo and remaining stationary doesn't create much angle of deflection. You want a torpedo to go one way while you go another. Moving the ship is your first defense against torpedoes. Anyway, thanks for the content. Hope you feel more confident about the juggling you do, or maybe better yet, impress a new recruit.
Haven`t tried this myself... but maybe you can reload/refuel the needlefish with your barges. I have both Carrier Command versions, but no disk drive for version 1 :)

Amazing tips there, thank you very much for the detailed reply and my apologies for taking so long to reply. Thanks pal 👍

Whoa that bombardment at 20:50 was a big surprise!
Yeah, caught me by surprise 😂
Yeah, a Manta equiped with some rocket pods can be really nasty. Sadly there's no automatic mode for the AA. :(
My needle fish are reloaded by draging their way point onto the carrier

Wonder if that’s possible! Yeah CC1 would be a good reward 😄
nice
Krellan Commander 2 release... will you play it? Not for the views, obviously 😅
For a couple of weeks before release I did almost 100 hours 😂. Just didn’t record any of them as I lost all my progress
Where's the next vid
Work life caught up with me and felt a little burnt out on it. Solo life is hard on this game
I send that a month ago bro AND NOW YOU HAVE JUST SEEN IT 🥺🥺🥺
@@christopherfox7650 Sorry my dude! I do this as a side thing when I get free time for it.
