Career mode resources run out results in no additional supplies being delivered for the rest of the campaign

[ShamrockOneFive]

Ran into an interesting situation with career mode in IL-2 Series Korea that may constitute a bug.

I'm several missions in and still getting the grips with everything. My unit started to run low on fuel and other supplies so I made the maximum allowable amount of resupply requests to get us back into operation. The problem? An enemy air raid interrupted the delivery because we didn't have enough fuel to take off.

The first image attached is what my supplies looked like when submitting the request. The second image shows no supplies left and no resource requests remaining. At this point I can advance the date but I'm unable to launch any missions as no supplies will ever be delivered to enable a mission to be flown to generate the credit to request more supplies. Its kind of an endless loop. This is probably a grey area between bug and working as designed but it feels like there needs to be some sort of designed resolution for this. A failure or an emergency resupply to get you back up and running.

I think that advancing the date should also generate some credits.

It doesn't appear to be. I've advanced the date a dozen times with no new credits and no new supplies.

I'm talking about a change that I think should be made, not something that is already implemented.

Aside from fixing this no-win condition that seems unacceptable to me, it also seems more realistic for resources to be distributed partly based on the amount of missions assigned/performed by the unit, but also partly based on the passage of time. Because a base will also use resources if they don't fly combat missions.
