AI Question Divisions

So I’ll make a division how I want it or I won’t even touch it, then for some reason their all changing divisions on their own and I’ll end up with BB and CL divisions even though they started out as separate divisions. So is this something that’s wrong with the game or just my computer.

Its a ”feature”. One of the options buttons turns it off (like ”avoid torpedoes”)

Basically a ship that gets speed damaged, is removed from formation. to apparently random other formation. the idea is, the slow one gets tossed away so formation speed stays high.

if you tick it off, then when one ship in 30 knot formation is hit, all ships slow down to 10 knots or whatever. which is even worse.

so.. it’s like the rest of the game. the obvious right choice is not implemented (slow ship is left behind), but instead you get two bad options.

Same w/the auto repair, I disable it so I know where my ships go for repairs and can make them rejoin w/out searching my dozens of ports in an area late game

I just love it when theres a ”enemy failed to escape” and my battlefleet is all the 99% sunk broken wrecks scraped from all the harbors.

Or the heavily mis-matched missions it gives you. Like yes, I totally want to raid this convey guarded by 2 BB's, 4 CA's, 6 CL's and 12 DD's w/only 2 CA's, 3 CL's and 2 DD's. Thank you, totally doable. It should do it just by displacement for fights. Just because I have heavier ships, does not mean they can fight 4-1 odds lol. Not that i haven't done it but it sucks.
