Fleet Manoeuvres - Questions

[asheshouse]

I've been using my 10min with the 3rd Battle Squadron to try out Divisional manoeuvres.

I am struggling to operate "turn in succession" with the BB division. I can turn each ship on its own but "turn in succession" doesn't seem to do much. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly.

To create some mayhem I ordered one of the destroyer divisions to turn together and cross through the battleline. Possibly not a wise move. However the collision avoidance seemed to work very well -- except it was the battleships which manoeuvred to avoid collision while the destroyers just sailed gracefully through the line without a care. Perhaps the BB's should have precedence in a situation like this.

Overall, really impressive. Handling a large fleet action looks like its going to be a challenge. I can see multi-player really scoring here.

Maybe you selected all of your ships in the division? Select the leader only and let him "turn in succession", the other ships will follow.

Found out what I was doing wrong. You need to right click when you set the turn direction not left click. Then define "turn in succession" then they all turn ok.

Any smart ways to ensure that divisions of destroyers on port and starboard keep the correct station position when you turn the BB Division or do you just have to work through each division manually to get it back into position?

IMHO you have to select the entire formation by drawing a selection rectangle around them. But this is IMHO awkward. I would just LOVE if "guide on a division" could be working also as "maintain position in formation vs a division" - then it might be possible to keep the entire formation in order.
