BATTLE GROUPS

Post by Terran1969 »

Hi all the screen shot below shows a battle group of 10 ships and 3 escort fighters there are 3 subs 2 capital 4 destroyers, 1 carrier and 3 fighters would it not be possible to have this stack move at the same speed no ship moves slower or faster than any of the other ships in the stack because my understanding of a battle group is that unless the group commander deploys a ship from the group the group stays together.

It dose not matter if i use a slow ship to patrol and have the other escort it or if i use the move at common speed command the ships still get strewn out if you send the stack on a journey or patrol and its worse when you assign an escort because the escort ship gets left behind even if its faster than the slowest ship i would like to see this stack stay as it is in the stack when moving from a to b eg as it is in the screenshot.
An yes this one is from shatter world but wether is Great war or in Ultimate id still like my groups to stay in there stack.

This has been an issue for sometime, I chose to ignore it and correct the fleet once it arrives at a way point. I believe it happens due to the units taking one hex different from others. Since diagonal direction changes have to follow a hex layout, if one takes hex B and one takes hex A that creates distance when the fleet steams in a straight line again. Compound that by multiple turns when you assign a long journey, especially when the path deviates to go around land formations, and it can really get strung out.

Is there not a way that when you form a group and stack them a bit like when a land unit turns into a ship could the goats not do something similar with battle groups you could group some units and they become 1 until disbanded, separated or the dock?

I just wanted my ships to stay in stack when they are on patrol there can be a max o 10 ships in a stack more than that and they auto split up.

Here it is being described how user PITCHBLACK created a "Division," using a supply truck
use a transport unit (I choose a supply truck) and vastly increase the cargo capacity and then use it as a division marker to move my units around in. Once I get to the fight I unload everyone and have a battle. After the battle is over I load everyone back up and it's off to the next site.
It is also conveyed that the same might be used for ships

I have tried for ground units, but not for ship or planes yet.
