what is the battle ratio?

[MeowThai]

so.. my whole 25 ship fleet is in the area
but the enemy can manage to get my only 4 ships against their 20 ships...
next turn same area same numbers.. enemy can get my 5 ships and their 13 ships..
never happened to me like this...

so how the AI decide these random battles?!

Probably this battle is not for your Task Force but is a battle generated by ships operating from your ports?

Yes, those cannot, they are sent for repairs/refit and will return to the task force when ready.
They should be in the nearest port up to 1 turn distance, are they?

yes they are.

im pretty sure the enemy gets my ships from my invading force.

PS: i just noticed that i have 1 ship CL just staying in 1 port. but i dont think thats the case. checked all ports 2 times
PS2: not sure will help you or not but this is 1895

You can't put all 25 ships in 1 task force. Your commander can't handle that many crew (Max 21000 and that is 1895, perhaps you have only 5000 max)

Your enemy caught 1 of your task force that consist only 4 ships and launch a surprise attack.

Too bad UAD can't have reinforcement join battle halfway, so your caught ships can only fight on their own.

i was talking about total amount around the invasion area. and they are split equal

[cyan027]

Yes I know. Several of your task force gathered in invading area and AI caught one of them.

Can anyone think of any occasion within, say, the last 120 years, where such a thing EVER happened? The only thing coming to my mind is the battle of Samar on october 25th of 1944, being part of the greater battle of Leyte Gulf.
What I would like to point out here is this:

Such occurances, while not being COMPLETELY impossible, are EXTREMELY rare and require VERY specific conditions and circumstances to actually happen. The campaign-AI, on the other hand, will have no problem at all to catch your partial-fleets practically EVERY turn - with NO preparation whatsoever, no serious blunders required on your part (as was the case with admiral Halsey and his handling of his overall forces at Leyte Gulf which led to the battle of Samar as it took place)... Therefore, I consider this sort of "mission" under the circumstances a really terrible misrepresentation of modern naval combat.

[cyan027]

UAD will try to balance the total tonnage of both side. So UAD will pick up taskforce(s) that mostly match your opponent's total tonnage. But your task force will NOT be disbanded.

As task forces, they form up when leaving port. But they will NOT be merged together even they stay together in sea and shown like a big group.
