Convoy Protection

[GoofyGooberYa]

Why doesn't it work? Everytime i send a naval invasion it gets completely wipped out by a few destroyers because my fleet doesn't do anything during the battle

is your fleet assigned to the relevant area?
Is your fleet capable of attacking the destroyers?

Yes, and outnumbers them but they just sit in the back and let the convoys get completely destroyed

[Mikey]

well it sounds like your fleet was unable to catch up to the enemy, by any chance was it a submarine fleet?

Naval was completely broken in the last patch.

A singular enemy ship may sink entire flotillas of convoys. Do not do naval invasions until enemy ship count is exactly 0.

In addition, one can simply max armor on battleships and not make any other ship type and still win against a comparable production cost fleet made up in a balanced and realistic manner.

This is exactly right.

Thanks, it really needs to be fixed. Convoy escort should mean the ships literally surround the convoys

That would make sense, given that this is historically exactly what "Convoy Escort" duty was/is.

comrade my advice is easy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ annihilate the enemy navy hunt them down to the last ship when they do have one ship left they can't do anything to prevent your navy and army from swarming them

If someone has a mouse next to their name it means they own the game.

In order to do a convoy escort successfully in this game you need ships that are faster than your enemy ships. Light cruisers/destroyers. The way the game works is your convoys are not being 'escorted' but simply wandering around unprotected. They get into contact with an enemy ship, and then your other ships rush to defend them but for the most part don't make it in time unless they're fast ships.

Another problem could be you naval invaded when your ships have gone into port to repair right before you clicked the button. It's helpful to start your convoy escort mission, wait to see if they've engaged any ships, and if not then send your convoys.

Edit: During the last patch the developers could have also made less relevant factors more relevant like radars and air control so your navy needs to be able to see everything in order to get less chances for convoys to interact with the enemy.

Has anyone tried using ONLY destroyers/light cruisers for convoy escorts and kept all other ship types out? Meaning you make a seperate fleet for convoy escorts and then also have another fleet for fighting purposes.

Always plays as china cause they have alot manpower to waste on anyting, including losing tons of convoys. Just keep sending those unending chinese soldiers over the sea til some of them do reach their destination.
