Default Re: How Do You Defend Against

Probably something to do with your fleet formation and the strategies of your fleet and ships. I figure you're using simultaneous turn resolution, so you don't see the actual combat as it happens? You can still watch the combat to try and figure out what went wrong - look for a "Combat Replay" button that goes with each log entry for combat. (So if you get a log entry telling you that 8 of your fine battleships were destroyed by 4 enemy escorts, click the Combat Replay button to watch the combat and figure out what went wrong.)

What formation are you using? Have you set ships to break formation in combat? What strategies are your ships assigned?

I'm also a newbie and have been going through some of the same frustration of apparently superior ships being defeated by apparently inferior ships - the replay has been a big help in trying to figure out how it happens.
