I don't know what you did but the battles are better. The ai formations are great. I ran into a organized battle line. Split it up and killed it piecemeal. I only lost a DD but the battle was so much better. I also pasuse to pass orders. I formed two lines and had DDs wreck havoc on line. First time had a great battle. Playing Germans 1900, fighting French, go figure! For once the ai is using subs against me. Actually trying to disrupt invasion. I sunk 2 with loss of CL and DD. First time I saw a sub sink. Thanks Nick great game. Only have trouble mounting small guns when it seems they should as per their real counterparts. But I read this will be fixed. Also can you consider a dlc to go to war with minors, or even play them. Just a thought.
