Formation Speeds

Are you sure they’re supposed to go this fast?

15000 ton pre-dreadnoughts, built for 15kn

What the heck.

For this photo I’m running NAR, but it has happened frequently with 20kn dreadnoughts in vanilla, too, and for basically any ship.

20 ship dreadnought division, plz nerf

I guess I could have supersonic bbs soon

It's a feature. When ships try to take the right place in a division, they may exceed the speed limit to catch up with the division. This was done in 1.10 beta IIRC.

This leads to this chaos when assembling large divisions, but on standard divisions (4) it works just fine.

I know it’s a feature, but they still had massive trouble trying to sort themselves out, just couldn’t avoid collisions even with avoid on. No Jutland battle line for me I guess, the last five ships just kept ramming into each other and doing donuts. The first ten or so vessels were fine.

Wonder what Target High Speed debuffs the enemy will get

So apparently collision avoidance just doesn’t work anymore, might be NAR at work, gonna see if that’s the case in vanilla.

You can order one division to "Follow" the other. This way you can make a stable battle line of a dozen ships from several small divisions. Such a formation will break up a bit when turning, but in general it will work fine.

Thank you!

Surprisingly the Target Fast Speed debuff is only 93% for 120 kn BB.
