Hello !

I would like, for the AI player, to have in a task force (so group in the game), some destroyers as escorts.
(so they move inside the TF to search for ASW contacts, or others underwaters contacts)

Of course, they will follow the task force, but won't be in the TF formation, as they are searching
for eventual contacts. the others ships (CV, ...) keep the formation.

What kind of mission i can make for this ships ? or is this automatically handled by the game ?

thanks !

One option is to put them in formation with the TF (even if they're not right next to it) and set them to "Sprint and Drift" for ASW operations.

Another is to make a box of reference points around the main TF, center them so they move with it, and set up a patrol with the escorts in there. (This has issues if the TF is moving too fast and the escorts slip out of the patrol area, but is technically doable).

Hello Coiler,

Thanks a lot for your answer.

i like the second solution !

Will give a try this evening !
