The CV division in the image is on line ahead formation, but as you can see they are scattering to the four winds while their escorting DDs hang out around the one ship that is the center of the formation. I;ve mentioned this before in earlier versions, but whatever you did to try to fix it apparently hasn't worked.

The flanking carriers took up position 10-15K yards from their squadron leaders.

They're still trying to use Screen formation, too.

Thanks, we'll look into this.

Here's another one: the two carriers are in line ahead formation, but the trailing ship is 23 NM from her division leader and headed in the opposite direction (and towards the nearest enemy ship - luckily, only a hapless DD about to be blown up).

I noticed that this division started the scenario in the illegal Screen formation and thus I was not able to give them any orders at the beginning of the scenario (they are locked in their starting formations for several turns at the beginning and any attempt to change formation, give CAP orders, etc., is met with the error message "formation screen is illegal for CV's" and no other changes can take place). Maybe it is still trying to do a screen even though it has changed to line ahead?
