You have seen the potential and the pain of attacking ships with the B-17. If only those big bombs would hit, they would be so devastating. Unfortunately, hits are very hard to come by. In the actual war, B-17s sank almost no ships. In this game, I have occasionally seen them do the miraculous, like sinking a Yamato in a single strike. But mostly, you get what you saw --- minor damage and lost planes. B-17s do make good scouts, though.

If you stop before entering tactical combat, you can quickly change your ship formation. Line ahead is usually a good choice when faced with a submarine attack. Put your DD's at the front of the line. After entering tactical, select all ships, break formation, and put every ship hard over in the same direction at best speed. Do this, and you will almost never take a torpedo hit.

Do the ships teleport to be in a different position if you do that? Is it a bug or is it meant to work like that

[@devrossik]

@@Lite_lySalted The ships move immediately to the new positions. It's meant to work like that. This represents the ships' crews doing their jobs with outstanding efficiency!

You're having a grand old time with this one, which is great to see. Also like the game-appropriate replacements for the Yellow Plastic Ducky of Moral Rectitude 🦆🦆🦆

[@Lite_lySalted]

Indeed!

[@redletter45]

[@Lite_lySalted]

Glad you're enjoying it!

Nice start of the game for you.

[@Lite_lySalted]

Thanks

Regrettably, you cannot create new sea units anywhere except the New Hebrides. Remote ports give you two things: an improved detection of nearby enemies, and, if you get the port up to level 3, a place to rearm ships and replenish lost aircraft. Don't overlook the value of being able to rearm without returning all the way back to New Hebrides.
