nice vidéo question what difference between screen and support in role division I don't understand the difference

[@uefkentauroi]

Screen: the screening division will position itself in a screen formation (like a hand-held fan) just in front of the lead division (contrary to the scout role, where the scouting division is farther away in front of the lead division). Unfortunately I don't know much about this role, maybe it's purpose is to protect/screen the lead division from submarine torpedo attacks and provide heavy anti-air cover, but I don't know if it has any utility in a shooting contest between BBs. Support: the supporting division will position itself in a line ahead formation on the disengaged side of the lead division (if the enemy is on the left (port) side of the lead division, then the lead division's engaged side is the left side while the disengaged side is the right side), in order to not foul the lead division's rangefinders and obstruct their vision with smoke. They will however switch side if enemies get too close to the lead division, passing through the gaps between the ships of the lead division: • if the approaching enemies are small ships, the support division will engage them in order to prevent them from launching torpedoes; if the enemy DDs do launch torpedoes, then the ships of the supporting division are in a position to screen the ships of the lead division by... sacrificing themselves, rather than letting the torpedoes hit the more valuable ships of the lead division; • if the approaching enemies are big ships, the support division will engage them by launching torpedoes at them.

​@@uefkentauroiwhat about core, and well support for carriers? What is the best way to make multiple big ship divisions into a single battle line?

[@uefkentauroi]

Support is the same whether its for BBs, CVs, or even DDs. As for core, it'll make the division follow the lead division in a line ahead formation, essentially "merging" the two divisions together in a battle line. I don't know if you can have more than one division be core of the same lead division; if you can, good; if you can't, then have the second division be core for the first division, then the third division be core for the second division, etc.
