Combined all in one formation

This formation is created to destroy fleet of enemy, its supposed to be capable of fighting any fleet is meets with best efficency possible. For fighting subs i reccomend using depth charge destroyers group, they will use less fuel.
You can use more than 24 destroyers and battleships, but do not use more than 4 carriers


Explanation of why i chose very ship and most important stats you should look on:

Carrier:
there is a limit of 4 carriers per one fleet. You must have at least one heavy ship to one carrier if you want your carriers to be alive for more than 1 hour. You should take as much decks as possible and best engine (you should always pick newest engine for every ship)
Carriers are very sensitive to weather, look below in doctrines category
Naval Bomber:



Battleship
Why so few guns?
Guns are very expensive, lower speed and do not provide additional hp.
Also 15000 ic battleship need 3+ years to be produced, so you will need to produce it from the very start of the game with older modules and be defeated by newer one



Destroyer
You will need 2 types of destroyers:
HP-wall destroyer: serves as hp wall to protect heavy ships, you will need at least 24 for full formation. Fastest engine, torpedoes and cheapest gun.
Anti-sub destroyers:
you will need those to fight subs of enemy cheaply and effectively.

Doctrines and etc.

Navy doctrines:
Training is highly reccomended

Improvement of guide

If you have any suggestions, problems, or critics of my guide----comments and my direct messages are always open for you

Fleet changes in new BETA

With new BETA version arriving, naval targeting of naval bombers increased significantly, making carriers even stronger from the best ship to absolutly best you can imagine. Now there is no reason of building "kill formation" without carriers. CARRIERS FOREVER. I havent really tested much in last month, so i would appreciate any suggestions to my guide.
