Talk:Summer 2014 Event/@comment-24403956-20140809171341

personally, I haven't start the event. However I take a look at the combined fleet formation. and ask myself how it will works. 1st and 3rd is obvious. then when it come to anti-surface. we got a choose of two, 2nd or 4th? the reason why we want a diagonal edage so that we can force the enemy along the line.

It is worth pointing out the ship placement:

4th formation:the 4 carriers on the back while the two big guns run in a line, and the small ships form a arrow shape.the reason why we ever want a diagonal edge is that we can force the enemy along the edge. Therefore this formation ideally will cut the enemy fleet in half, and as the main fleet engage the two big guns can maximie their firepower. however, any left over ship might got a chance to hit those carriers

2nd formation: carriers in the back, big guns in parallel, and flat head for escort fleet. the reason why we want a flat head, so we can stop the enemy fleet. This will give the carrier more room, and keep them safe.fire power is not the focus, but carrier will have a good go.

I don't know how they will work, but since many of the reports in wikiwiki is 4CV setup, i guess it makes sense that the damage is higher for such a carrier concentrated force in 2nd formation. Perhaps people may want to try 4BB 2CV, to see if the 4th do more damaged?
