CV question

[makif130289]

hi, playing as germany( AoD 1.05 with 1.01 IC), I have 2 CVs obtained by Plan Z. I created carrier fleet consisting of 2CVs, and several number of CLs and DDs. I assigned superior tactician skill 4 admiral to this fleet. However, my fleet is unable to sink any ships due to the fact that my CAGs cannot fire on enemy ships. I don't know the reason but my CVs cannot aim any enemy ships longer than an hour in a battle. They just wait and wait until the enemy finally escape, then I win the battle without any damage done to enemy ships. What strategy should I follow to use my carriers efficiently ?

Hello;

You need to develop your CAG's. After research the second model of AAP, in the naval techtree will be activated "adaptation of AAP for carriers". These techno will give you better CAG's with more range and accuracy. You know that you can "leave" a doctrine, and take other. If you will create carrier fleets, it's highly recomended to take the US naval doctrines. There is a modificator, " PAV's Doctrines" who gives you an advantage in naval warfare. Research of this "branch" is more hard, but with "advanced pieces" you have "naval engine of 138.000CV", and after you can research forth model of Pav, who gives you a lot of interesting naval doctrines for your Pav's.
Detection techs. are also very important: they can give you the "surprise effect", and some of yous shots will beat enemy ships in the first moments of the battle.

In my games, I never use destroyers in my carrier fleets; IMO, it's better to use CL's, and some heavy units ( Battle Cruisers or Heavy Cruisers, but never BB). With Germany you have a very good spotter leader: admiral Warzecha; also, I think that in earlier naval battles is better to have the spotter trait than Sup.Tact. trait.
