Recently in a game, I came across a fleet composed of frigates, Attack subs, and Cruisers. Is there any way to beat this combination, or is it the meta?

Really, with pretty much all unit combinations the way to counter them is to take them apart piece by piece. At the very least the limit to how many units you can stack makes it so you can not have an impenetrable stack.

Where are you going to launch the missiles from ? are we forgetting that frigates and cruisers will shoot down those missiles ? and cruisers itself will hit very hard or destroy those asw ? the only way to counter that navy is with more navy lets say submarines and crusiers and even so will be a hard combat. I tend to also add 1 naval officer to that stack for example 4 cruisers plus 1 naval officer then 5 frigates for anti air rest are attack subs.Teburu wrote:

No naval battle group is impenetrable. You can make it damn hard, but there's always going to be a weak spot.catallactic wrote:

In over 100 games you've never encountered a navy of more than 15 ships?catallactic wrote:

Trigger AA and take out your cruisers and destroyers with CMs and ASW heli would have finished off your frigates. Even if you mix the stacks a shot off would create a def opening to volley at.catallactic wrote:

. . . After day 30 you add whatever you need to combat specific remaining foes, e.g. you might have to do home missile defense. . . .
