Task forces amalgamate and the unit joining does not fire

So I have two task forces moving to attack something. The first one arrives and fires off it's hourly salvo. The second one arrives but instead of firing, it simply merges into the first task force, never getting a shot off and reducing unit efficiency.
Is there a way to stop fleets doing this? Very costly when it happens can lose a game from this.

just move the first one a bit to avoid merging?

Yes I do that usually - is very micromanagement/clock watching heavy tho. Just get caught out sometimes with disatrous results - makes me give up and go play World of Tank tbh.

navy in general is pretty heavy on micromanagement tho?

Yeah I guess so

I dunno man, this one catches me out a fair bit tho. Really makes me tear my hair out.

yeah if you merge a stack at same point than the whole stack will attack at the latest of either stack. aka if I have stack 1 min away from attack againand other stack 59 min from refire the entire merged stack will go to the 59 min clock. but agree with Teburu Navy defintly not a fire and forget weapon if yu want to succeed.... Naval warfare takes the most strategy and mgmt
