The combat flow for the Combined Fleet is quite different from a normal fleet battle, since there are two fleets involved. Subsequently, the hit and miss rates are also somewhat different (combined fleet battles tend to have more misses and scratch damage than normal battles).

=== General Notes ===
* Anti-submarine warfare takes place following the same order as stated above, except that phases like aerial combat cannot occur for obvious reasons.
* The main fleet will not take part in anything related to torpedoes.
* The miss and scratch rate for combined fleets appear to be higher; probably to balance out the 12 vs 6 system.
