The Combined Fleet system was first introduced in the [[Summer 2014 Event | Summer Event of 2014]] specially for the Battle of Midway. Combined fleets allow up to a total of 12 ships across two fleets to take part in a sortie. The Combined Fleet system was again used in the [[Fall 2014 Event | Autumn Event of 2014]], and the [[Winter 2015 Event | Winter Event of 2015]] but with revised mechanics.

Combined Fleet (連合艦隊 ''Rengou Kantai~~'') (~~currently only available during certain events) can be formed by viewing the second fleet, and then dragging the "/2" icon over the "/1" icon (refer to the picture on the right). The first fleet is the main fleet and, in general, comprises the heavy ships, while the second fleet is a lighter "escort" fleet, and comprises the lighter ships.

In order to disband a combined fleet either click on the "combined" icon or make changes to either fleet so that they no longer meet the requirements.

Line 13: Line 12:

There are currently two different types of combined fleets available for use:

[[File:Choose_Combined_Fleet_Revision.png|thumb|225x225px|You may be allowed to choose which type of task force to create.]]

−

* The Carrier Task Force (機動部隊 ''Kidou Butai~~'')~~

* {{nihongo|The Carrier Task Force|機動部隊|Kidou Butai}}

−

* The Surface Task Force (水上部隊 ''Suijou Butai~~'')~~

+

* {{nihongo|The Surface Task Force|水上部隊|Suijou Butai}}

Each type of combined fleet has different composition requirements. In some cases, you will be given the option to choose between which combined fleet you want to make. In other cases, you will be told which fleet to create for the sortie. When choosing between the two different types of combined fleets, besides fleet composition requirements, take note that the combat order is different for each type (see [[Combined Fleet#Combat_Phases|Combat Phases]]).

=== Fleet Formations ===

For different combined fleet types, the colors may be different, but the formations' effects are the same in combat.

=== Combat Phases ===

−

This is where there is a difference between the two types of combined fleets. For the Carrier Task Force, the escort fleet engages first, while for the Surface Task Force, the main fleet engages first. Each phase in itself is similar to normal non-Combined Fleet combat. For a full run through on what each phase does, please see [[Combat#Combat Stages|Combat:Combat Stages]].
