Status: offline 		I have seen it multiple times that when the AI decides to send destroyers to interdict my fleets; it does it in 2-ship flotillas, that are then killed piecemeal by my 1CL+7DD squadrons

Why this was coded this way? I mean, in most situations I have seen the AI had enough DDs in nearby ports to build bigger groups that would had made it more of a challenge

and really, if someone coded DDs to form 2-ship flotillas, then it was possible to code them to for 7-ship or 9-ship ones; better yet, make them flee to a safe port and let them stay there until they can form a squadrons of 2/3 cruisers and 6 to 9 DDs

Status: offline 		this might make sense for the Japanese AI early war... but not for the Allies since all predefined Japanese surface task forces are bigger than 7 ships
