Playing as AH, currently at war against Italy. I have 14 B's in the med and 8 CA's.
The game refuses to spawn more than one CL against these enemy fleets...
After this misery is over I'm going to scrap every single non B ship in my fleet in the vague hope that maybe, just maybe, the generator will actually spawn a B for the first time in a year long war!!!!

How many ships of each type you and Italy has in the Mediterranean? How many battles you have against enemy CA and yours CLs only? |

In the med I have 14 B's, 8 CA's, 2 CLs, ~30DDs. Italy has 12 B's, 6 CA's, 7 CLs, ~20DDs. I have never been given more than 1 CL.
And again! Picture of the following battle, exact same one CL.
Edit-2: And those are what the Italians have been given. Thanks!

I find that fleet fights happen maybe 10-15% of the time. Perhaps you've just been unlucky?

If I understand correctly the issue is less the spawn rate of fleet battle as in the engagement type, but the fact that the game is throwing him into smaller engagements and then he's ridiculously out shipped. I've seen this happen mostly in coastal raids, where I routinely meet the entire German surface fleet with 2 cl or later 1bc, which is one of the main reasons I started building speedy ships.
Though I've seen this kind of behavior even in cruiser battles where I get 3cls and a handful of dds against the entire French bc force, in air range and broad daylight...

I suggest you report it in bug thread with your save, this is strange if it happens again and again and again. |

Put your light cruisers on TP or raider as required and you will have battleship fights

I Actually feel fleet battle may not, or rarely triggers when you don't have enough cruiser/dds. Since the battle tries to spawn escort and scouting forces in addition to the line battles.

i only have B/BBs and DDs on AF during wars and i get assigned capital ships in many battles - even in some cruiser battles
sometimes i get DDs only, in which case i turn around and flank speed out to end the battle early

Have you ever gotten slow BBs (<27 knots) in cruiser battles?

I get a lot more fun battles this way. |

Once you can build fast BB there's really no reason to build BC anymore since the fast BB can handle all the same missions with (generally) superior combat efficiency. |

What battle types were those? There are types where it's not so abnormal to pit a light cruiser and maybe a destroyer division against capital ships, though it's certainly strange to only get those types...

There are still difference between BC and fast BB. I have no battle where division is mix of BC and fast BB.

The solution is so simple, I'm surprised you haven't figured it out already. Suicide torpedo charge the enemy with your cruisers, you won't have any left and the game will be forced to give you something bigger (or a squadron of corvettes that you forgot to put on TP). |
