Gidday Gidday all,
Just fought a three year war and my two CVLs never participated in anyone of the dozen plus battles...
What is required to get your carriers participating in battles please?
They are in the Active Fleet. They have aircraft on board. They are fast, at 27 knots, which is faster than my CLs who almost always ended up in the battles. They were listed in the pre-battle screen as being in the area. When temproarily placed on raiding they succeded in sinking boats, but I never got to command them in battle.
It's so sad.
What is required to get your carriers participating in battles please?

I find them showing up in large battles with capital ships as a support division inside the main force. By large battles I mean typically fleet actions and coastal raids. I don't think I've ever seen them show up as a separate carrier force. How late into the aviation period are you? I think they show up less frequently when aviation is brand new, but in the 30s I see them (or my small CV that started life as a CVL) in pretty much every such battle.

I had an entire US campaign where I rarely got to use carriers, between them just not showing up for the multitude of minor cruiser actions and being made useless by bad weather when they did wind up in play. That was in 1.05.
But I've been getting a lot more large fleet actions in my current campaign, which is promising for carrier action possibilities...when I actually get some. My engineers are not delivering on aviation tech so far.

Strange. For me it's the opposite. My carriers show up in almost every battle. I've even had a small-sized cruiser action where two of them turned up. Except destroyer actions, the CVs are the backbone of my fleet for the very reason that the battle generator consistently fields at least two of them, whereas any other ship type is subject to luck.

This is really interesting, I share the experience with blur, I regularly get carriers even in the smallest battles. I've had multiple cruiser engagements where I got 1 or 2 bcs, some dds and between 2 to 3 cv with a 100 planes each vs 2 or 3 ca...
