Re: need help on battle of trafalgar
I got 1 tip.
Dont get so mixed up with there ships it makes it easy for them to hit you from multiple sides.
I always took my fastest ships and used them to lure the enemy into a position of my choice since there manouverable if ur good at management then they wont even get hit but can fire off little volleys to keep the enemy coming then i normally place my admiral and 2 of my biggest at 1 point where ill hold the enemy and the rest spread out far to the sides once the enemy come in my light ships take position behind my tankers to provide some fire support normally chain shot to disable some enemy ships while the rest roll up both flanks once you trap them half of them cant fire at all and the rest have no room to move so you can just focus fire on 1 ship at a time on each side and make them surrender then if you can make them explode you can sink 3-4 ships with 1 big bang.
It takes some practice before you can manage 4 different squadrons at once though plus dont bother focussing on nelson it just makes you vulnerable to the rest of the fleet just focus on disabling and sinking there ships normally i target the smaller ones first.
As the enemy losses ships morale drops and the smaller it is the faster ur big ships can pound it down once the smaller ones are down the bigger ships will surrender easy.
But you have to make sure none that run escape ur trap because if they reform later and come back then there outside your trap and you have a big problem if theres more then 1-2.
Or alternatively try to lure a few ships away from the fleet 
devide and conquer as probably the most important tactic in battle a large army is strong but brake it into smaller pieces and it becomes weak and easy to overwhelm piece by piece.
If you can pull them away then go with my favourite 3 quotes .
"Overkill is under rated"
"Sometimes it is entirely approrpiate to kill a fly with a sledgehammer"
And last but not least "If your in a fair fight you didnt plan it properly"
I use them in all my battles and i never lose.
Split them up hit the parts with overwhelming force and keep there main force running around away from ur main force until thats all they've got left to fight with and you can move around at will to hit them.

I am the shadow, and the smoke in your eyes I am the ghost, that hides in the night.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender.
" The dark is generous.
Its first gift is concealment: our true faces lie in the dark beneath our skins, our true hearts remain shadowed deeper still. But the greatest concealment lies not in protecting our secret truths, but in hiding from the truths of others.
The dark protects us from what we dare not know.
Its second gift is comforting illusion: the ease of gentle dreams in night’s embrace, the beauty that imagination brings to what would repel in the day’s harsh light. But the greatest of its comforts is the illusion that dark is temporary: that every night brings a new day. Because it’s the day that is temporary.
Day is the illusion.
Its third gift is the light itself: as days are defined by the nights that divide them, as stars are defined by the infinite black through which they wheel, the dark embraces the light, and brings it forth from the center of its own self.
With each victory of the light, it is the dark that wins.
The dark is generous, and it is patient.
It is the dark that seeds cruelty into justice, that drips contempt into compassion, that poisons love with grains of doubt.
The dark can be patient, because the slightest drop of rain will cause those seeds to sprout.
The rain will come, and the seeds will sprout, for the dark is the soil in which they grow, and it is the clouds above them, and it waits behind the star that gives them light.
The dark’s patience is infinite.
Eventually, even stars burn out.
The dark is generous, and it is patient, and it always wins.
It always wins because it is everywhere.
It is in the wood that burns in your hearth, and in the kettle on the fire; it is under your chair and under your table and under the sheets on your bed. Walk in the midday sun, and the dark is with you, attached to the soles of your feet.
The brightest light casts the darkest shadow.
The dark is generous and it is patient and it always wins – but in the heart of its strength lies its weakness: one lone candle is enough to hold it back.
Love is more than a candle.
Love can ignite the stars."
Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end.
You began the war.
I am going to end it!
