Should clarify on that command system thing that you need to wait for orders to be executed, they don't stack. So: "You can press 4 to have them assume a wedge/"V" formation, or press 5 to set them in column behind you. Practice using command sequences for maximum damage - for example, to deliver a devasting strike with your torpedo boats: 4 (form up), then wait for a bit and hit 1 (attack), followed by 3 after the torpedos are launched (retreat, to reload), then 4 again."
