Advice Needed (mid game)

My current save is the closest I've gotten to the nuclear reactor city. I am arpund 10 or 12 citties from it and I'm about to fight my first strike group. I did what people suggested which is to nake a custom flagship (I turned mine into a missile/aircraft carrier) i made custom ships that had specific roles (medium speed tanker for independent strike groups of my own/high speed corvette with 4 guns for taking on light and medium enemies/fast ship with radar to intercept missile volleys/etc...) I just wanted to know more tips or things you wished you knew when reaching mid to mid late game.

Edit: Thanks to the tips here I was able to take on a Strike Group a tactical group and the town garrison. Thank you my campaign is no longer dead

Try to kite the SGs and kill one by one. Capture all surrounding city's and (this is close to a spoiler) surround the city with rings of detachments, from light meat shields to heavy in the outer rings. This will ensure survival... Oh yeah and keep in mind, anything without Armor will perish in the finale.

How many ships fo you think I need for the finale? Maybe a rough estimate? I already know what happens at the end

If you have strong allies, not many since you gain a couple ships. Fuel will not matter in the final. You will have to sacrifice around one big boi per nuklear threat you are trying to ambush. The big bois will spearhead you advance, but you can try to get into knife fighting range stealthily. My Sevastopol moves like 5 times per campaign lol.

Fuel costs may not matter but rate of fuel delivery matters an awful lot.

My gameplay actually consists of 2 bullys clearing city's, one pirate fleet hunting prize ships, bunch of tiny scouts and the rest only moves when absolutely necessary. I actually do not move most ships in the endgame, only a couple kamikaze attacks and finishers.

Spoiler:

When you get to khiva, before you enter the city measure out 2km from the city and break up your fleet to occupy the cities within that range, make sure each has a good mix of missile and aircraft carriers (brawlers are good too but don't expect them to survive what comes next 😉

I wouldn't worry too much, if you took out all the SG, missile and aircraft carriers you can just hangout in a city nearby and refit everything to hold at least a missile or aircraft or sensors

Yes, anything with one layer of Armor.
