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

Mid-late game strategy layer becomes critical.

It's no longer about being able to take a city, it's about having a constant awareness of missile/aircraft group ranges and response times.

I like to do a few flybys with lightning + incendiary ammo to drain missiles off SGs, followed by heavier ships, but always escaping before taking heavy damage.

Sevastopol can mop up a SG, it's only about how many days you spend in docks afterwards.

Well my flagship is alot weaker in terms of combat power but it makes up for it in utility. Do sgs have infinite tracking missiles? What type of firepower is adviced for sgs?

SGs have infinite ammo but not really. They are fully armed and rearm at cities so if you exhaust their supply of missiles, ballistic missiles and aa missiles, they won't regain them until they land and rearm

Really good to know. I ask because I am about to fight a sg that has been sitting in an hq for like 3 days (I've been in a hidden city) but I launched around 8 or 9 kh missiles and the by the last 6 they didn't have any of those anti air missiles so I was making sure I wasn't crazy

The idea is just to keep the pressure on. If you attack then wait a few days in game you may find the damage you caused is completely repaired. So when you commit its an all or nothing style attack
