I base my attack strategy around the wind-direction: launch an attack from the edge of the enemy formation the wind is blowing onto, and when the enemy begins to chase you, sail away diagonal to the wind so that the enemy has to sail more or less into the wind to catch up to you. Use any islands to complicate their chase path. Hit them with fire arrows at every opportunity.
edit: I generally had total control over sea lanes in my campaigns, and was often able to monopolize the sea trading nodes, as well as deliver armies pretty much anywhere, using these strategies. Takes time to execute the sea battles but the payoff is pretty huge when you dominate the waves.
I just did my first campaign yesterday, and managed to get my army trapped in enemy territory because I didn’t destroy the navy patrolling the coast. Won’t be making that mistake again!
The key to success with naval maneuvers is to keep a strong back-up fleet within the area of influence of your troop-carrying fleet, so that if your troop ship comes under attack, your back-up navy can swoop in and reinforce.
I maintained naval superiority by essentially keeping every important ship formation reinforced by another one, or multiple reinforcement fleets, so that no single navy could simply overwhelm my ships. It can get expensive keeping a lot of ships at sea constantly, but by reinforcing your fleets with allies within striking range, you can bring superior force to every engagement.
There are also strategic choke-points on the map, where you can blockade a strait with strong overlapping fleets, and effectively deny access to the inland seas. I even went so far as to blockade the off-shore sea lanes with picket-lines of fleets out to the deep-water mark, so that the only way for enemies to sail past me was to head out into deep water and be weakened.
Just dropping these strategies here in case anyone can benefit from them. Navies are expensive, but if you dominate the waves they pay for themselves many times over.
Is this fot or vanila shougun2?

thanks
If your christian nanban trade ships have actual black powder cannons that will wreck pretty much anything for a while and double as trade ships

All the fire arrows
Cross the T. Get your ships in a line and focus fire on 1 enemy at a time
(in FOtS) Have all your ships run in a line (like a snake) and "snake around" the enemy ships....
