"Are you sure it only affects daytime evasion? It might be because of the way the night battles work in 5-3 but whenever Beaver gets shot at she almost always gets hit despite having the highest evasion in my fleet."

Given that it isn't just me saying echelon is best (this was discovered around halfway through last year's November event, at which point I hadn't even started playing; someone suggested echelon having cleared E-4 with it, others tried it and said it worked), I'm quite sure it has some basis to it. Which formation did you try? All 3?

"About the cut-ins, I'd rather take 2 hits at 120% rather than 1 hit at 250%. The scratch damage comes from near misses as I understand it which stands to reason when DDs get shot at."

I'm certain it was 175% due to the nature of its cut-in (2 red 1 yellow). There's no 250% cut-in as far as I know. Regarding the cut-ins, I rarely got crit to red or orange because of a BB cut-in while I was clearing 5-3, regardless of which ship was targeted (it happened only once to red and once or twice to orange); usually it's the flagship CAs/CLs/DDs cut-ins (and the elite CAs' double attacks) that I had to watch out for. And to begin with, the BBs didn't even cut-in most of the time; their normal night attacks miss easily. With the change to double attack, that means they get an extra chance to hit you.
