Carriers can be really expensive to field in PvP due to most fleets' high AA stats, not to mention you might encounter enemy carriers with plenty of green planes.

Subs can't get hit by torpedoes, that's true, but CLTs will never target them if there are surface ships and they'll destroy your subs easily during shelling phase.

As it's been stated, the easiest way to win is just to use heavy ships (BBs) but that can get somewhat expensive, nowhere near as bad as carrier deployments though. Oh and consider deploying your own CLTs.

I personally don't recommend using different formations, they tend to cripple your fleet more than your opponents', I stick to Line Ahead for pretty much everything with the occasional Line Abreast vs subs.
