Indeed. It is not a heartening proposition. Even I think twice about challenging hybrid fleet, unless if they're of high level.

BTW, has anyone noticed that the opposing fleet also varies the formation in PvP? While it is unclear what affects the opponent's formation choice, I have sneaking suspicion that the game chooses the most efficient one based on your and your opponent's fleet composition.

In my experience, if I'm packing two carriers, the opponent predictably uses diamond formation. If I have more than 2 subs, and if the opponent has sub-hunters (DD/CL/CVL), they go line abreast (BTW, CVLs in line abreast seem to be very competent at hunting subs now). And when the opponent fleet is 4 submarines, they will use echelon - but it still can't match dedicated sub hunter fleet in line abreast, even when they're 40 levels lower.
