From my observation, there are 2 types of combined fleet: Carrier-based (available in E-4 and last event) and surface fleet-based (E1 and E3).

Carrier-based fleet requires 2+ CV, 2nd fleet seem to get greatly reduced accuracy (as well as evasion) against shelling, but torpedo accuracy is untouched. Also, 2nd fleet will open fire first, with 1 shelling phase based on rage regardless whether you have BB in the fleet or not.

Surface-based fleet can't have more than 1 CV, both sides seem to get greatly improved evasion against shelling attacks, but damage is also boosted making it lethal to any combat vessel. Also, 1st fleet will open fire first, 2 rounds if you have BB; 2nd fleet will open fire after 1st fleet finished theirs, the order is based on range, this fleet still get the same shelling evasion/accuracy reduction.

About the formation, seems like they are mainly equivalent or existing formations:

top left: Line Abreast (ASW)

top right: Double line (Defense)

bottom left: Diamon (AA)

bottom right: Attack (FP)

Echelon is purely a night battle evasive formation, it does nothing but crippling your fleet during the day so I guess there's no equivalent of it yet.

Just to be sure: all these purely are my speculations based on knowledge and personal experience, don't take it for granted.
