If by keeping track you mean posting spreadsheets/pictures of test results, no I did not. To do so requires me to create an account here, and I wish to keep my anonymity, even if my IP still shows up.

As for confirmation, I'm just reporting what happens to me from weeks of dozens of daily sorties, and it's rare the node where my ships do the correct targetting order. Not as rare as a Taigei drop from 5-2, but still rare. It's annoying, to say the least, because it results in unnecessary repair costs. My fleet is usually strong enough to wipe the enemy with little to no damage taken (save pre-boss and boss nodes), if the targetting is done correctly.

About that screening theory, it makes sense. When doing sorties that need specific ships types for branching rules, the smallest and weakest are usually targetted by the enemy. So many forced retreats due to rekt DDs ...
