Line Abreast doesn't affect the enemie's attack power, but it has the highest evasion of all formations. Since torpedoes are generally less accurate than shells, it means you have good odds of evading the enemy torpedo volley. Line abreast does mean that unless you have really strong DDs and CLs (like Yuudachi and Jintsu), you probably won't do more than scratch the enemy fleet with your own attacks since it comes with a severe shelling and torpedo penalty.

I fought the hard version of node G, with line abreast, my team only took out the enemy sub and destroyers, but I got out with almost no damage every time. My DD team was all Kai-Ni though, so their evasion is higher.
