you should only take diamond formation if you are confident with your ships having Artillery Spotting strike like double attacks or cut ins during the shelling phase, since it will always hit regardless being a normal damage hit, critical hit or even scratch damage hit, but its not guaranteed to happen(the artillery spotting strike) hence double line is mostly used since it has better accuracy in shelling phase and lower attack damage reduction. either put a repair team or retreat if any of your kanmussu get into  state after a battle. if you continue the sortie most likely she would sink.. so don't do it and retreat.
