@Kitahara At this moment I am inclined to believe you, since what you say makes the most sense. However, that doesn't mean everything is adding up yet.

@Homuhomu You say that you agree with Kitahara, but from your comment it seems you mean the opposite. Kitahara says that all modifiers should apply to your fleet only. I assume this means that torpedoes shot by you will get the surface damage modifier and the torpedo hit rate of your formation. Yet, you say that when your opponent uses line ahead you get bigger torpedo damage. Which contradicts what Kitahara says.

Also, I get the feeling that most people agree that line ahead is the best for any opening torpedo fleet, but that your success heavily depends on your opponents' formation too. Maybe this impression of mine is wrong, but if I am true, then this practical experience also seems to suggest formation do more than just modify your own shots.
