Sorry for my late reply lol.

The closest thing we have which tells us the modifiers of each formation, is a data mine from KC Kai. Of course it can be argued that not everything might fit perfectly on the browser version, but there are some values which are accurate when compared.

There's also this, which are night battle test data for each formation. Considering how there's a strong indication in both of them that Echelon is always worse than Line Abreast, it's a strong case that Echelon simply cannot be the best recommendation.

And last, we have our own combat page formation modifiers which shows us an estimate amount of each formation. It's not sourced, so I cannot check the validity of it, but its there.
