yes. echelon make your damage tends to deal scratch damage or miss.. (but still can get B-rank easily to)

but the reason u use echelon in 5-3 is. to make your ship didnt get damaged in pre-boss node!! tested it myself in 5-3 for around 15-20 sortie (need more sample tho). echelon+searchlight make my fleet get only scratch damage all the way to boss node. so in boss node, i can go full power with my fleet with my ship  still in their good condition (ofc at boss node i will not pick echelon... Double line if i bring BC/CA/CLT, Line Abreast if i bring full DD./CL fleet)
