I didn't notice it until now, but the following info about the Vanguard formation:

"All Fleet Members will gain a significant boost in Evasion and Tanking capabilities against Enemy Attacks, especially for the 1st to 3rd Ships of the Fleet, and especially Light Ships (DDs, CLs) of the Fleet." The "especially for the 1st to 3rd ships of the fleet" feels rather fishy given that it ran contrary to the tweet.

新陣形【警戒陣】では艦隊後半に配備された艦が警戒艦として前方に展開、陣形後方の主力艦隊を護衛します. 前方に展開した警戒艦に敵の攻撃は集まりやすくなりますが、警戒艦の回避補正は向上します(同効果は特に軽快な駆逐艦に顕著です). 艦隊陣形後方に下がった主力艦の火力は低下します.

Roughly "The latter half of the fleet will be deployed to the frontline as the vanguard, protecting the main force in the backline. The vanguard has a higher chance of being targeted, but their evasions are increased (particularly to light ships like the destroyers). The main force deployed to the backline will have their firepower decreased."

Is this a mean joke from the dev? Have I been tricked all along?
