I suspect some of these questions are not well-researched; in any case, I would like to hear objective responses if possible, and not personal experiences or opinions.

1. When I run through 1-5 with a BBV and CVL, most of the time, they will lose planes to subs with 0 listed AA stat, Does this mean that:

The formula used to calculate planes shot down is wrong.

Or the formula doesn't apply to enemy ships.

Or that enemy subs derive AA stat from their torpedoes. (lol)

2. Does the Formation influence the accuracy of torpedo bombers in the Aerial Combat Phase or does it only influence ship torpedoes?

3. I select the Double Line Formation, and due to the firepower penalty compared to Line Ahead, My BB hits the enemy BB but is unable to sink it. The enemy BB is then able to fire upon my ships in return when it would have been sunk in the first place if I had chosen Line Ahead. Can it still be said that Double Line is a superior defensive formation to Line Ahead?

4. If I equip a Saiun, what happens to the 10% T-cross disadvantage chance? Do the chances of the other 3 engagement forms grow to keep the 45/30/15 ratio? i.e., how relatively effective is the Saiun?
