Well, an Akashi FS falls under the  4th case "in all other cases the formation is line ahead" so it should be expected... it is my fault for thinking that any 4 or more SS in an enemy fleet will make the formation line abreast/echelon...

It's just that line ahead SS can obliterate your ASW fleet and/or reduce your chances of getting S-rank...my ASW fleet just managed  because 3 out of 4 ships are chuuha'd/taiha'd, all of them have sonar+depth charge (except for CVL with high-ASW planes and Fusou with max-rank Zuiuns and an Akitsugyro so even they can damage subs), and the lone undamaged ASW ship damaged all the other subs by second attack phase brought by the BBV (moreover, that fleet has max morale since I am only using them for PvP ASW)

Good luck against 2CLT+4SS or 1CLT+5SS though.

I am writing/typing down the enemy fleets before I fight them, computing the sum of the levels of the first two ships and taking note of the ships I should watch out against (BB, CV/Akitsumaru, SS) so I could configure my ships' equip before clicking.
