In real-life WWII, T-Cross advantage would give 200+ percent more firepower for the broadside fleet, and less than 40% for the crossed fleet... more than or less than depending on the ships and ranges. More damage will be if the broadside fleet has air artillery spotting, and they'll even take less counter-fire if they are in echelon. While the crossed fleet gets considerable damage, this is multiplied by the fact that magazines are stored frontal of the bridges of the ships, meaning it's either a magazine hit or a bridge hit. Given that a crossed fleet has enough time to react, by the time they get into evasive/echelon/defensive/retreating maneuvers, only the fast ships would be able to go back, since battleships with such a large amount area displacement would have taken large amount of hits and would most likely be abandoned.... hence Shigure and Yukikaze, the destroyers and CLs tend to be the only ones left.
