Ships 2.0 5/22/18 [Mega]

I am noticing a lot of weird behaviour in the new fleet arena. My last match I sat and counted my opponent attack me 9 times before I got a turn! Running exact same squads - toons all g11/12 between the 2 of us and I had 5 zetas to his 4 on his toons. Both running Chimeara capital. Agree this should open up fleet to more variety but something seems seriously off when I have 1 ship left thats lucky to have 50% health left while he has added 2 re-inforcements and taken 9 turns. Have had 2 other similar battles today against guys I beat easily before.
