As for me, main problem in this game(even if this is not classic-mmo and near to single player game) - is those 'all-or-nothing' reward system both for monthly ranking and most of event maps. What the difference - doing multi phase maps on easy(second phase of fall 2018 E5 was awesome) and get only sh!tty medal or jusk fcuk that and pick casual for shipfarming only? I'm lacking of historical ships, and only obtain most of them during last event, including my first 'Ducky', so ~maybe~ i can complete past E5 on easy instead of casual but 1~2 medals just not deserve that. I've been playing this game for about a year and a half (May 2017), and one of the things I learned early on is that in most cases your equipment matters far more than your girls. Yes, there are some girls that, for various reasons, are objectivly superior than others of the same class, but these are, for the most part, easy to get through normal gameplay. And while equipment is very important, most of it can also be acquired through regular gameplay, completing quests and making use of Akashi.

Ranking in this game is... to be frank, not worth the effort involved. Rankers are people that have both been playing for a long time and have a LOT of time to devote to the game to accrue the amount of ranking points they do. Most of those rewards aren't worth that trouble and, for the most part, are made available through events, quests or Akashi anyway.

As far as picking a map difficulty, there is very little reason (personally) to go Casual, because the the only thing that makes it easier than Easy, is the preboss nodes in that they don't hit as hard, thus making sure you have the HP to make it to the boss. That said, the regular medals are *NOT* shitty. I promise you, once you've been at this game for awhile and you start getting ships that need Blueprints, you will be *BEGGING* for more medals!

With regard to Historical Ships, those vary depending on the event and map. Fall had a lot of European ship requirements as Historical because of the event itself. Winter had all IJN ships as requirements, and most of those were common as heck...and I suspect that this event will have Historical requirements wtih many of those being Destroyers that you probably have in your fleet.

...all of this being said, I'm not exactly sure what the problem is, other than yoru issues with ranking...which really amounts to 'not a whole lot', because, again, most of that gear becomes readily available to people later on.
