Right now with the ships you're levelling, i think you're on the right track for summer. Your dd's are now fine imo for easy, just level up your level 48 dd's to 50 and it's a good fleet. Glad to hear you have K2 Sendai now ^^, trust me, that has just saved u from not being able to clear. No need to level CL's now that u have a Sendai :)

Use the recipe 10/30/10/31 with Shimakaze as FS and you will get a heap of type 3 sonars and radars. As Yams said, not using type 3's makes killiing sub hime literally impossible. I can verify that from winter 2016 E1.

Use the recommended recipes for constructing planes and ap shells.

Don't stress on getting blueprints right now. I'm a HQ 99 Admiral and i haven't even cleared 4-5 yet, even with level 80-90 ships with AP shells and sparkled morale (70 ish). Most i've done is make it to last dance, but then the month reset lmao. First 3 maps are really easy to finish though. Use CAV route for 3-5, rather than the top route against bb's. If you don't have a blueprinted abukuma i would recommend her over chikuma. She can one shot a ship before the fight even begins. I would advise K2'ing Chikuma if you are severely lacking in CAV, but if you aren't really too sure then you can wait till the event comes and K2 the one that helps u the most.
