No worries about the log-in XD

My BP choices - I took a look across various sources and considered my play-style and felt that CAVs and BBVs were not that important, but Daihatsus are. I mean, in general, I run CVs instead of BBs of any type, and CAVs are, well, just CAs (that is, they don't contribute anything different).

Jun'You - I don't typically run CVLs anymore, (as I prefer to run full CVs) but when I do, I prefer Chitose and Chiyoda due to plane-slot size...which is exactly why I haven't bothered much with Zuihou or Hiyou beyond getting them to Kai; they don't have a K2 and thier slot-sizes are poor in comparison to the other CVLs...

...that and I really just like her character and design XD

4-5 Clear - I don't have a problem with clearing 4-5 as a general thing, my commentary was voicing concerns about resources. I noted the consumption for that map becuase I had just cleared it, so I had the numbers on-hand to look at.

Gun Upgrades - If I do anything with those 12.7cms it will be when I have spare screws and/or need some 12.7cm B K2s for upgrading. Your view on the 20.3cm (no.3) is about the same as mine. I know that they're better than the no.2's, but I'm not at the point yet where I'm willing to put the time (Kinugasa K2) or Resources (Mikuma) to get more. Will that time come? Yes. So in the meantime, I think I am better served by upgrading what I have with the intent of making 'bad' guns into 'good' guns.

General Upgrades - Given the recent event preps and such, I haven't touched the T96 Fighters; the intent for those was having some at +10 for the quarterly Skilled Crewmember quests down the road; I'm too BP-poor right now to use 2x Medals on that stuff.

Ship Levels - Yeah, I decided on the 'Level 70' thing after Fall and before I found any real or solid information on what's needed for a Medium run. I mean, I got to the Night Strait Princesses on Medium with no problem, but I wasn't able to sink them. I reasoned it was because I just wasn't hitting hard enough, and the only way to really get around that was better gear and higher levels (most of my Nishimuras were about level 60-ish at the start...).

The way I figure it, if I walk in with most of my ships at level 70 or so, they should be 75+ by the time Last Dance rolls around.

Resources - Those numbers are old. I have either exceeded (ammo and bauxite) or am on track to exceed the recommended levels of resources (fuel is like 92k or so). My only real concern is steel, which is like 72k or so...

Ships - If it's any consolation, I picked up all of those you mentioned during the Summer event, some of which I farmed pretty hard for (Roma and Prinz) except for Shimushu, who I got while trying to get Katsuragi and Unryuu (both of whom I had to farm *very* hard for)
