Hi, from your ship order equip list...not surprised that you've such a frustrating time at E6 and burnt 100K res. I'm currently clearly E7 on my primary account & E6 (Med) on my secondary account...I'm doing Summer event on 2 accounts..Here's what I learnt and hope it'll help you.

1) Ship equips

- FBB/BB - use 2 fitting guns + AP + radar/plane ...35.6cm guns on Kongou class has higher accuracy & more importantly crits dmgs more.. right sizing = accuracy + crit dmg >> oversizing crap for FP.

- CV/L - the usual set up is best torp in biggest slot, 2 fighters in next 2 bigger slots, 1 Saiun for smallest slot, Fighters-bombers in remaining small slots.

- DDs - CI with 2 torps + radar...I find 1 radar + 2 torp seems to have higher cut-in rate than 3 torps.

2) Your Escort Fleet Setup - they're probably Taiha' ing all over the place at E6 ...

- You've no AACI ship..Maya is preferred cause she is both CA & AA.. lack of AACI = increased hurt & pain. Try to have an AACI ship in Escort fleet.. Akizuki, Isuzu K2, Fubuki K2 with AACI setup is better than having nothing.

- Noshiro ?? Use Jintssu or Sendai if you've either of them to K2 instead...even Naka K2 is much better.

- Is your ship order listed correct? Preferred order would be AACI & lower dmg ships being higher up flag-2nd, then comes the heavy hitters FBBs/CAs ..last would be the CAs & DDs with CI setup. In NB, DDs with CI >> CAs >> CLs >> FBBs. That's my Escort fleet's for E6 Medium... Maya AACI, Yuudachi (2gun+Star Shell), Kongou(2gun+AP+radar), Jintssu(2gun+nightscout), Yukikaze(Radar+2Torp), Myoukou(2gun+Radar+Recon).

3) Your Support Exped. ship & equips

- You're probably suffering from accuracy problems with those setups... usual is 2 FBB/BB/BBV + 2 CV/L + 2 DDs.

- BBs gets 2 fitting guns + 2 accuracy equips ...double radar if you have. Support fleets can't do Artillery Spotting so recon & seaplanes are useless.

- CV/L gets 2 bombers on largest slots and 2 accuracy equips..again double radar if you've.

- DD is same 1 gun + 2 accuracy equips..if you're out of radar by then..usually sonar helps cause sonar adds to accuracy.

4) Ship usage....

- What's with Shimakaze & Yuudachi in support exped & Veriny/Hibiki in escort fleet ?... Consider using Yuudachi K2 to replace Veriny/Hibiki in Escort fleet...Veriny's FP & luck sucks bad, even with skilled lookouts, her CI rate is still sad. Skilled lookouts on Yuudachi or better yet on Shigure ensures she will do NB CI most of time.

.....etc..... sorry for the wall of text cause your fleet post show quite a lot of gaps.

Don't give up and Good Luck !!
