Yeah, the plane quests are something you just need to slog through. They'll take weeks-months but are worth it. The Tenzan 12s you already have, the Iwamoto Zero 53 from from the Crane quests are two you'll be constantly using in events. Back those up with good reward planes (Reppu 601s, more torp bombers, foreign planes) and you're set. Don't forget the Skilled 21 & 52 Zeros for LBAS, 3-4 of each is good.

No real need for radar except for LOS, in which the 33s are fine. 32s are a luxury, craft them if you feel you have too much baux - a pretty rare occasion, lol. You probably have a few 13 Kais, upgrade at least one for Ducky use. And pray for a Pudding drop for FuMO - hell, go for dupe Puddings if you can, the FuMO has been the best large radar for years, doesn't seem like that's gonna change.

As far as LSC goes, go for it if you have the sanity and resources. I only have Bismarck myself, too lazy/scared to go for any other of the big LSC ships. Taihou is nice, but has been made less important since the introduction of the CVB Cranes. Hotels can be a big help in events... there are times I wish I had them, as Tanaka has been particularly sadistic with some of the Hard comps we've been getting recently. But yeah, I do feel Bismarck may just be the best LSC ship to try for. An FBB that doesn't suck in yasen, good stats all-around. I also get the impression she may be the most "common" big LSC ship, due to the special requirement of Z1 being flag. Might be wrong about that, just a hunch.

My bad, I forgot about special ships for improvement... finding Mikuma for the 20.3(3)s, yeah, that's tough, hopefully she'll be a drop. It's possible you may get her as an LSC ship, fingers crossed for at least one Akitsumaru, too. A bunch of improved T91 shells are vital, yes, just get some +6 35.6s to pair 'em with. ASW has been important these past few events with high defense Sub Himes, that Type 4 will be useful. Type 3s for everyone, some improved, would be great.

Congrats on the crafting and clears. That Ryuusei Kai (double chevron) is gonna see some use in the event. Are those 52 Zeros being used to improve anything yet? You'll need a bunch of them for Zuikaku's Iwamoto fighter.
