Some event-tier info.

2. You will need to train some BBs/CVs for an upcoming event aswell (don't even dare to say you're not going to grind it).

4. 2x main cannons + seaplane + surface radar or type91 is the current top-tier meta (with some exceptions). In almost every case admirals prefer setups for doubles for day and night battles.

DD can't do double/cut-in at day, so for DDs it's usually 2x main cannons + radar (or aa-gun/turbine). However, a 50+ luck DD is going well with 2-3 torpedoes equipped (better to not equip main gun + torpedo cut-in, it fails to kill bosses).

5. You want to remodel and then max stats for your ships. Also, you want some equip with [Accuracy] stat (looks like crosshair) if it proves worthy stats (for example: you would prefer a 20.3 gun over a 14 gun because of fp, but you can substitute 20.3 gun with 15.5 gun for accuracy; also you would like to farm Isuzus for low grade radars). The last thing about getting more accuracy is bringing a CV(L) to battle and get a superiority.

7. Whatever you equip on a carrier, ensure you always get green text at airstrike phase. If not, equip more green planes. If you haven't them, get to 30+ T-lvl (or 20+ if you wanna rush 2-4) and craft them. You will need a lot of green planes at the event, believe me.

9. For ASW you want line abreast and some ASW equip (it cost nothing to craft, so get it asap). Basically, ASW equip gives much more damage to subs than a ship's base ASW provides.
