Hello fellow admiral!

If you may, let me give you some thoughts on your fleet and equip upgrades not only for now, but for the future as well:

Fleet wise, looks fine to be able to tackle the event on medium, it only depends if the devs decide to be harsh on fleet compositions and forced branching, but you should be able to do it. I'm guessing what complicated your fortune on Fall 17 was the lack of Fusou-Class kai ni right and upgraded equipments? In your case, I would consider giving either fusou or yamashiro a blueprint, their equip is immensely helpful.

As per your upgrade question, in order to balance screws, I would reccomend upgrading your type 91 AP shells to +9, it costs a single screw, and they are easy to craft without bankrupting you screw-wise, if you do it at the same time than the akashi daily upgrade quest. The thing with upgrades is to do them slow and steady across time as to not deplete your reserves quickly, it is a long term objective after all; Furthermore, your BB guns look a little underdevelopped (another reason for fusou class, free Proto 41).

Another tips for the long-term improvement post winter 17:

-Duck gun: Overall best gun for the DDs even with the recent new type C and D guns as they are easier to upgrade and cheaper as well, reccomend to get as many as possible and leveled as high as possible to make your DDs little machines of abyssal doom;

-BB guns need some serious love, including the Proto 35.6 and future Proto 41 guns, combined with AP shells they are of utmost importance;

- If you plan on upgrading torpedos, only do it for the quintuples, only worth ones  upgrading and for the shimakaze quest for the sextuples as well;

-your carrier planes are pretty solid, should be able to handle stuff even on hard difficulty maybe;

-In the future, craft Type 4 sonars, they are not so expensive and are well worth having;

-LBAS bombers look ok, but if the devs come with Perfect LBAS again( and probably they will) your interceptors mught struggle a little bit, but right now, nothing can be done;

- That Type 2 amphibious tank, give it some love in the future, especially in the event of installation type enemies this thing makes a difference;

Giving the closeness to the winter event and that it is supposed to be large scale to boot, I would reccomend against going crazy either in leveling ships or equipments, so I would aim for 50k resources on both fuel and ammo and around 500 buckets to be on the safe side;

This is only my brief perspective, if I misunderstood anything please forgive me. Anyway best of luck!
