When it comes to required ship(s), there are certain types.

Example 1 - Use 5 out of 7 ships required and you get special routing (sometimes it requires to be a certain pair of ships for the bonus). If you don't have it, you must either take a longer route, or must use a certain weaker fleet setup to go the same route as the historical one. (Summer 2016 E-3 and Summer 2017 E-5 is a good example of this)

Example 2 - There is a small number of ships who can do bonus damage against the boss (Fall 2016 E-5 and Summer 2017 E-4 is a good example of this).

Really depends on the type.

If it's routing-based, then most likely Hard mode will have harsher requirements where they you need to bring a large number of the required ships, while Easy mode may have lesser requirements.

If it's Bonus Damage based, it means you can just use the other members of the Nishimura Fleet for bonus damage (though other members are just Mogami who is a CAV, and rest are all DDs so....)
