A repost from what I posted yesterday, mainly a guide for the mid-level teitokus.

For the battleships(BB/BBV), give them two main cannons each, not more than two, or else they would sometimes attempt cut-in at night(or do normal attacks) instead of double-strike. The third slot should be Type 21 Air Radar to increase their hit chance. The fourth slot, I usually put Type 91 AP Shell, or just AA gun on Kongo class. Multiple Type 3 Shells will also increase your overall AA by a bunch.

Definitely give Takao, and HaruHaru if you cleared E2, a Type 21 Air Radar. A successful multi-hit gravity cannon will save your life. And also two 15.5cm "Secondary" Cannon as main weapon for their high fire power and high AA.

Give Iona two of your best torps, like 61cm Quad Oxygen torp, after she's above level 10, so she has a chance of cut-in at night, which the Ko-hyoteki doesn't do, or so I have heard.

If no Isuzu's were leveled, then just stick some AA guns on them instead of radar. Focus your battles in the night, since with your ships' level I don't think you can finish them during day. As long as they entered the battle orange or above, they won't sink during the night.

Here's a video if you don't believe the above statement.

For every battle before HaruHaru, use double line or line abreast formation to avoid damage. Double line increases your defense, but still can be crit'd, line abreast increases your evasion, but when you're hit, it'll be hard. Ignore the left-overs from day battle and go straight to the boss, no point in wasting time with the small fries. When you get to the boss, use line ahead for maximum damage. If you entered the battle with everyone above 26% health, then you can go into night battle without worries.

E2 is probably the hardest part of this event, but once you cleared it, it'll be smooth sailing. Good luck.
