If there are CV heavy or LBAS heavy requirements that bauxite level will hold you back from doing higher difficulties.

For ships...I would recommend that you get at least one of Yuugumo/Naganami leveled to KN for the Model D 127mm DD gun, and eventually get them both. Level up Yukikaze more.

Kitakami and Ooi are both event mainstays; you should level them up to their 90s. Same goes for Oyodo. Don't neglect the Agano class; they aren't bad and often are required for historical routing.

Chitose Kou is one of the best light carriers for events; you should level her up to catch up with Chiyoda and use them together.

CVs and CVBs look good; just get more of them. A shame you don't have Intrepid, but you have Akagi and Kaga for heavy hitters. Keep an eye out for any opportunity to get the Big Potato.

FBBs are in good shape. This event may give you a chance to get some Vittorio Veneto class Italian FBB. Do so if you can.

CAVs you need to KN Kumano, Tone and Chikuma at earliest opportunity. CAV are very useful for events and non-KN Mogami class isn't that strong. Tone and Chikuma aren't all that great in the CA role and should def be remodeled to give you more choices.

AV....Where are your seaplane carriers? You should keep a Chitose A and Chiyoda A leveled up to their 60s specifically for events. They are also useful in normal map usage.

I will let others more well versed assist with equipment to improve/grind. I will say make sure you have cleared out your quest log for missions involving the ships that you do have. Many of them give out upgraded equipment; like the 35.6cm prototype triple turret from the Kongou quest line. I kinda kept forgetting about AVs tbh because I've never really /needed/ them. They would've made things easier and have some quest involvement but the past few months have been sort of getting my FBBs and CVBs sorted (I only just acquired Shou/Zui AFTER Winter event). Have been attempting to farm Mythzuho for god knows how long and hoping for Teste this event. ​​​​​​I've been trying the 35.6cm quest for...ages. My 100+ ship being Yamashiro seems to just be that big no no 4-3 needs to stop me hitting the boss (I know she doesn't actually screw the routing but it's always sods law when I have her as FS it absolutely refuses to boss node, haven't tried it since Phase 2 tho, might be less random.)

I think I stopped leveling Chitose because Chiyoda is a taiha magnet lmao. ​I never usually plan for going higher than easy tbh, so I probably should've phrased that as "Is this good enough for Casual/Easy mode" lmao.

And you know, I keep forgetting I even have Yuki, so I'll shove her on my list of levels. Naganami, as I said in my post, is currently being PVP'd.

Does the level gap between 80 and 90 give /that/ much of a difference? I usually stop at 80 (Unless kai ni level is higher) then work on getting another ship to 80.
