I've also wanted to give you a more proper evaluation, so I guess I have time now. You're right to be able to challenge all hard for a relatively easy event or a mix of hard then medium.

Also another thing about using unideal ships that people don't usually recommend to use. You may be doing it already, but I'll just put it out there. Typically when using someone like Samidare I would recommend giving her flagship and give her night battle equipment like star shell or the searchlight. Carriers, I tend to make them reppuu mules and give more bombers to the higher level CVs. Of course if you have skilled lookouts you can make more use of low luck ships.

Looking through your fleet, it actually is much stronger than my fleet when I began Spring 2015 as my first event. (can see in my profile)  Looking back I considered that a easy to medium event. I really want to tell everyone on the fleet preparedness board to chill out and that the event won't be that hard...

Ships I don't really have any complains about it, you have a decent variety although if neccessary you might have to use lower level ships on earlier maps to save ships on later maps. That's how I pulled through through E4 Medium of Spring. Sorry for bad quality ==>  Fusou and Yamashiro I do recommend getting to kai-ni sooner or later, that 23 plane slot is useful sometimes and won't be easily shot down. Plus the proto 41cms are nice.

Crafting is an area I would focus on. I would suggest crafting more Observation planes, better contact and LOS when you need that little bit for certain maps like 2-5. Definitely need less Reppuu with new mechanics but still at least 6 maybe? Radar crafting too for Type 33 and 32s, maybe 14s. Typically Type 33 for DD as an upgrade to Type 22s. Type 32s for battleships when you need a good radar or when I do support expeditions I equip CV 2-3 bombers + 1-2 best accuracy radars. Battleships I do 2 guns + 2 radars since there's not artillery spotting. DD's I don't care since they don't really contribute. Try farming for Akashi and start upgrading. I started late too was about 100 or 101.
