To be completely honest and blunt, I didn't even bother going past 3-2 and 4-3 after unlocking them. Those maps are plenty good for grinds if I need them, and the resource : cost ratio is manageable.

Also, I've never attempted any sorties except for extra ops maps like 1-5 or 2-5 for the medals.

I've been spending 90% of my Kancolle career in PVPs and events when they come along. Sure, it's slow, and you can probably grind ships faster if you sortied. But the perk is that with only attempting PVPs and dailies/weeklies, your HQ level rises extremely slow, which means you're less likely to hit 80+ very early, and that means easier maps in events. And due to my playstyle, I have very, very limited high level ships, but I'm still able to clear event maps (up to Spring E-4).
