As for "not being able to clear E1 with softcap values" I don't really get where these horror stories come from. First of all, event is 2+ weeks long and during all that time resources are ticking up, secondly it's most likely going to be ASW/Transport (ot both) map that doesn't require resource heavy ships, and lastly, it's not like newer players would insta-jump to hard or/and frontline, and easy on E1 with info is .. well, supposed to be easy. (For reference, last event I farmed for 4 ships on easy, then cleared the map on hard and spent ~7k fuel total)

But again, even successfully building Bismarck now, when there's less than a week till event starts, means a) you won't be able to use her, since she needs lvl75 even if you have the prints. (that's a lot of time and res for levelling) and b) you will be at very low ( probably close to 0) res at the start of event, and even though it's not the end of the world.. it's still pretty upsetting.

Tl;dr: save you LSC to the end of the event, and concentrate on getting goodies from limited time maps. : >
