What are your goals? To take on a mid-size, 4-5 map event on all Medium difficulty? To complete all maps in the "campaign"? Progressing through the game and building your fleet can be a slow process. I don't bother with a lot of the more advanced parts of the "git gud" meta, but I've been doing alright and have been enjoying the ride these past 2 years or so.

My simplified answer would be to bring a well-varied fleet up to levels 60-80+. If you only have the 100 slots the game gives you, prioritize getting all F/BBs & CV/Ls. Get all CLTs, CAVs, pick from the best CAs & DDs.

Aside from leveling, always run bucket-getting expeds whenever you can. Dunno what HQ lvl you are, but if you're only 6 months in, don't be afraid to spend resources to grow your fleet. Get Akashi and start improving key equips - 35.6cms, 20.3cm(3)s, 10cm+FDs. Build up a good air corps; Reppu & Shiden Kai 2 fighters, Ryusei Kai torp bombers. Take advantage of event prizes like new girls and prize equips, it's easily one of the funnest aspects of the game.
