1) Anti air cut in is not that useful, if you dont know about it, loook it up. Unless AA CI is performed by Maya or Akizuki it doesnt atuclaly do that much. DD wise, not many players will have Akizuki (new player wise). Therefore Fubuki is decent enough to do the job. All other DD's AA cut in is pretty much the same.

2) You dont need a huge amount of lv 80 DDs (70 is ok) bec DDs are mostly used for eailer maps, E1, E2, which means 70 will be fine to get away. The higher the better I will not argue with that. But I could easily say you should have lv 99 ships or even married. I think lvl 70 ships is more than enough to challenge hard mode, at least in eariler maps.

3)There is simply no way you need 8 CLs. 3 high lv CLs are plenty (usually we recommend Jintsuu Ooyodoo and Sendai (since most ppl have her K2 for night battle gear). You should have another 1-3 CLs around lvl 50 ish (usually used for expeidtion) to fill in the gaps if needed. 8 lvl 80 CL is way over kill. Last event, in fact you could get away with only using 1 CL in total. (You could use more in E1, but not necessary or must). We have never seen an event requires 8 CLs.

4)13+6 CA+CAV is like the full number, of course it will be great if you can have them. But clearly OP here is out of time and resources to train them all, not to mention it is over kill. 6 CA + 4CAV should be plenty. Again, you dont need all of them to be high lvl, most of them around lvl 70 is fine. You need 2-4 around 80 for last 1-2 maps.

5)BB pretty much train all you have, apart from Isse class, so quite simple.

6) No way you need 6 CVL. you can pretty much be sure you can get away with 4 CVL. Train all the CV you have is general rule of thumb. But again 8 is hard to hit. After all most players only have 1st carrier (Kaga + Akagai), 2nd carrier (Souryuu + Hiryuu). 5th carrier (Shokaku+Zuikaku). Developer will not design an event assuming you have Taihou (LSC) or Unryuu (Still very very hard to get apart form event, 6-3 farming? come on).. So 6 CV is fine. (of course the more the better)

7) Concluding mark, yes we dont know anything about the event, What i list is a bare passable level. you have to give advice based on what OP has, and what time he has to trian. Just simply saying train every shipgirl to 80+ is not going to help anyone. You are pretty much saying training 8 CL, 8+DD, 8 CA, 4CAV, 6 CVL, 8BB, 8 CV. this is a ridicolous amount of training and no way the OP can reach. So the next question is can OP do hard with what he has ? I already answered that above, and will repeat, from my point of view, he can do most maps, but proabably will run out of gas for the last 1-3 maps.

8) Dont just go full panic mode bec it is big event, Last summer event was the biggest we seen, and it required 39 ships to complete. First this is mufch lower than the number you are giving to people, you are asking for around 60 ships. Second just 39 doesnt mean 39 lvl 80 ships, you can probaably geta away with  a few around 50 for eariler maps, some around 70 for middle maps and support, and final stage use your 80+ ships.

9) In the end, more levels, more ships is always better, i will never argue with that. But the whole point of assessment is tailor advice base on each player's need and what they have currently. Giving people a task which they can no where come close to is not going to help anyone.

10) No you do nt need 500 buckets for one map. 500 buckets is enough to clear the whole event, as long as you have a decent fleet and dont rush things. Generally speaking 500-1000 buckets is ideal bec every one will want to to farm for drops. Like i said before, I love you for helping other people, but over-scaring everyone is not a good idea.

Below is for OP

Item wise, for medium/hard, 6 reppeu is minimum pass, you want 8-10 for good. (no Shiden Kai 2 is not counted as reppeu). You want 4 AP shell (+6 on all of them) and at least 4 Type 3 shell (5 is ideal) there is no argument for these, you must get them. then the more 46cm and 41cm you can get the better, and more type 32 / 33 radar.

You are really short on buckets, and since that cant be rushed out, it means first you have to stop using buckets at all cost ( meaning literally use 0 everyday .. must!) And you cant challenge harder maps by repeating runnign them and hope for good luck. So again I suggest you play safe and go for few maps in hard and later ones in medium.
