I just want to mention that improved equipment is a lot better than unimproved equipment. 20.3 no.3 (+1) is comparable to SKC 20.3cm stat-wise, you should be using improved 20.3 no.3 on CAs. Also according CN forum posts, there's a 10% night battle accuracy bonus from using 20.3cm no.3 on CAs, which the 20.3 no.2 and the SKC 20.3cm don't have. I've lost the link to the source since I first read it on Himeuta but now I can't find the thread anymore. 12.7cm guns at +1 are also better than the late model 12.7cm guns.

I don't know which ships are available to you but here are some additional options you can use:

1. Drop Fubuki from the team, Maya and Akizuki AACI are far superior due to their unique API

2. Run torp cut in on CL with skilled lookouts. I recall you using that in the Spring event on Yuubari (it's actually now my favourite set up for 4 slot CLs).

3. CA can use torp cut in + skilled lookouts. Another option is mixed cut in with 2x main gun, seaplane, torpedo for daytime double attack + mixed cut in at night. Be sure to use Prinz, Myoukou or even Aoba due to relatively high luck.

4. Use FBB in escort fleet. They are extremely useful because they can tank hits and sink enemy BBs and CAs. The best set up is Bismarck drei with 2x main gun, seaplane, BB searchlight. I find that the BB searchlight greatly increases cut in chances.
