To give advice on that... If it's personal advice on your fleet and stuff - you've given no information, so I can't comment on that.

Basically you need to prepare as much as you can in all areas. I know that won't sound very helpful, so I'll give very general advice and use my own account as an example. There are several areas to keep in mind: fleet, resources, equipment, mentality.

~Fleet~

Since I'll be frontlining this event. Here's my fleet for you to view. It's by no means a yardstick as to what is required - there's no way to tell what kind of fleet will be needed or the extent of maplocking.

~Resources~

Can be viewed in the link of my fleet above. Basically prepare as much as you can, max them out if possible. You'll see that I included medals, blueprints, damecons and repair goddesses in the resource table. Why? If a ship gets kai ni during the event, give it to her immediately. Frontliners typically have already kai ni every ship they can and are saving their medals waiting for more. Frontliners need to push through to provide the map routing and enemy formation intel for the community, sometimes damecons and repair goddesses for sub tanking will help.

~Equipment~

Try to gave the best of everything for your deployed fleets.

My equipment it's very long. I'll list the approximate amounts of the notable equipment that I have:

20x reppu, 24x ryuusei kai, 22x suisei 12A, 2x JU87C, 12x saiun, 4x type 2 recon plane,

2x 51cm prototype,  20+x 46cm, 20+x 41cm, 10+x 35.6cm prototype variants, 5x 38cm kai, 6x 381mm kai,

8x 10cm HA+AAFD, 20+x 10cm HA, 16x 12.7cm HA late war model, 10+ 12.7cm type B, 20+x quintuple oxygen torps,

2x 20.3cm SKC, 20+x  20.3cm (no.3), 10+x 20.3cm (no.2), 8x 15.2cm kai, 20+x 15.5cm(red), 10+x 15.5cm yellow, 2x OTO (yellow), 3x 90mm Italian HA,

2x WG42, 10x type 3 ammo. 8x type 91 ammo, 4x type 1 ammo, 2x type 32 kai radar, 4x type 32 radar, 4x type 14 radar, 2x FuMO25 radar, 2x type 21 kai radar, 10+x type 21 radar, 4x type 22 kai 4 radar, 10+x type 13 kai radar, 5+ type 22 radar, 5+ type 13 radar, 1x 25mm concentrated AA, 3x each of the 2 kinds of German Flak, 4x PomPoms

8x type 3 depth charge, 20 type 3 sonar.

I probably missed some out but you get the idea. I didn't list the enhancements to them but if you can, they should be enhanced as much as reasonably possible without wrecking your resource and equipment stockpiles.

~Mentality~

If you intend to front line, you must be prepared to experiment and be creative. If something doesn't work repeatedly, switch combinations. Be prepared to swap equipment between runs to ascertain if a boss is an installation type or not. Recall what Einstein once said, "Insanity: doing the  same thing over and over  again and expecting different results."

Be flexible.

When frontlining, you will run into multiple failed combinations. Even if you do get through to the boss node, you may want to experiment to check if you're going through the hard route or the easy route.

Don't forget to take frequent screenshots so that you can easily recall your deployments and the enemy formations for reporting.

I'm not sure about other players but I do what I was taught: "be logical, use common sense and remain emotionless". This means that I see a game as just a game, there is no joy, no sorrow, no excitement, no anger, no frustration, no pride, no shame, no guilt. If you're frontlining to help the community,  you can't afford to let your emotions get the better of you and waste each run.

Hope all these will help you.
