You should be alright in normal, and tackle a few maps in hard. The biggest problem with your fleets like in DDs, which is going to be hard to rush out. (4-3 or 5-1 grind all eat buckets)

Kai ni all Kongou class.

Kai ni Souryuu/Hiryuu. and get 2 more CV (Kaga and one you perfer) to 75 at least. Level the other 2 CV (ignoring Katsuargi) to 70.

YOu need more levels in CVL, they are not same as CV and sometimes are not interchangable. For example Surface Task force combined fleet can use 2 CVL but only 1 CV. So you need to Kai 2 Junyou. and at least get Hiyou to 70. But you also need Chitose sisters (at least 1) to 50. Bec they are fast CVL (comparing to slow of Junyou/Hiyou) for routing and shiplock.

CA: You are pretty good, get Tone (Chikuma) to Kai ni if you can. might be hard and need BP. Even without K2 Tone class are very powerful CA, and eventually will be Kai 2 into CAV (best int he game easily)

CAV: Much weaker, you need those 2 at 60+ at least. and ideally add 1 Tone class to your list.

CL: No Jintsuu is going ot hurt. but K2 her in short time you hav emight be hard. Just give those 3 a bit more levels, try to get them to all 70+

CLT: just keep PVP, they should be 75 ish when event starts.

DD: Your biggest problem. I suggest K2 Fubuki, get Shigure, Poi, Yukikaze, Shimakaze all to 70+ then you are alal good, but this is a big project.

And no, you do have enough resources, Hell you are nearly doubling the soft cap.

It is not a good idea to go over soft cap when you are grinding. Have you sit down and think how much resources you lost? (Natural regen is 1440 ammo/fuel a day, a week tahts around 10,000.

Going for medium, you should not stockpile this early, but you should use natural regen to give you maximum amount of resources to grind. Then 1 week before event starts, go to stockpile.

Remember this, event lasts for 21 days (3 weeks at least). you can get more than 6K of ammo a day easy (with natural aregen and sparkle expedition) so 20X6=120K resources.. thats more than enough to beat the event.

Many people on chinese fourm are pormising to even beat hard mode with only soft cap resources to start with.

Buckets is another story, you can only get 10-20 a day (depends on how much exp 2 you run and your luck with them) so it is suggested to stockpile them as early as possible. (Lucikly 3-2 A grind eats 0 buckets anyway)

but you have more than 700 which is fine.

Equipment:

Not enough Reppeu (or any other planes in fact) So you should stick ot daily crafting at least. You want 6 Reppeu for event at least. ideally 8+ (no Shiden doesnt count)

Guns; can't see any 41cm or 46cm or 20.3 cm (no3)

AA: DO NOT UPGRADE TO 12.7CM HA+FD.

I REPEAT DO NOT DO IT.

It is a piece of junk. 90mm from itlian ship does exactly the same thing and will not eat your screw. You should upgrade to 10cmHA+FD. (this is a DD main gun, that 12.7cm is a secondary gun, they are completely different)

But you need fubuki K2 to do this.

Radars, need more 32, but thats harad and a long project, just dont worry.

Ammo fine: jsut eat those extra 91 shell by modifcation your exisiting one (you only need ot leave 5 in your bank)

I repeat, there is no point stockpiling now, bec you still have to work on your fleet. I said this in other post and i will repeat. Lets say you saved 100k resources wiht what you have and og into event the following can happen:

1) You breeze through normal, good job, and you ahve all these left over resources. (kind of pointless)

2) Your fleet is underleveled and you spend many more resources (keep trying) to beat the event. Anyway you did it.

3) your fleet is underleveled and even when you used all 100K you still failed, god damn it.

4) You keep failing and hence went back to training, you used all your reources and eventually beat the event, good job.

YOu trained your ass off for 10 days, then stockpile only 30K into event: (You sit back during first few days and wait for guide, your resources goes to 50k ish)

5) You smash through normal and some maps on hard, you got much more reward. Although your resources is dry.

6) Your well prepared fleet beat normal with what you have. It is ok.

7) Even your well prepared fleet had no RNG and you failed ot beat event on normal.

8) cant happen since you already done the training.

So lets compare the 2 cases.

1 to 5, obviouslly 5 is better, you got some hard rewards.

2 to 6, it is the same but you come out wiht a much higher lvl fleet for future event in 6, while in 2 you kind of wasted your resources on re-trying

3 to 7, same results, but more likely for 3 to happen than 7, an underleveld fleet will struglge no matter how much resources you put into them. While at least in 7, you have a much better fleet for future event.

4 to 8, obviouslly 8 is better. Why do training in event, when you can do them before event.

I hope this makes it clear why i argue against stockpile now.
