I have no idea how you struggled with Spring 2015, since spring was a pretty mild compared to previous events. Therefore, im not sure if you're trolling, but ill assume with good faith you're not.

Ships

DDs: Seem well leveled all around. Only thing i can point out is that you're missing Yukikaze who would be a nice torp CI DD.

CL(T): Your top 2 CLs are well leveled. And the next 2 are decently leveled. Total CLs are kinda lacking, but CLs arent used very often so you should be fine. CLTs are well leveled.

CA(V): Your top 3 CAs are good, the next 3 are fine. Your top 3 CAVs are good. Total number of CA(V)s may be a little worrying if theres excessive shiplocking, but you'll probably be fine. Maybe get Ashigara and Mogami to 70+.

CV(L): Your CVs are good. Maybe want to level shokaku and Unryuu a bit to be on the safer side. 4 CV(L)s may be a little lacking, 5 or 6 would be nice. At least get Chiyoda to k2 and you should be alright.

BB: Your top 7 BBs are nicely leveled. It may be kinda painful that you dont have a 2nd 41 proto from yamashiro k2, especially since you dont have akashi. 7 BBs may not be enough if theres excessive shiplocking, so get your Yamashiro and Mutsu to 70+ or 80+.

SS(V): Your subs look fine. Its very rare to sortie multiple subs, so you should be fine.

Aux: You didnt show any aux ships which may be used for routing purpsoes. Although not required, you may want to invest a little bit of time into some aux for routing purposes.

Equips

Large guns: Again missing that 2nd 41 proto might be a problem. Unfortunately, i cant see if you have any 35.6 protos or 41s or 35.6s and how many you have. Although you dont need a lot, having a couple will be necessary. And especially since you dont have akashi, the 35.6 protos would be helpful.

Planes: You could probably use a few more dive bombers, especially since dive bombers are the best for support expeditions. Otherwise, you seem fine.

Radars: Itd be nice if you could get some more T32s and T33s. Radars increase acc on support exps, so itd be best to equip several on your support. Its not necessary, but it may help.

Other notes

Akashi: Akashi isnt required to beat events, but definitely recommened. The first thing you'd probably want to make is 10cm HA +AAFDs so you can properly equip DDs for AACIs. You could upgrade your T91 AP shells to +6 since its pretty cheap and improves the FP to better than T1s (though i dont think it improves the acc). You can improve 35.6s or 41s so that you can shell better. 5 star guns are better than their proto counterparts, and 35.6 is pretty easy to get to 8 stars. Quints may be nice to mod for stronger Torp CI for KTKM. To farm your first akashi, 2-5 is generally the recommened place.

Rsc: You're at hardcap for fuel and almost hardcap for ammo and steel. You only need like 50k of each to clear hard....

Tips: Learn combat mechanics like fit guns, modding, and what nots. If you understand these mechanics, its pretty easy to know how your ships should be equiped. Also, if you really are scared to sortie the event, wait for a couple of days so that the frontliners can gather info and then you can breeze through the event
