There's just too many factors. All I can say about AP shells is that I used a slider because I wasn't willing to eat any AP shell losses. Rare equipment that eats itself is usually not a candidate for going beyond +6 either.

I could make another max OTO and resist sliding over the next week but that won't contribute much.

As for thoughts on morale/sparkling, any volunteers to consider another approach? Tank your Akashi down to 0 morale and try a few upgrades. It's pretty much guaranteed to get to +5, and going to +6 fails once in a while, but perhaps a few low morale attempts might provide immediate results as to whether or not morale is a factor at all.
