I've done 2 events so far and they have been ok on easy and normal.

To be honest the ammount of resources seems ok if you have no intention of farming for a particular ship and you are going all on easy. Your buckets seems quite low tho. (I would go for 300+ at least). there is no need to get more bauxite or steel. get as much Fuel as you can (You end up using a ton of fuel because of fuel compsumtion in sorties and repairs).

If you are going to try some maps on medium be carefull with the Ship Locking system (on the Mechanics tab). Your ships lvl are ok for an all-on-easy run too.

Based on what the devs have said, the coming event might be from 5 to 7 maps I guess (with that "all out war" stuf etc).

If this is your first event, there are some things to take in count:

- Wait 2 to 4 days after the event starts to start it: Let the front runners gather information on enemy team comps and map rewards. Use those days to gather more ress, and it will help you to decide which comp is the best. It will help you to save a ton of ressources and you can even try some maps on medium..

- Get at least 2 to 3 Type 3 Shell and 1-2 Type 91 Armor Piercing Shell. For sure there will be installation type boss and some with thick armour.

- I hope you have a couple of deph charges and sonars (about 2 of each at least). there is a chance of Submarine Hime reapearing as a boss.

- Consider getting Abukuma Kai Ni or Ooshio Kai Ni if you do not have a Daihatsu Landing Craft. Devs have been crazy with those things vs installation type enemies. If for whathever reason there is a map that requires you to use only CL and DD vs some of those enemies you might have a hard time.

- Abukuma Kai Ni is OP (personal opinion). She is pretty much a CLT disguised as a CL so you can bring her where CLTs cant go. That opening torp can help you a lot and her night combat is really good if you equip her with 2 15.5cm Triple Secondary Gun Mount (or OTO 152mm Triple Rapid Fire Gun Mount ) and 1 Kouhyouteki

- I hope you have Good Radars, both Air radars and regular ones. They will help you a lot on support expeditions.

- Do not be afraid of using support expeditions in order to save buckets and even resources. It migh be overkill on some cases but it will save you from retreating with a defeat at the boss node just because you had bad luck. I have done it on my last 2 events and even some maps on hard mode were a piece of cake thats to the use of support expeditions. however BE CAREFUL: Do not spam support exps if you are having a hard time reaching the boss node. Your resources will be consumed before you can notice. Also, make sure you have some radars to put on them, or they will fail their shots pretty often (specially on the last maps). Here is a relatively "cheap" and efective support expedition comp I use often:

Put bombers that add accuracy in your CV(L) to increase your chances of hiting the enemy. Same for guns, any gun that adds accuracy helps. however I have read somewhere there is no point using guns improved trought  Akashi's Improvement Arsenal  because the added benefits are not counted on support expeditions.

- Max your CV(L)s firepower trought Modernization. It will increase their DMG input during shelling phase, also will increase their dmg when used in support expeditions.

- Make sure your best Planes and Seaplanes are at double chevron >>. If you have no idea what I'm talking about read about Aircraft Proficiency

That's all I can think about at the moment. Take in count that's how I play, so there might be inaccurate information on my post.

Good luck with the event.
