Hi again.

I commented on your fleet just before the summer event, and I just wanted to express how much your fleet has improved since then. I agree with Jenesis33. You've done a great job, and it's a very well rounded fleet. Keep up the good work!

Jenesis wrote everything needed for this event, so I'll put some long term goals for after the event is over.

Your choice now is to either stockpile or to focus on leveling your destroyers. Each have a compelling argument, and they're both good choices. Stockpiling will give you more chances to sortie in the event, while leveling your ship and staying at softcap increases your success rate for each map. It's a tough choice..

Ship levels:

A wise admiral once wrote when I started, "One ship good, two ships better." I'm glad I followed his advice, and I recommend you to follow it too. Create a fleet with depth, and don't become an admiral who neglects ship depth for the sole purpose of getting a married ship. As experience points goes, level 88 is the halfway marker in between level 1 and 99, so don't fall for that trap!

Ships to level (In addition to Jenesis's comment): Nachi, Ayanami, and Akashi. Nachi and Myoukou for a monthly repeatable quest. Ayanami since she is arguably the best well rounded destroyer. Akashi (once you farm her in an event map or world 2-5) since levelling her increases success rate for the improvement arsenal.

Weekly and monthly quests:

Work your way to unlock monthly quests. You'll quickly become starved of improvement materials once you attain Akashi. This picture shows what I do to get my weekly screws.

Every week, I sparkle at 1-1, orel cruise for carriers at 2-3, hunt for submarines at 1-5, and then alternate between subcheesing at 4-2 and tackling remaining world clear objectives.

Equipment crafting:

Hmm... planes. Junyou at 80 will give another Reppu, and you'll get Iwamoto and Iwai after leveling Shokaku. That should be enough. But I only see 4 good torpedo bombers. I think it's odd that you have so few Ryuusei Kai for the amount of great fighters you have. Oh well, you'll be fine without it... probably. There's plenty of elite planes stronger than or strong as Ryuusei Kai out there.

Once the event is over, go heavy with 20 20 250 250 with a carrier flagship for Radars, Observation seaplanes, and Reppuu. 10 300 250 10 with a battleship flag for AP shells and 46cm cannons.

Equipment crafting goal (very long term): 8x 46cm cannons to keep, 6x Type 0 Observation Seaplanes, enough T32 and 33 RADARs to at least supply two support expeditions, T3 ASW equipment to gear a few more ships.

Lesser crafting priority: excess 41cm cannons, excess T91 AP shells, excess 46cm Akashi fodder cannons.
