yes and no

Sometimes it will boil down purely to the stats and not being able to deal the right damage

Sometimes you can get away with murder

In the regular game you can pretty much do what every you want as long as you undstand the actual limits of the fleet, like when you simply must use Kaga if you want to get AS/+. When it comes to doing Hard mode on events it's a different story. While it isn't all best girls or youre fucked you do need to have a strong core and variety of ships. There are certain ships that you really can't go without..

Even if you don't plan on playing at a "high level" you should still be capable of reaching up into hard mode to grab a nice item when the oppritunity presents it's self, E1 as an example, though it wouldnt have been a good idea for you to try while you were so new, if a similar situation happens next event you'll be ready to do a hard stage. 4-5 is a good taste of what hard is usually like.
