I'd start by bringing the following to 4☆ first:

1)38cm Kai x2 - Strongest cannon for FBBs, and is unlikely to become a victim of power creep anytime soon.

2) 20.3cm (#3) x4 - The possible 8 additional damage from equipping two 4☆ might be the difference between light or medium damage against an enemy. I recommend upgrading this over the 152mm OTO since the 20.3cm (#3) can also be used in every situation an 152mm OTO would be used other than using 4x secondary nighttime double attack or using a mixed daytime cut-in to purposefully reduce a ship's power.

3) 61cm Quint x6 - All destroyers other than Yuudachi need upgraded torpedoes to reach night battle cap. (Ayanami will need 2x 6☆ and one 5☆ Quint to reach cap.)

Then lower priority (in my opinion):

1) Battleship cannons of various calibers. ☆ 8

2)10cm+AAFD ☆ 4 x2 - Mixed cut-ins are to unreliable for the damage boost it gives, so a DA setup is better for AACI destroyers. You will need a 60+ luck destroyer in flagship position with all night battle equipment equipped to break even statistically.

3) Searchlight ☆ 4 x1 - Searchlights can also be used with most ships, and gives an additional 2 firepower with ☆ 4.

<p class="MsoNormal">Development:

<p class="MsoNormal">New evidence is disputing fit bonus for support fleets, so I recommend developing 46cm cannons until you get eight of them. As a bonus, it will also supply you with 41cm cannons and AP shells for failures.

<p class="MsoNormal">3-2A:

<p class="MsoNormal">Since you are grinding 3-2A, why not grind the Nagato-class, Souryuu, CLTs, and Mikuma/Kinguasa with your Hiryuu. Gather 5 of each and rotate them out with fatigue. You'll need alot more 20cm(3)s, 41cms, and Quint torpedoes for these improvement.

<p class="MsoNormal">More advice regarding screws:

<p class="MsoNormal">This chart might help you with your screw count. It's a weekly and monthly graph I made a few week back to support my daily improvements. It combines multiple quest objectives at the same time, so it might save you time and resources.
