@Segou:

Thanks for verifying that bit about Kinu K2; while she is a lower priority, the fact that she both comes with a Daihatsu and acts like one for Expeditions is a worthwile investment IMO (granted, there are some that have a higher priority for various reasons!)

I have the Model 62 F/B (Iwai) at max Star and Proficiency, and it is my go-to Red Plane for setting my CVs up for their Daytime CI (I was actually starting to feel a bit guilty about making that upgrade because I did it before I read everything).

I do not have a Max Star Model 21 (Skilled) as I upgraded that to a Model 32 (Skilled) that I am slowly working up to a Max Model 52 (Skilled), but I do have a Skilled Pilot lying around from... somewhere, I don't know how I got it, and it shouldn't take too much to get any of that given a sufficent number of screws.

Either way, I do have the 52A (w/Iwamoto) at max Star, so all that is needed would be to upgrade that to the Model 53 when I'm able to do that.

@Fackifiknow:

I am aware that Shoukaku and Zuikaku offer some really powerful planes (especially the Jet Aircraft), but I already have the best planes they could offer right now; moving forward either to Jet Aircraft or the Model 53 requires me to get both Zuikaku and Shoukaku at K2 (the quest that opens up F30 requires both to be at K2).

The source of my connundrum was that I had 1 BP in-hand. I was looking at easily having 1-2 BP in November (the *-5 maps for worlds 1 through 5) and whatever medals are awareded in the event or other quests that give medals...and having 2x BP in-hand makes those choices a bit easier IMHO.

...if this were purely about 'which ships I like best', this would be a no-brainer to me; it'd go to Amagi or Kinu as they are both cute, and I really could use a CL that can equip Daihatsus XD.

@Migdaloo

I'm not concerned about my resources per se. I mean, I am concerned about buckets, but my low steel/ammo are from a 2x LSC attempt at Bismarck and a really hard push to get through 4-5 and 5-4 in 1 day. I got both my ammo and steel past my soft-cap in a couple of weeks by casually working on some expeditions that happened to give fuel/ammo/steel while focusing on bauxite.

I can easilly spam ammo-giving expeditions and avoid anything more rigerous than Orel Cruising for a few weeks to recover those spent resources.
