^don't say instead, because pre-ASW is a new mechanism and new mechanisms have always been used in the next events. And you don't know what kind of branching there will be, so having 2DDs should be safe.

@Flokk

With 3xType 3 Sonars, DDs with 70 ASW base stat can utilize pre-ASW ability. It's enough to reach ASW dmg cap unless it's head-on. If you still insist on equipping Depth Charges, then 72 ASW base stat will be needed.

Your Satsuki K2 needs 1-3 more ASW stat so leveling her a bit should be a piece of cake.

And I suggest Hibiki because she can be very useful. My 91 lvl Hibiki has exactly 70 ASW stat. Your Hibiki has 30 more lvls to go but we still have about a month, so it's not a problem. +She can equip bulges which make her more tanky, making it extremely useful in Transport Escort missions.

Asashio can also do the same but her FP is reduced greatly in K2D form (I'm suspicious about that low FP won't matter as we get huge pre-cap bonuses by daihatsus but this info is subject to change).

Apart from those 3 kanmusu i mentioned above, the rest is indeed okay. There isn't much difference between 60 lvl and 70 lvl ships, so don't waste resources for a mere 10 lvl or so.

If you stockpile hard enough, you might even clear all in hard mode, but that also depends on what tanaka has in his mind for us.
