Ships
The amount of ships and level requirement of each ship class is heavily dependant on how far you intend to push with medium. To be on the safe side, i'll just assume u attempt to clear most maps on medium, where shiplock is present.


 * DD - 6-10 DD above level 60, with around 6 of the 6-10 DD's being level 80+. Generally your top 10 DD's are good choices, so all you need to do is level them up. Your Daihatsu abilities are lacking a bit though, so consider K2'ing a Daihatsu capable DD. Another thing to note is that you should get Ayanami and level her to K2. She is subjectively imo, the most powerful DD in the game due to her dmg and versatility - and i can 100% guarantee you will not regret it.


 * CL(T) - Looks fine. You will only struggle if shiplock forces you to have 3 CL's across different maps, but it should not be a problem given you a doing mixed easy/medium. Nice to see you have Abukuma K2. CLT's look good as well, but i would recommend pushing Ooi to K2 as soon as possible as her K2 stats are significantly stronger (both CLT's will probably be used a lot during the event, especially end-game).


 * CA(V) - Typically around 4-6 CA's above level 70-80 will suffice. A bit worrying that you are lacking the Myoukou class, so i'd highly recommend getting 2 of them to K2 form, i.e. Myoukou K2 and Haguro K2, since your CA's are pretty weak. They are some of the strongest CA's in the game, so it's good to have them both. For CAV, around 2-4 are required. Since you are doing mixed, i'd just say to level the 2 you have currently, (mikuma and mogami) to level 60-70.


 * (F)BB(V) - I'd recommend levelling 1 more FBB to K2, since it's possible that 4 FBB's could be required in a combined fleet. Either Kirishima or Bismarck would be good choices. You will need 2 of both BB and BBV classes, so level Mutsu to level 70, Yamashiro K2 or level 60-70.


 * CV(B/L) - 4-6 CV's are required, so i'd say you look pretty good. Level Akagi to 50 just in case. Generally you need around 2-4 CVL's, with 2 fast CVL's (Chitose + Chiyoda). Level Chitose, Chiyoda and Junyou to K2.


 * Other notes: Akashi to level 35. Mizuho to Kai.

Equipment

 * You probably need some more 20.3(2) and 20.3(3) guns, enough to fill your fleet. This is a bit tough to correct since they aren't exactly craftable, but this can be solved by levelling the Myoukou class, who naturally give the 20.3(2).
 * You can get an extra quintuple torp from Ooi K2.
 * Planes look pretty good, no need to improve here. (Optional) Keep crafting Ryuusei Kai's, since they are pretty amazing and finish the Crane quests for the +12 AA plane.
 * Craft 4 more T3 depth charge.
 * LBAS is hard to fix, since you can only craft the T96. That said, i'd recommend crafting 3-4 more T96, and using the quarterly quest to convert 1-2 of them to T1 aircraft.
 * Anti installation is good. Lacking a bit in the daihatsu department. Maybe consider K2'ing a BP DD that gives Daihatsu? e.g. Ooshio/Arashio?
 * Overall, you're pretty good in the equipment department.
