If you fear you cannot kai ni the CA in time, Takao, Atago, and Myoukou Kai'ed can be just as great. They are the strongest CAs arounds (with the exception of some Kai Nis).

For your carriers, at least kai'ed and modernized is the minimum. (Fully modernized ships with the exception of AA is the more important than levels itself).

Fusou again kai'ed and modernized is the minimum.

Tama to level 40 maybe more realistic.

Shigure and Mogami sound good if you  have the time.

This is how I see your priorites:

Kitakami K2 > CV + BBV > CA + CAV > CL > DD (since you do have some high level DDs)

What really makes me fear for you besides what Stremespoat's said is you lack Type 3 Shells which is used to take down installation bosses. 2 is the minimum.

Equipment priorities would be as followed:

Fighter planes + Type 3 Shells > AP Shells > Radars (Ones that can be farmed off of Isuzu since you lack a great amount of Radars).

Finally a quote from an anon "Having strong ships will allow you to go up to the next difficulty but, the lack of resources will prevent you from doing anything."

Resources should be around 40k with bauxite around 20-30k and buckets at 250+. You don't want to miss out on some nice ship that you finally found worth giving your ring to.
