Oh wow, 12 runs total for both E-4 phases, that seems quite easy indeed. :O Also lucky that Asakaze dropped for you on your last Hard run, congratulations! ^_^

If I see it correctly, the Wo's at medium aren't Flagship level and there are only 2 BBs at node S. Definitely a significant difference indeed.

What do you mean with "currently short of Asakaze" though? Having a second Taitei-chan would be very good. I think the devs will allow you to sortie max 2 out of 3 air bases at all times in future events (like during this event). Regardless, having that second Taitei-chan can make a difference at boss nodes in "long" maps. It seems the trend is going the way of "long" maps indeed, since Spring 2016. If you can afford it, you should definitely farm for another Akitsushima. Also, I do the daily equipment modernization quest every day and rarely modernize more often than for those. If you play long enough, you'll eventually have quite a number of modernized equipment too! =P

I don't spend too much money on KanColle, only for ship slot expansions (not even repair dock expansions). I currently have 190 slots. If I were to buy rings for every level 99 shipgirl I have, I would have to get 100+ rings.. :/

PS. I think I got my second Taitei-chan from one of the events though.
