Thanks for the feedback.

To answer/address some of your thoughts to explain the method to the madness:

I am aware that my DDs are kind of lacking, but all of the DDs that are at K2 have max-stats except AA and I can fill out a Transport Fleet with K2 max-stat DDs...not the best DDs, but the ones I like.

This said, I am working on getting all of them at the very least to K2 (or at least Kai in those that don't have a K2 yet) if for nothing else except their cool gear.

Frankly the jury is still out on whether or not I am going to keep Ayanami once I get her gear at K2 (I made a list of ships I want to get to K2 for gear purposes, quests and the like and I don't remember where I put Ayanami XD)...and I'm not sure if Asashio is worth it at the moment. I mean, she doesn't get any new equipment and there are other DDs that do give equipment and the like.

No Akizukis, I did try to farm for them during the Summer Event, but I was given some other hard-to-find/event-only ships instead (Prinz, Amagi, 2x U-511s...). I imagine that the new one will be a reward ship and I see no reason why she would not join my fleet...but yeah, I'd like some Akizukis...if for nothing else than I like thier artwork :3

As for Jintsu and Naka; I will admit that I had them for awhile, but was forced to cull them out when I was a 100-slotter and found myself making use of the Agano-Class as my CL's of choice...and the only reason why some of the CLs (such as Natori, Nagara and Kuma) are getting love is because most of the CLs I have are about where I want/need them to be (or so I think). This is not to say I won't go back to Naka and Jintsu...if only to get all 3 of them together with Sendai...but yeah.

Haguro and Myoukou are better than Ashigara and Nachi? Really? Anyway, those 2 are in the same boat (heh) as Jintsu and Naka; but given that I got my other CAs to K2, I can focus on those two...besides, I know there's a quest that requires 3 out of 4 of them, so all 4 will get to K2...eventually...

My CAVs are... I don't know actually. I thought out of the 4, Kumano was the weakest? I could be wrong here... either way, she's got awhile for K2, and I think Suzuya will get to that point first... either way, I think that is a weak point out of the fleet; I rely so much on Suzuya, and I kinda feel 'bleh' if I need 2+ CAVs for, well, anything really. This said, moving forward (thinking after-event here), should Kumano get the BP before Chikuma, as Chikuma is ready to go right now?

Jun'You and Ryuujou are my present go-to CLs so they can get XPs, I'm finding Ryuujou a little harder to work with than I'd like due to her limited plane-slots though...

Now, I am aware that many of my choices for ships in particular (such as Hamakaze getting the first ring and is first waiful) are waifu/art/character-based rather than stat-based...which may or may not be a hinderance... but meh?

As far as equipment goes, I've been making it an effort to get good/decent gear in a (reasonably) effecient manner. I mean, there are some things I could have more/better of (such as Medium or Large main guns), but I just don't have the resources (screws) to drop in their development right now. For the WG42's, I think you were just looking at the preview or something because I have 3 of those (1 from each U-511 and 1 from the Saury reward).

I do my damndest to make sure my girls come home; there are rare exceptions, such as making a 'calculated risk' during sparkle-farming with common 1-1 DDs and a stint of Sink-Tests for the Combined Fleet mechanic I used during the Summer event (I heard that the 2nd Flagship was unsinkable, but the 'newest' info on that was 1-2 years old and again, I was using common-drops/dupes).

In any event, thank you for taking the time to look over my fleet and gear; I will look into boosting the strength/levels of my CAVs and get more DDs to higher levels.
