Master Shinhwalee does it again, another damn fine guide to enlighten the community.

In this Spring Event, I will not be touching Hard modes, and if I get screwed by shiplocks (which I suspect I will despite having several ships available) I won't hesitate in switching back to Easy.

I was kind of expecting to get a few medals this event, but I guess it was high expectations ... oh well, there's always 1-5, 2-5 and 3-5.

You recommend, and well, to farm for drops before clearing the map. I do the other way: first clear the whole event, taking care to choose the lowest difficulty possible to get me good rewards while enabling my desired ships farming; then, after clearing the event, spend the remaining resources and sanity farming my desired ships.

I plan on clearing the event in one week, one map a day, and spend the remaining event time farming. There are a couple ships that I know for sure I won't be getting: Harusame and maybe Isokaze, as it seems that they may be Hard mode only drops ...

I don't care about the First Class medal and the bragging rights of full Hard mode clear ... All I want is to clear the event, get some event only ships and return to my day-to-day routines.
