There are lots of ways to improve on so try to get as many of your kanmusu level up and develop as many equipments possible. You have quite an opportunity to compete Hard mode so don't waste it.

[Fleet]

DD - Looks good but lacks AACI DD, although you don't have Akizuki/Teruzuki, you should make an effort to remodel Fubuki/Hatsushimo to Kai Ni rather than relying on Maya and Isuzu for AACI. Try to get Shigure remodelled into Kai Ni as soon she is levelled up + rare DD such as Libeccio, Urakaze, Hamakaze for better equipments.(keep Libeccio for ASW purpose DD)

CL - Excellent, you have Abukuma and Jintsuu as the highest level CL. The only thing concerns now is to get Ooyodo for Fleet Command Facility, very useful equipment that is really handy for retreating Taiha kanmusu. Try to find her if you have the time.

CLT - If you're able to convert Kiso to Kai Ni, it would be worth while for her 61cm Quintuple (Oxygen) Torpedo.

CA - I can see that you're trying hard to level some CA while trying to modernise the Kai Ni variants. Keep it up! In case you have a BP, all i can say is DON'T REMODEL CHOUKAI FIRST, leave the BP for other kanmusu first such as Tone/Chikuma/Fusou/Yamashiro/Zuikaku/Shoukaku

CAV - Ok for the time being. Consider redmoelling Tone/Chikuma first.

FBB - Excellent

BB - Excellent but try to level Mutsu more often.

BBV - Great but try to focus on getting Fusou level up rather than focusing on Hyuuga or Ise. Ise and Hyuuga are as bad as CA's firepower so don't bother levelling them unless you really intend to use them for shiplocking.

CV - Try to get Hiryuu to her kai ni level then focus on getting the first/second Prototype Flight Deck Catapault from quest for Zuikaku since you have Akigumo and Zuihou.(you will need to get Chitose and Chiyoda CVL ASAP for catapault quests)

CVL - Looks ok but can be improved on. I strongly suggest levelling Jun'you to Kai Ni first before focusing on others. You may also wish to get another pair of Chitose and Chiyoda to convert them into CVL @ level 15 and level them to level 50.(its a must for catapault quests)

[Equipments]

Just by looking at the equipments, i can easily tell that you have been focusing on radars alot quite recently. Don't bother about radars first, your planes are really outdated as compared to the best planes that can be crafted. Therefore, focus on getting the planes crafted first. It would do you good if you can craft as many of such planes as possible.

Fighter - You need a minimum of 6 high quality planes(Reppuu and Shiden Kai II), it would be wise to get more of such planes to replace the zero fighter variants.

Torpedo Bomber - Craft as many Ryuusei (Kai) as possible, its a must for the main fleet.

Dive Bomber - Just like the Torpedo Bomber, you will need to craft as many Suisei Model 12A as possible. This is to equip the CV(L) for support expedition.

As for why dive bombers for support expedition and torpedo bombers for main fleet, equipping Ryuusei Kai or Suisei Model 12A forsupport expedition have its same effect. Equipping Ryuusei Kai for the main fleet is much more effective for elminating/disabbling the opposing fleet firsthand.Thus torpedo bombers are to be equipped by the main fleet at all times leaving the Suisei Model 12A for the support expedition.

Don't worry about not getting Akashi, worry about your fleet first. Stay softcap and stay away from LSC is the key to maintain high productivity. You will gain more resource that way. Good Luck! o7
