Whoops, I meant Ashigara not Haguro, my apologies. For now between Ashigara or Kinugasa is really dependant on what you want, Ashigara for another CA that is powerfull, or Kinugasa who is moderate but will bring you a 20.3(3) turrent.

Good decision on LSC. Definatly do not do LSC when you are preparing for an event, even if you do get what you were aimming for, it's not worth the resources. (A level 1 Yamato isn't going to be much help in the event, same goes to any other ship.) LSC after event is always better, so long as you don't completely cripple your resources.

Improving with Akashi is kind of.... situational. it really depends on what the event will be focused on. However for a general start, always get at least 4 AP shells to +6.

(Don't bother about upgrading Type 1 AP shells yet, it's really costly and a +6 Type 91 AP shell will out perform a base Type 1 AP shell)

Following that is 61cm Quintuple Oxygen Torpedos to +6 since you will definalty be using those on either your CLT, ABKM or DDs.

After that you'll have a choice between your 20.3(2) and 20.3(3) turrents (Prioritise Number 3 Turrents over Number 2) or Type 3 Active Sonars, all to +6.

Why +6 you ask? Because after +6, improving will start to consume equipments, so for now we leave them at +6.

Note when Improving: Don't focus just one equipment, Spread out the upgrading between all your equipments. It's better to have two of the same equipment at +4 than one at +6 and the other +2.

There are a tone of thing you'll need to upgrade as you progress through the game. Some examples are and not limited to:

The equipments mentioned above, 10cm High Angle Mount + AAFD, 15.2cm Twin Gun Mount Kai, 35.6cm Twin Gun Mount, Prototype 35.6cm Triple Gun Mount, 41cm Twin Gun Mount, Prototype 41cm Twin Gun Mount, 38cm Twin Gun Mount Kai, 46cm Triple Gun Mount, OTO 152mm Triple Rapid Fire Gun Mount, Radars, Carrier based fighters..... etc etc

Tthere is a lot of work to do. Heck even I haven't finished upgrading my equipments, and I probably never will.

But don't worry, Upgrading equipments isn't going to make or break your game, it just reduces the likely hood of you being RNG'd by the game.

(By that I mean when your battleship shoots at the enemy battleship but unfortunatly they survive with 3 health left. With improved equipments, you can drop the chances of that ever happening)

On a completely different note, Your Akashi is 33. I suggest getting her to 35 so you may obtain another ship repair facility, that way, your Akashi will be able to repair 3 ships below Minor damage.

Happy Training, and may the odd be forever in your favour.

No I am not a hunger game fan.
