Board Thread:Fleet's Prepared-ness/@comment-26350186-20150721174023

Hey all, I posted a question a couple weeks ago and I'm posting again with my current fleet.

Just some background--I started playing almost exactly 4 months ago (3/22) and Spring '15 was my first event. I completed it on easy (E-1 and E-5 on medium). I was chomping at the bit to try hard this time, but from feedback last time and reading over other posts, it doesn't look like I can do it with my fleet levels and horrid lack of Reppuus. I've been crafting planes daily, but all I have to show for the last two weeks are +2 Shiden K2s.

So I guess my current question is what should I do to strengthen my fleet for medium? And how unrealistic is it to do part of the event on hard? (Also the equip improvement is weird, sorry--I improved a lot of random stuff just to make use of the free daily impmat)
