Qunow wrote (in chat, based on doorblog source of Comptiq): Revised predictions:
 * Winter E3 will have gimmick but it is a new forn different from what used to be (no armor breaking this time)
 * It have been planned to implement a new form of attack with an image of land-based aviation group for abyssal side PT Imp Packs will appear in Winter Event Main Operation
 * It is possible to clear the event by changing difficulty if players doesn't have Rei-go related ships like Kasumi, Ashigara, Ooyodo and etc.
 * New Kanmusu come with the winter event would include Hatsuzuki from Akizuki class, a Yuugumo class DD and E3 will have a foreign ship.
 * It seem like implementation of Matsu Class will come early USN ships will be first implemented in the Vita Kancolle Kai, and is planned to implement into the browser edition in the fourth year of kancolle at or after this spring.
 * The early implementated USN ship would be related to the new US equipment and it would have a seiyuu new to kancolle
 * This year's theme would be the implementation of "Friendly side land-based aviation group"
 * Type 1 attack bomber, Ginga, land-based ASW plane Tokai and etc. are planned to be implement Implementation of the local-defense interceptor and famous planes from IJA are also desired to be implement.
 * E1 - 1 Medal for completing on Easy. +1 Reinforcement Expansion for Medium. 16inch Triple Gun Mount Mk.7 for Hard.
 * Boss: Either Abyssal Hagikaze or Jintsuu. Probably Hagikaze, so that her hyoteki can troll you some more.
 * Easy enough for new admirals to clear.
 * Combined fleet.
 * Shiplock 1.
 * Drops Arashi.
 * E2 - Mutsuki's predecessor for completing on Easy. Medal for Medium. 2 Medals for Hard.
 * Boss: Either a new Abyssal Heavy Cruiser or Battleship Water Demon.
 * Doable for new admirals on Easy, but Hard will give most admirals except vets pause.
 * Single fleet.
 * Shiplock 2.
 * Drops Akitsushima and Katsuragi. Akashi may drop at a < 0.3% rate. New Yuugumo class as boss drop.
 * E3 - Hatsuzuki for completing on Easy. Medal for Medium. Additional Class A Medal for Hard.
 * Boss: Kitanda or a new Air Defense Water Demon.
 * Difficult for normal admirals to clear on Easy. Hard will troll even veteran admirals.
 * Combined fleet. Probably STF on installation boss for debuffing routing, CTF for kill routing.
 * Debuff mechanic: After defeating the installation boss a set number of times to blow up an installation HP bar (or perhaps, just once per day), the installation will join your side of the war, and will apply an additional support airstrike-like mechanic on the E3 boss node that stacks with support shelling.
 * All shiplocks.
 * Drops Mizuho and Graf Zeppelin at debuff nodes. Drops new foreign ship (probably Maelstrale-class Italian DD), Mikuma, Kawakaze and Maruyu at boss node.
