Ill try stating things that people in this thread haven't said yet.

Resources do not matter too much in easy, as long as they are hovering around softcap (with exception of bauxite) at approx 25k with expedition support. However, note that i said *hovering*, meaning that your resources should be at 25k when you initially begin the event. You must take the event slowly to reduce drainage on resources, i.e. don't spam sorties quickly. Bauxite needs to be over softcap at maybe around 30-35k to be on the safe side - as carrier fleets + LBAS can kill your bauxite.

Equipment wise you will probably need to craft more shells. Usually 3-4 T3's and 3-4 AP shells will suffice. Also, T3 shells are not armour piercing shells, they are specialised for AA due it's explosive dispersion, shredding aircraft with it's shrapnel. For planes you will need around 8 ish quality fighters (either Shiden K2 or Reppuu), and at least 4 each of Suisei M12A and Ryuusei Kai. Torp bombers (blue planes) are especially important for loading carrier fleets and LBAS, so consider upgrading all your blue planes to Ryuusei's or better. Since the first map is likely to be friendly to players, it probably will feature SS Hime, so also consider crafting better quality ASW equipment.
