First of all, you posted another player’s equipment list, so I won’t comment anything specific for now. Also, its 2 AM as I post this, so do forgive me in case I forget anything important – hopefully someone will correct me if that’s the case. On to your fleet:

DD: 7 is the bare minimum for sortieing a Transport Fleet, so get at least this many to a decent level. I’d suggest Kasumi, Shigure, Ayanami and Fubuki, all to Kai Ni, as well as giving some more levels to Yuudachi, Yukikaze and Shimakaze. If you somehow find the time to level a couple more besides the minimum, Satsuki, Akatsuki and Hibiki are all good, easy to find choices.

CL: Sendai Kai Ni is pretty much mandatory for the night battle equipment she brings, so start working on her ASAP. Abukuma and Jintsuu are also very strong picks, and yes, Abukuma is still one of the best ships to get a blueprint early on. Also, see if you can find Ooi and bring her to Kai Ni along with Kitakami and Kiso.

CA(V): finish getting Maya to Kai Ni, then move on to Myoukou-class. If you can’t train them all in time, Takao and Atago are somewhat strong alternatives that require a much lower level to be useful. As for CAV, get any Mogami-class you can find to a decent (~60) level. Tone-class is stronger, but given their high remodel level and the need for a blueprint, you really shouldn’t worry about them for now.

CVL: Chitose and Chiyoda have low Kai Ni levels and are very strong, so get them as both AV and CVL. Ryuujou is only strong at Kai Ni, so either go all-out with her or don’t bother. If you have the time, Jun’you and Hiyou are also worth leveling.

CV: Hiryuu and Souryuu to Kai Ni ASAP, both for their performance and the strong planes they have. Also, try to get any CV you have or find to a decent level. CV(L)s are very easy to train, so this shouldn’t be too difficult.

BB: all 4 Kongou sisters to Kai Ni – since they are your only FBBs, you’ll need all of them at a high level to deal with a possible fast-only STF route. Make sure you Kai and modernize all your other BBs, and give them some levels if you find the time.

I can’t see your equipment right now, but here are the important ones:

-At least 5 AP shells and 5 Type 3 shells;

-5 sets of Type 3 ASW equipment (1 set = 2 sonar + 1 Depth charge)

-Plenty of Reppu/Shiden Kai Ni and Ryuusei Kai (~10 each). These are expensive to craft, so don’t spam them; use your daily crafting quests instead.
