I think you can do full hard, of course that depends on the event and you do need to work on a few things.

Dont know how much resources you have, anyway lets look at your fleet.

The good news: FBB is pretty strong, although missing Hiei ( I assume that is a Bismarck K3) CV is good (missing Zuikaku, not sure if you dont have her or just didnt level her up). CVL is alright, (after RJ K2, I would get at least one of Chitose/Chiyoda to 50 as backup). CL is strong, but missing levels on Jintsuu, the best Firepower+tropedo CL. CLT are fine.

The bad news: Slow BB is in big trouble, you want to do hard, you going to need those powerful and slow BB (ideally Yamato class, but you dont have them) and your Nagato class is way under leveld. then you dnot even have a K2 Fusou class as subitutue. I strongly recommend getting Both Nagato and Mutsu to 75+ at least (ideally 85+ for hard final map) and Fusou to 80. (in prepartion to K2)

CA lacking depth, 3 high level CA is good. But not quite enough, add Myoukou so you have 4, thats bare pass. I would say at least have another 1-2 CA at lvl 50+ as backup and use them for eariler maps if ship lock does force you to sav eyour best CA for later maps.

CAV: again super weak, no Tone class and no ship above lvl 60 will hurt you extremly badly when CAV is needed (they might not be, but then you need to use CA most likely as replacment) Chikuma K2 should be no1 pritory on your list. and get Suzuya/Kumano both to 65 as backup CAV. (This should be easy while you grind your BB at 3-2A, use CAV as helper)

DD: lack depth, I would say you have 3 end game ready DD, which is not plenty. Hatushimo is quite weak. Although Ayanami+Yukikaze are the golden couple for last map. Ideally Terzukui should be 80+ in case you choose her for last map AA power. Try to get Shigure K2 and level up Ushio/Yuudachi a bit more. THhen you should be ok.

Overall a strong fleet, however serverly lacking punching power in Slow and powerful BBs. Lacking numbers in CA CAV and DDs.

Equipment:

Enough Reppuu, shells and bombers. Although more Ryuusei kai doesnt hurt. and a few more 12A might be good idea. 2 Saiun is just pass as well. So i would say keep your 4 daily crafting of plane going.

UPgrade wise:

Focus on no 3 20.3 cm (which I dont think you have any?) Just do no2 (get 2-4 +4) as backup

All quint oxy tropedo should be +6. (you can upgrade 1-2 Quad, to make up for the number)

41 cm should be upgraded, so start with 4X41+1, move towards 4X41+4 in the long run.

38cm Kai should be upgraded (since you have bismarck you should have them). again start with +1, move to +4

381cm Kai is worth upgrade, but lower than the last two I mentioned.

You can upgrade 2 35.6cm as backup for those better cannons. (great for Krishima, since she doesnt lack firepower, while other Kongou class is better with 41cm to make up for their lack of FP)

91 AP shell 4X+6. Pretty easy.

These should keep you busy for a while.

Best of luck!
