No, you won't be able to conquer Hard mode. (sorry) Just take a look at some of the ttk's fleet:

Seriously, most of the conquerer i have seen are far better than urs. Unlike most of your torpedo squadrons(DD/CL), theirs is far higher leveled and well equipped than urs.(having majority level 80+ fleet) Just stick to Normal and don't be like Napoleon or Hitler. They suck at invading Russia's winter even with a great mighty army. However, do not feel grieve if yet. You still can attempt Hard for better rewards. (btw, do you have any SS?) (try to level to level 70~80+)

1. Areas to focus: CVL, DD & CL(T):

~CVL: Train up Junyou and Ryuujou to kai ni as well as Hiyou to 70+

~DD/CL: Your achilles heels, CL looks ok but you could have picked Jintsuu cuz she has the best stats. For DD, continue to level up Yukikaze and Shimakaze as much as possible. It's also optional to have Fubuki level up to kai ni but its recommended. Lastly, add 2 more DD to secure shiplocking.

~CLT: You should continue to level them as much as possible to level

2. Improving and remodel ships: BB(V), CA(V), CV (to level 80+ or close enough)

BB(V): Continue to level them up as much as possible, focus on leveling the Fusou class (Fusou and Yamashiro) to level 80. Don't bother much about the Hyuuga class, they can stay as a reserve ship in case of shiplocking.

CA(V): Continue to level them just like the BB(V), you could have picked Tone class for CAV as well cuz she has a excellent stats for a CAV.

CV: Same comment as BB(V) and CA(V), Souryuu and Hiryuu could have leveled to kai ni.

Equipment:

Lacks of AP shells, you need 1 more at least. It seems you have not include your torpedo bombers and dive bombers(i assume ur confident about it), if not, please get more Ryuusei (kai) and Suisei Model 12A.

I don't know about you, but assuming you're able train them in the midst of the event, i would rather choose to clear Normal with the amount of resource i have now if i were you. But again, don't give up to Hard mode without a fight, you still have a chance to do it.

Good luck and good hunting! o7
