It's good to see that you are enthusiastic about it as it is something that has been dwindling around this game as of late, nevertheless allow me to try and make my case on some of the things you mentioned:

> The devs pointed out its going to be a large scale event, so the shiplocks are going to be there, and I hope to God it's not on Summer 17 levels of shiplock (locked almost 70 girls on that event), so the key is a balanced and evenly leveled fleet. Your fleet manages that criteria fairly well and hopefully you won't run into any major issues;

>I see you do not have all kongous on kai ni yet. Kai Ni Hiei, for there is a quest that gives a proto 35.6 if you have all Kongous on Kai Ni (A40), even if that quest is locked behind a marriage quest, I see you have a married girl already. That should aid you a little;

> Yes, blueprint have gotten bad recently, so I completely understand your predictment. If you remain undecided, all I can recomend is for you to wait until the event and see what girl might be most useful and blueprint her or them at the time;

> I would not recomend upgrading standard 41cm all the way to Proto 41cm, simply because the cost efficiency of this upgrade is questionable. Think about it you are going to get 3 Proto 41cm with Fusou-class and Nagato. Even if their remodel is post winter, it won't cost you a single screw, leaving you free to upgrade other stuff, case in point:

upgrading a standard 35.6 into proto 35.6 without slider will cost you 19 screws, while upgrading a 41cm will cost you 34, but you will want to use the slider on the last level because you don't want to risk losing these artillery materials, costing you approximately 2x Proto 35.6cm comparatively.

> My overall point with the upgrades was to focus on eventual upgrades for your future long term, if you plan on taking events on full medium and hard mode as well. Indeed none of them are vital for now, but believe me, you will be glad you have them;

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck!
