nope,Full hard clear would be too hard for you(especially E-5 and E-6).

DDs: have at least 8-10 destroyes at level 60+ (ideally 70+) and have them fully modernized.

CLs: I think you're good but have at least 2 more Cls at level 60+ (ideally 70+)

CLTs: Great (just have them the best torpedoes and secondary guns for them [improved versions are better]

CAs: have at least 4-6 CAs at least at level 60+ (70+ ideally) [needs urgent levellling]

CAVs: 2 might not be enough for hard, have at least 2-4 CAvs ready and have them at least at level 60+ (ideal level 70+)

CVs: have the rest of your CVs[and create or get one more CV] and level them to at least level 60+(ideally 70+).

CVLs: Good CVLs, have 1 or 2 more CVL leveled to 60+ (ideally 70+)[personal opinion]

BBs: slightly bad, Have all of your BBs reach level 60+ (ideally at 75+), must let Haruna reach Kai ni(level 80).

BBVs: If you can possibly level both Fusou and Yamashiro to Level 80 (kai Ni levels) if not have them at least 60+.

- If you have Akashi, have your equipments improved because it is necccessary.

Equipments: well your fighter planes is already good enough, but try creating 2 more reppu just in case. craft at least 2-4 suisei model 12. Create more type 3 shells (3-5more) and AP shells(2-4 more). For guns, I have no Idea, I'm no expert on them.

I would prefer grinding your ships toward their Ideal level so that any salt taken would not be too salty fo you.(they would not get damage because of enemy is at least an elite or better.)

Even if you do have to do hard, you must have at least 100K resources each (50K+ Bauxite) and at least a 600+ buckets[1000+ buckets is better]. taking it to normal is better but you still have to grind your ships  if you do want to clear it in full normal.
