[!] Revised version by the two commenters above + my thoughts and suggestion for Easy-Medium clear.

Difficulty : 💀Easy Clear /w  💀 💀 Medium

Weakness: Shiplocking, poorly trained DD and lots of Kai kanmusu.

[Fleet]

I'm abit worried about your resource you have currently have, this is mainly because you have only 3 high level DD which means expedition 37/38 might be near impossible for you. I'm taking that you have not acquire enough resource so we will be reviewing for Easy-Medium clear.

Asking someone to train many kanmusu to level 70 is a little overkill and eats alot of resource + wastes time. In my experience, it would take aproximately a few months to train up everyone to level 60+ from scratch. However in this case, training CL and DD will take 2~3 weeks or more cuz ur level 90+ which means 1-5 in not available for you + 4-3 eats a ton of resources + buckets. Therefore the   only option left is  PVP so challenge as many people as possible with your DD and CL.

You're not even launching a formidable force to tackle Medium/Hard so don't bother aiming for Kai Ni unless they are doable such as Myoukou. Besides, a Kai form kanmusu is far better than a freshly remodelled kanmusu which needs ton of work to max up the state again. My suggestion is you train up whatever kanmusu you can in your showcase to level 50~60 or close.

Therefore the type of kanmusu to train...:

DD - Yukikaze and Shimakaze + Ayanami if you're aiming for Medium, remodel is optional but rewarding.

CL - Isuzu only, 2CL is really just enough. [No point training Jintsuu now cuz it hurts your resource and time, unless you wanna send her for expedition first then slowly progress from there.]

CLT - Kitakami and Ooi [Chances are the CLT are banned on certain maps, this is why Abukuma is required for a reason]

CA - Tone (she will stay untill the event is over, therefore it makes 4 CA in total) + any 2 CA if you're bold enough for Medium( i suggest Aoba for low cheap luck tactics)

CAV - Kumano

FBB - Everyone especially Kongou. You may wish to remodel any 2 FBB if your progress is good.

BBV - Fusou and Yamashiro only, no need to Ise and Hyuuga cuz ur not launching a full assault to act as a decoy unit for shiplocking.

BB - Yamato [can be trained through PVP]

CV - Kaga and Akagi

CVL - Hiyou and Zuihou

[Equipments]

Moving on to equipments, you're most likely have no choice but to use all your best plane at the last resort. It is unlikely of you to craft much Reppuu, Shiden Kai II, Suisei Model 12A and Ryuusei Kai so stick to the basic first.

~6+ Fighters - Have about 6 Reppuu/Shiden Kai II in your hanger + Type 0 Fighter Model 52

~Plenty of Dive Bombers - Suisei Model 12A/Suisei for support expedition mainly.

~Plenty of Torpedo Bombers - Ryuusei (Kai) + Tenzan for your main fleet and to fill in any slots for support expedition.

~Sufficient amount of shells - at least 3x Type 3 and 3x Type 91 AP in your armoury.

[Akashi's section]

Since you have acquired Akashi some time ago, you will need to level her up to Kai form from PVP to gain an extra repair facility. Meanwhile, equipments will have to improved on so assuming that you have alot of screws acquired along the way, you might want to focus on the possible following:

3~4x 20.3cm (No.2) >>> +4 [eventually 4 of these equipments will be replaced by No.3 20.3cm]

All Type 91 AP shell >>> +6 [Easily done from daily quest]

2 x 35.6cm >>> +6 [Eventually will be replaced by 38cm if you have Bismarck in the future. Also, don't upgrade this 35.6cm (Max) into Prototype 35.6cm]

61cm Quintuple (Oxygen) Torpedo >>> +4~6 [Might sting a little cuz consumes 3 screws]

[Resource]

As for resource, i don't know how many resource you currently have but you're most likely going to stay softcap for the entire event. That means to stay under the automatic resource regeneration cap point at all times. This is something to take the advantage of cuz you will be needing alot of resource for training and crafting equipments especially the bauxite for planes. Oh btw, stay away from LSC.

If you're able to progress well and get everyone to level 60 + tons of resource waiting in your base, you might want to reconsider trying Hard mode for the first few maps /w the best rewards. However beware of shiplocking so make your decision properly and get the best out of the event. Good luck and good hunting! o7
