Gotcha, gonna swap stuff around and see how well that works.
Edit: I FINALLY DID IT
Looks like keeping torps on Super Kitakami-sama (if only for the Ko-hyoteki was a good decision \o/ The whole run up to that point was a train wreck, what with Katsuragi dropping to red on the
first node just cuz I decided to switch flagship position to Kaga, then using up her damecon on boss node, Hyuuga hitting orange also on first node, preemptive attacks being somewhat better but still utterly failing to finish off anything, escort fleet missing EVERY SINGLE ATTACK during day battle, AND Isuzu and Inazuma being critted straight down to 1 hp during day battle (seriously, how the hell did a DD of all things manage to basically one-shot a max armor remodeled DD ;_; ) Verniy didn't proc her DA with 3 guns equipped and Mogami missed one of her DA shots, again proving my generally shitty luck, but then Kitakami saved the day with a 247 cut-in crit \o/
So...Akitsushima. Seems like another one of those rare support-type ships. She's cute, but doesn't seem particularly useful; the seaplane on her remodel might come in handy later though, so for now I suppose I'm putting her on expedition duty.
Sooo that about wraps up Spring 2015 event for me! Let's see spoils: All 4 Kongou-class ships, Mutsu, Littorio, Akitsushima, Katsuragi, Kaga, 2 of those OTO yellow cannons, 3 41cm twin guns (didn't have any before this, only ever got 2 thanks to my horrible luck, which both sank with Haruna the First and my terrible decision making), Tenzan 601 Air Group, 2 381mm/50 triple guns, and I think a prototype 35.6cm triple gun (already forgot where I got that from, herp), a whole freaking lot of exp (seriously, I went from 1 fleet with avg levels of 60 to 2 fleets with avg levels of 53, this event alone was apparently responsible for at least a third of all exp I ever got), and most importantly, a darn good time! Now that I'm starting to get the hang of doing events, getting non-basic equips and actually having more than like 7 ships decently leveled, I think I'm gonna start showing up for events more often :V Progressing through the main maps seems dull in comparison! Though I guess in the interim I should actually take the time to grind a bit to get myself some searchlights, huh.
With the 4th fleet slot unlocked, I can more or less pace myself to keep resources alive while sortieing. I suppose it's time to farm Roma \o/
