@dbSham glad you're willing to learn something. some newbies think they know it all, learn nothing, don't get better and flame everywhere.
Like the others said, watch the streamers, learn the mechanics (so not everything is a cheat :D ) and you will become better.
And i experienced, playing with other mates (which are more experienced then you) also helps you because you can ask them things as they are happening, like in that case "how can that ship fire so fast and without being spotted".
I hope you have fun playing WoWs and that I see you some time in the future helping other newbies with their problems.
