well, I am also a very new player, (about 450 games in PvP, highest is 2 Tier 6) and I received the Tirpitz from a friend of mine, 'till now my record is 135k damage, (average of 43k damage, but the last 10 games i got about 50-90k)
Do you have any tips, like shouldn't I play that ship at all untill I have better skills in battleships, because you guys seem to get really frustrated at noobs playing the "lowe of wows"
