I try to stay calm as long as possible and as long as Im playing good and I do huge amount of dmg a loss doesnt bater me. What gets me mad is when I get 3-4 losses in a row where my half team is killed after 4-5min. When you see this pattern its best to stop playing.

I bought 7 crates and got tier VI and VII. Sold tier VI, kept VII (Lyon). Great ship btw.

Oh and please make the mini map bigger by using + and - key. On the minimap you can chose to show the ship names on the map. Do that. This wil give you information aout whitch enemy ships are where. Very usefull tool when you learn the weaknesses and strengths of ships. Also learn to use the terrain as your advantage. If you play a DD always have a plan how to efficiently leave the cap if detected. When standing in the cap in smoke with DD try not stay broadsided or you will easily eat torpedoes. As a BB look on the minimap and ask your self how will you support your team if you go in a given direction? On some maps there are huge islands, if you go there you will be cut of the game easily for several minutes.

As a new player you are protected in the game until you reach rank 10. It means that you wil be facing only new players until rank 11. After hitting rank 11 you wil start facing also experienced players who play on low tiers. The ships you play may also influence you results. When playing BBs on low tiers its very important to have a good positioning since the BBs are very slow and the range of the guns is not that great. Sometimes if you go the wrong way in the BB it may take you several min until you engage in the battle at witch point the game is already lost. So general rule fo BB play is try to stay in a postion where you can support 2 caps and never go alone. Watch for your flank and take notice of enemy DDs position. DDs generally have a huge influence on the game at low tiers. If you play a DD remember its a 20 min game, not 2 min. If you are contesting a cap look at where you friendly ships are. Can the support you? Learn to use your concealment. There is no shame in losing a cap, than come back and recap it. As a cruiser support you DDs as much as you can and don't show broadside to enemy BBs. Watch some top players stream on Twitch like Flamu and Flambass.

I was doing 140k dmg and winning in my first Lyon game when I got kicked out.

Bought 7 crates, got missions for Bretagne and Lyon.

Does anyone knows the background of the custom flag with the eagle? Is it a historical flag? Does it mean somthing beside the obvious name of the ship?

Koningsberg is a great ship. The guns can angle very close to ship citadel so you can use guns hiding your broadside almost compleatly. Look where your guns are and angle after that. It is avery good ship but needs some finese to play it right.

Nagato is a beast! It exels in mid range battle and shoud lead the charge. If supported you shoud push up and rip everthying apart. Its a browler.

Its not working.

I have a tier 6 IJN CV and another problem for me is that I more often than not have to play against tier 8 BBs and CA becouse of the lack of CV players generaly. It ruins the game and the most I can do is just spot enemy ships and hope for getting a lucky torp hit on someone. :-(

about when to use small spread vs wide spread: -as a DD in close encounters against other DDs I use usually 1 close spread and 2 wide spread just to confuse the oponent when manuvering. or only use whide spread when they use smoke to chase them out if possble. On other ships I allways use close spread. Somthimes I also aim outside the aim assist in case the ships wil be turning. So usually here go for 2 shots by the aiming assist and 1 closer to target in case of turning. All 3 shots clse spread. -with Tirpitz dont bother using the torps if you are not sure you can hit. The time you waste on finding the right angle can cost you pressius seconds and you have to show broadside to the other ship/ships. I use only close spread when I use it and only in very close situations. Its all about situational awarenes :-)

I woud sugest to stop playing against the AI in coop and start playing against other players. You are devaloping skills and learning how the AI is responding, not how other people play. The exp you gain is also much lower in coop games that in PvP.

I did have the same problem after the april 1. update. It was very annoying becouse I usualy got kicked out of the game after 10 sec while in port too. Other times it happened after starting a battle so I got a few losses just becouse of this. It happened without Aslains mod pack too so I reinstaled the game and now it works normaly.

Thx for the reply, no problem. I do want to mension however that I have only played 2 battles in a team or divison, so 99.99 of my games are solo battles. My win rate is actually very good if you take that into account. When it comes to dmg dealing per ship most of the ships I have been playing are under rank 6 so its limited how much dmg you actually can do with a low tier ship and certain classes do less dmg than others. Im a kind of player who wil sacrifice him self for the team to protect the CV or the lonely BB in a battle. Do that in random solo games and you know you wont come far in getting good stats. Dealing dmg in solo random games is somthing totaly different that playing in a divison or team battles and Im sure you know that. My results in ranked battles in seson 1 where preaty good on both accounts with win rates around 80%. However I didnt manage to play more than 8-9 games on this account so you can argue that the battles played are to low to say somthing actually. If you add the total randomnes of solo games, some game crashes i had lately (fixed the problem) it explaines why some of the stats numbers are maybe lower that what you woud expect. However playing on higher tiers with a higher pool of better players Im sure some of my stats wil improve. :-)

I dont know guys, but I dont think Nurnberg is bad at all. It exels at DD hunting, can stand the ground against other tier 6 ships and can do some dicent dmg against BBs too. Yes, its fragile and takes some skill to play good, but it has great guns and in a hands of experiance player it can shine. This is nothing compared to the Furutaka earlier.

Same problem for a last day. Very annoying. Somthimes I mange to join a battle just to drop out after few min.

Hi guys! My name is Dejan, Im 40 years old and from Norway. Im looking for people to play some competitive PvP matches. I like the name of your clan so I decided to try my luck with you guys :-) I have been playing WoW since closed beta but had to take a break a few months ago since I got too addicted and needed a break. I started to play again this week and woud like to team up with some other players for team battles. Its important to mension that I have a second account even if I consider this one as my main. In total I have played around 2300 battles across both accounts and consider my self as a experianced player. I do prefer to play IJN ships (Tora!Tora!Tora!), spesially the BBs and wil be grinding that line together with KM cruisers. On my old account I have tier 8 ships in all the IJN lines and can switch to them if needed for teamplay. The more difficult the ship is to play the more I like it :-) I think that stats only tell half the truth how good a player is, but if you want to take a look at mine: http://worldofwarships.eu/en/community/accounts/531397512-Hairlock/!/pvp/overview/ http://warships.today/player/531397512/eu/Hairlock My main strenghts as a player: good situational awereness, good positioning, teamplayer.

I think its a good start. Its a pilot season and you have to look at it that way. About prizes and recognition.. .thats something they can change/implement easy, but its not the main focus now. There are othe issues in the game that need more priority (german/russian ships balance). The season is now over and they have to evaluate and do the changes according to results they have got. There are plenty of good PvP games where ranked battles are for solo players, not division/guild play. Letting division play in ranked battles will unbalance the play and you wil have the same random play you have at randome battles. Then what is the differance? I think they shoud keep the ranked battles for solo players and introduse division/clan battles later. But they have to be careful with that becouse they are running the risk off splitting the playerbase into solo and divison/clan battles and Im not sure the playerbase is big enough for that.

I just started playing ranked games and loveing it. Please keep it for solo players, not divisions. If you open for divison play it wil became clan vs clan very fast and totaly ruin the experiance for those who play alone.

Totaly agree.

But what do you do if you want to shoot a battleship, but there are too many battleships to choose from?

I belive there are players too that have played close to 2000 games and are in some cases much better that what the stats show. A player that have never played a game like WoWs before, didnt understand HE/AP, never read any guides wil have a difficult start with the game and have poor stats for the first few tiers. As he progresses and learns more and more he becomes more careful, hes awerenes has much improved, he follows the map and makes good decisions. He is a good teamplayer and he can carry the team. But since he had a very poor start and never played in division hes winrate is lets say 47% and he has 10% draws. Is he a good or bad player?

I dont agree here with you. People can get lucky or unlucky in few games and that happens to us all. But if a player played 100 games in ranked battles and won 70 games, you cant say that he is getting carried by the rest of the team. The more games you play, the less is a chance of the results beaing random.
