Having fumbled my way through the German destroyer line, I arrive at Z-46. And I am met by so much hateful messages against me, it's unbelievable. I mean I'm not the best player but give me a break dangit I'm trying. In any case, I'm trying to git gud, if you will, but asking for advice in game chat only results in people telling me to do wildly different things, followed by reports for playing poorly being filed against me after the people whose advice I inevitably had to ignore get angry with me for not listening to their advice. Like, calm down, I can't hide in a corner, defend C and rush A at the same time, I'm but a single squishy boat. aaaaaanyway, that brings me here. I can no longer stand the toxicity of the general public so I hoped a more... filtered version of the player base would be able to give me some advice on how to play a Z-46 without getting reported. tl;dr people hate me please help me fix this. Edit: so far the plan is to go through various other types of ships until T6 or so, while also taking a step back and getting good with mid-tier German destroyers before I return to the Z-46

Right. Well. That is depressing. Also what exactly do you mean by serverlevel?

Aaaand this is where I find the most hate. Not rushing points. It seems that every time I don't rush I get reported.

so AP on hulls when I can get at broadsides, HE on superstructures otherwise?

are you saying I should use AP on other destroyers, or that I should use AP more than I would using other destroyers?

I was pretty decent at the previous ones tbh. guns seemed to work better for me than torpedo's did, but as soon as I shoot with the Z-46 I die. I have also put a little time in CV, so I've got some vague idea of what's annoying to aim at for a plane.
