First off, hey, and thanks for wanting to help.
I'm a new player, just around 200 battles, and already at the Bismarck, simply because i wanted it, no intention of playing it a lot, not ready for tier 8 yet, i also don't really enjoy the germans so far. The shots spread A LOT in my opinion, and in general i feel the ships are just too unreliable?
I like setting a goal for my self, and here that would be a main line to SLOWLY progress on and enjoy playing. But in this game, i am just to indecisive really, so I come here asking for help. Obviously i'll try other lines but I like to focus my intention on one as all the ships have different strengths and weaknesses.
I am generally an aggressive player in these games, also in WoT, loved the IS7 there. I prefer to do a ton of damage, but i also like staying alive, obviously in WoT there was angling, hiding your lower hull etc that could help, but here in general i am only finding angling (sort of?) works, and using islands as an advantage, or trying to. The BB's just are SO SLOW :D
To be fair, I'd like advice on a line to focus on, so I can start saying, right this line fits me, i might not like it, but i will in time. So i can start learning the game and tricks to staying alive etc, like in WoT. If you need any information on my playstyle other than it's aggressive, let me know. I'll be happy to tell.
Aggressive, i feel like i'm terrible with torps, i like precise, consistent damage, with good survivability and maneuverability. In general from what i've read i feel like the USSR BB would be a good fit for me, but I obviously don't have the experience to judge that.
EDIT; Should probably say I play mostly alone or in a division with 1 friend or two. No intention of clan battles etc.
Thank you in advance for helping and reading this topic.
Also what a great stream :D Great fun!
