Got bored. bye bye game, going to play wot or cs:go. Both can be frustrating but at least my tank / character can make a contribution without being totally wiped out in one salvo after FOUR+ minutes of sailing around like a git. Luckily, I was forewarned by wot 'cos I spent loads on that game, only for it to make my "premium" tank purchases obsolete. This stopped me from buying prem' ships in wows. Also, not being able to use gold / dabloons intergame. Wow, Thx WG for that insight. Saved me a few quid tbh. :) 8 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well... the lines don't come labelled like that, and it does come as a shock to find that almost all Tier V cruisers are largely made of citadels. I know that was something I gave no consideration at all, with the inevitable results. Some advice for the OP: when you hit Tier V and you play cruisers you end up with very fragile ships that can't lead the line and will be the priority target for Battleships the second you get spotted. You are their lunch. Don't charge forwards, don't fire first if you're not spotted, don't try and get all your guns on target if they're looking at you, and most importantly don't fire and then and turn away showing your broadside - you know those shotgun Battleships they have at Tier III and IV? They're not around anymore - assume that BBs can aim and and are capable of taking half your health, or more, in one salvo. Best play a few co-op games to practice manoeuvring around fire; the bots are pretty accurate and you learn quick that zooming around at Full speed is not the way to go (it's speed, not direction, that throws off their aim). Best of luck and stick with it, it does get easier! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You think that by getting high tier ships make you stronger relatively to your opponents. It doesn't work that way. The higher you climb, the more skilled opponents you face, but the ships are still balanced equally, so don't go to higher level until you learn the ships better. You think you know how to play well, but truth is you don't. It requires thousands of games to be good in this game. The game may seem simple to learn, but it's not. There is so much to learn from gameplay and most of it, you don't have anu clue of yet, after just few hundred games. I recommend you play many kind of ships to tier 5, before you progress past it. Learn how different ships work, study game mechanics and how to play against specific ships. You have to know the behaviour, weaknesses snd strengths of enemy ship, in order to defeat it. You can not just go towards the enemy and think that you can defeat them because you think you can aim well. Aiming well is just not good enough in this game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, not being able to use gold / dabloons intergame. Wow, Thx WG for that insight. Saved me a few quid tbh. :) I used to like WoT, played over 35000 games or so. Wot has massive power creep, artillery and worst of all it has premium ammo rendering all armour utterly useless. Those that can afford to run premium ammo all the time win, while others lag behind. The imbalanced games are more often than not imho and becomes frustrating. I'd be wrong to call WoWS perfect, because we all know there is still lots in it to improve, but at least my tier 8 can fight a tier 10, and the equivalent of arty (cv's) is soon to be dismantled (sorry guys - I'd want it to stay, but they can't seem to balance properly in its current state). I know we have fun and engaging mechanics like detonations, and I know that even though you fight hard you are often punished in score when your braindead team loses, but all in all WoWS is far better than WoT in many respects It has a steeper learning curve, and plays slower, but for old gits like me with slow brains I like to strategise how I'm going to ram a torp in a bb's bumhole and this game gives me time. In WOT you have no time, you either camp or get pawned if the enemy team is stronger (it's still fun at times though). Oh, and let's talk about the obvious, WoWS is ships. I prefer the navy over a tank anyday (even though I like both) so go enjoy your tanks mate. Many of us have been there, done that and remember, WG created both games...so you're not actually punishing anyone by running from WoWS to WoT. You're still feeding the same bank account.

Return to tiers 3/4 and get more experience in a protected environment as at those tiers you will only face +/-1 MM. Also avoid RN cruiser line as it's the one with the highest floor skill.

TTFN this ^^ Premuim ammo is the single biggest killer and highlights P2W in the rawest form regarding WOT. A tier 8 ship can still do very well against a tier 10. In WOT most cant even pen the enemy, never mind anything else. Anti Tanks included I hope to god they never bring that into WOWS. So help me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[DONGS] SirBlemmingtonSmythe Players 535 posts 13,196 battles Report post #20 Posted December 10, 2018 Sorry to hear this Captain, I really am. It took me ages to learn the game and I'm still mostly potatoe It took a lot of looking at others play and then looking at my own actions. Crikey I was p*ss poor, I can remember turning to my wife and saying ''I have no ruddy idea what's going on'' as I was repeatedly sunk again and again. But I had a willingness to learn and stop doing what I knew to be fatal in the game. I always feel a little sad when I see the 'I'm leaving, the game is sh*t' posts, especially when it's just a rant about how inadequate they are at the game. There are loads of fantastic players of this game, some funny, some serious but with good skills that you might learn by and not get so frustrated, or learn it the hard way (wrong way) like myself or start looking at how good players play and their instincts for the game and emulate that. I was glad to have some Youtubers inputs into my playstyle, taught me something that I didn't have to feel pain for the experience. Anyhow good luck chief in whatever game you're going off to play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
