It will eventually. You should really take your time and criticize your own gameplay from time to time. This will help you greatly at improving. Have fun as a first goal, but sometimes glance over your own gameplay and the mistakes you make.

it's a mod that is supposed to indicate how good u were in a match. damage, capping, spotting, it all adds to that.

The value of these factors is highly subjective and does not reflect your earnings.

As you've probably gathered, PUK isn't that widely used a measure (if folk on here haven't heard of it).

If you want some solid data on how rewards are calculated, perhaps the place to start is the wiki: https://wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Economy

Massa is short ranged, on her main guns.   NC Is not.

 

If you're rolling forward too early in Massa, you will be spotted and focussed because:

 

1) You're out of position

2) You're a big, easy target to hit

3) You're possibly the ONLY target the enemy has at this point

4) A lot of players know Massa is a significant threat to all ship classes, and if allowed to live, and heal up she can take a significant amount of effort to put down.  Some premium ships I won't focus especially, but if the enemy has a Massa, I want it dead.

 

With NC, you have mega amounts of gun range, so you will quite likely instinctively be hanging back, using that range early game, which is preventing you from needing to close to the 18.3km max range of Massa - at which point Massa can't hit a barn door, so you need to reduce it still to 14km to hit anything!! 

 

Don't be afraid of being critical of your own games, I've messed up driving Massa before and got sunk for dealing 18-20k damage.  I feel truly potato when it happens, but I try to work out why I messed up, and not do the same next time.

While NorCal have range, she don't really have ballistics to make use of said range against people aware how WSAD keys function. Massa can briefly fix her lack of range with spotter plane against targets of opportunity though.

You have atm 117 games in Massa, you survived alive only in 22 battles.
Your average dmg is 33k. You die too early to dish out more dmg.
STOP rushing at the start of the battle. You have 20min to play, don't throw your ship away in the first 5 minutes.

Oooofff....  

 

"Hello officer, yes, I think there's been a murder....."  

 

BTW - This is what Massa can do, when you can drive her properly.
