Tell me of a cruiser that is not made of citadels and doesn't suffer against battleships, I'd be all over it. :P

 

Spee is hard to citadel. Not because of the armor, it's just very close to the waterline.

the best thing to do would be to watch flamu or notser and see how they play the japanese BB's, and i am also thinking of starting on the soviet cruiser line :yes_cap:

 

If there's one thing I've learned while playing World of Tanks, it's that unicums and casuals are as different as white and black. I found atsf's videos to be the most useful because, despite being silly, they actually tell you HOW you should play this ship regardless of skill, whereas flamu's stuff is mostly 'oh hey lets stomp pubbies and look good while doing it' (though him getting a magazine detonation in his Budyonny video was hilarious).

Flamu is sosrs and plays to win. He doesn't like weak ships, or players at that probably :trollface:

 

I like the mad ATSF guy even though he's been a bit quiet lately.

 

Noster, iChase and Aeerroon are good too, I gave up on Jingles because of his lack of involvement in the Xmas Convoy :sceptic:

 

Lots of YouTubers out there, as well as the main few guys though.

 

Often the best way is to teach yourself, when you blow up sit there and think about what happened and what you would have done differently. After awhile that should lead to decent improvement.

its a shame that yuro/atsp has gone quiet because his how to guides were quite useful. :look:

Whiskey's gaming lounge ? Makes in depth guides for each ship hes played, entertaning but im not sure has he done IJN BB's yet.

 

 

Theres only so much you can gain from super unicum replays and thats why someone bit more in depht is usefull especially for newcomers.

Never heard of WGL, will check later today. Thanks. :)

 

And yes, that's what I was trying to say. I don't want to undermine unicums' achievements, but their level of skill is simply beyond what a casual can understand. I do like to win, but so long as I have fun, I'm fine with any outcome.

 

Think about it, would it be fun if Michael Phelps taught you how to swim? The guy's a multi-medal Olympic champion, he probably doesn't even remember he did not know how to swim once upon a time, it's all instinct and taken for granted now.
