I hope it is helpfull, I tried do it as short as possible hence I could miss or forget something. If You are new player let me know in comments down below what You thinks about it. More experienced players I ecourage You to write what I'm missing or should add (basically any advice to new players You have and not included in the video). Everyone watching don't forger to leave a like and SUBSCRIBE if You are not subscriber yet. Next video will be about aiming and shooting in case if You are interested. Thanks for watching and see You in the next one.
I'm going to follow your guidance and see where it takes me. I'm looking forward to more of your beginner's guide. I appreciate the details that you cover as a lot of the other videos out are directed to newer players are old. Keep up the good work.
@@MrLamzes I've been playing for about a month I guess, It can be an overload at times, esp with all the "events" and crap they keep pumping out. I'd suggest people just ignore all the events early on, do the campaigns tho and just collect the free stuff they include, and pick up any points or event "currency" as you go along doing your normal game (or researching the 6 lines you mention) Some things I've learned so far.... Be careful with the techniques you learn in "CO-OP", apart from basic "ship handling " and learning how to " lead" your aim, a lot won't translate to "random". The bots run to a script and are predictable, unlike human opponents in random. You just can't practice or try out tricks and techniques to use against humans when playing against bots. You have to try that stuff out in random, and if it doesn't work you might just head back to the dock early, which is just a part of the learning curve. When you do start in Random, expect to lose a few games and don't get discouraged when you do. If you're a noobie like me and manage to get around 40-50% KD.... well you're doing good! Especially when you end up "matched" against an experienced player who's re-grinding a line to get the extra perks. WG deliberately encouraging "expert" players with 21 point captains against new players still learning with 3 point captains, that's wrong IMHO. Watch the videos and streams you see on twitch and youtube if you want, but don't expect the same results. Most of them have been playing for years and we haven't, we can't expect the same results, and a lot cherry pick the matches they show to make them look better. It takes time to "git gud", just like life Any chance you'll be covering how to manage Captains with all the ships you eventually end up collecting? I find that aspect really confusing. Sorry for the long post
@@iffracem I agreee completly coop only to tier 4 then You have to go to random battles because like You said bots are to predictable. Events dockyards, again I agree, new players shouldn't bother. In my videos I'm trying to go step by step thats why I can't put everything I want in there (simply videos would have 1-2 hours each and noone would watch them in full). To directly answer Your question about captains managing : I have 258 ships atm and I don't manage captains (simply to many) I have my T10 and superships done, and on lower tiers I have captains without skills distributed because sometimes WG is reseting skills for free, I deal with it when I have to or want to play any given ship (so half of my ships have captains with 10-14 points undistributed) P.S. Video on how to manage captains will be soon (maybe episode 9-10 maybe sooner)
Stopped playing years back. Good beginners line: French cruisers. Speed boost, reload booster. Strong T6 &T7. Better torp range than the German cruisers. And as alternative (utility line): the Moskva line. Do NOT recommend: the UK cruiser lines; both of them. DD's: the Halland line. No smoke, so will be harsh. But relying on smoke is extremely dangerous with all the hydro, radar, or random torpedoes. And very fast torpedoes, with far faster reload than the Shimakaze line. I also think the Pan-Asian DD line can be fun to grind with the Madjah, short duration smoke but more of them. But the torpedoes not being able to hit DD's is a harsh limiter. For Gunboats, maybe the French DD's again (don't rely on smoke, notice a pattern? ) I would not recommend the French BB line, as I think the T10 is rather underwhelming and power-creeped. For BB's, short distance, just to prove an alternative: the Italians. Because here, the moving smoke screen might be usefull for 'emergency survive' button, from T8 onward. Either the Italian BB's or the Cruisers, to learn the 'moving smoke screen', and semi-AP. Alternatively: the Russians. Sinops is strong at T7.
Mate I agree with You on most of things but all that is good for players that already know something about game. Example: You start playing DD without smoke You'll die a lot and stop playing DD altogether. French Cruisers: they are insanely fast and good at speed juking but other cruisers lines are not. BBs other then american and japan relay on some kind of quirk etc. etc. I gave my recommendation on a premise that this will be good balance between ease of leveling combined with ability to teach new players how to play and don't rage quit or be stuck to one class of ships or one nation. And I'm not saying it's the best, some people can disagree (like You did) but this is what I think is best solution. That's why this video is so long I tried to give reasoning behind my choice. P.S> Thanks for comment, it's always nice to know someone wants to help new players, keep up good work mate
@@MrLamzes I know about the smoke. But I do think both Gearing and Shima have been 'powercrept'; and I was trying to suggest lines that do provide the 'core', but still some fun aspect. I would maybe then agree to suggest Daring for a 'short smoke' hybrid DD with a short-range Hydro for defense, but still recommend the Halland line. The faster torpedo reload means it's not a disaster if you miss twice in a row. French cruisers are nice to level even minus the speed boost with the trolly void armor, the reload booster, and the longer range torpedoes. And SAP has gotten used on several ships now, creeping smoke can be that lifesaver when overextending to retreat-turn etc. --> An Italian line seems a nice option to me.
@@auzor5900 well I still think new players will be better of when start shima and gearing lines, but thats beauty of gaming , everyone has and can have own opinion.
No just basic stats determine if ship is a torpedo boat or gunboat. If ship has good guns (fast reload good damage per minute) it's called gunboat. Good torpedos (long range, fast with good damage per minute ) it's torpedo boat. There are some ships with descent guns and torpedos and they are called Hybrid DDs because they combine guns with torps. Same with battleships if they have good close range armor and good secondaries they are called brawling/ secondary battleships, if they have accurate long range guns they are sniping battleships. It's just labels peaple give to a ship depending on base statistics of the ship.
