Yes I play World of Warships too, tis fun and youngsters have no advantage!
Started off playing soft/smart, too many ships could have dominated me from their well set-up crossfire positioning, so I provided intel for my teammates, killed Hsienyang (for his stupidity lol) and kept my torps threatening/chasing the reds from their "not safe with me around" campgrounds. I then was compelled to keep torp threats on the reds rear flank to keep them at a distance from the caps that we needed the entire match. I couldn't take the mid cap until I eliminated or at least distanced their taken crossfire positions. (they were a good team in that respect/positioning: o7).
Wish I could have saved Akizuki, I was finally freed and in-route, but it wasn't to be, he did a great job though! Note: even when my torps are only seen, it's enough to manage/persuade "map control" (an Oland strength with her fast-12k torps including a V-good reload time).
Eventually I had to run the gauntlet to capture the last cap. Wow that got interesting!
Note that I stayed between the machine gun splashes which is the only place that the rockets will hit.
Other than that, just be dodgy as all get out even though I really couldn't do as I wanted with all the air attacks forcing me away from my desired maneuvers/positioning, all I could do was to take as few lumps as possible. I Soo wanted that CV but the game was a hard-earned won from a loss, so I wasn't going to throw it away!
Most don't but...I Love Oland!
She's everything: a gun boat (not here no chance), a torp boat (seen here) has great AA with the maneuverability to play the "full AA game", V-good-conceal and "adequate" acceleration so she can cap (cautiously, no smoke) and she can also intel/peer/penetrate flanks (cautiously), she hunts Subs reasonably well for her maneuverability and she drops a nice long spread of 12 (although relatively weak) depth charges which is nice for the "seek" portion of sub hunting.
An "all around" strong DD. Shes my main ship "by far"!

P.S. I keep all my games in my "playlists": World of Warships!
Enjoy!
