Tips For New Battleship Captains! (World of Warships Legends Xbox One X) 

Being patient is probably the hardest thing to master in this game. Everything (and sometimes everyone) screams to go in and do as much damage as possible. Definitely need a cruiser video like this.

you sooo have to get in the habbit of free looking without moving your turrets.

Destroyer's not capping sends me crazy when in a battleship watching their back.

When your aiming (for lack of a better term in "sniper mode" or "zoomed in" if you like) at a ship and having a hard time determining their speed or direction, de-select them (while still zoomed in) and you will have a much better idea of their speed. This especially helps on the long distance shooting. The tracking that takes place while you have the ship selected/highlighted really makes it difficult to judge how much lead to give them occasionally. Really enjoying the videos!

I do think some of the maps need to be bigger and the range extended of the battleships, especially the lower tier. Because if you don't go into reverse on a map like this and go forward, once your spotted you'll get hammered by half the enemy fleet.

Gotta say that your tips have been helping me a lot when using BBs on this game. I still wasn't able to get the 150k challenge for the Atlanta but I got a lot closer than I was before. Thanks for sharing!

6:40 - "I am the only ship capable - in my mind, you know - I never count on my teammates on any multiplayer online game." This is pure gospel. I tell players the same thing - be prepared to win the game single-handedly, because odds are you'll have to.

I never count on my teammates for anything so I’m pleasantly surprised when they show up competently

Spartan I have watched most of your videos. I will give you credit. Thanks to you I have came a better captain. Hats off to you sir.

Beautiful video! Exactly what needs to be taught!! I have been playing since the beginning of WoWs PC. Everything thing you said is so true, and well said. Everyone should be watching, and learning. After you learn the right ways to play the ships, they are so much more fun! Jingles would approve of this video to I would believe 😁

I still remember this video my friend, still love your videos. Keep at em’ dude!

What I like about your videos is that you are humble. So many youtubers out there think they are the cat's meow. You are my top 5 wake-up-in-the-morning go to channel!

Please continue to be the Guy to “ entertain”. All the other video are so boring. I really enjoy your the humor you include. I’ve used some of your tactics an had my a$$ handed to me. 👍thumbs up

I'm finding this game to be even more frustrating that tanks. Had a match where I had 72 target hits, but only 14k damage! It was in a cruiser with a combination of AP and HE fired. I would really like to see much more information presented in the battle results screen.

Dog gone it Spartan, you sank me last night. I will have my Revenge! 😁😁 GG.

Huge help thank you. My logic was wrong and I was wondering why I was getting knocked out early by lower tiered ships. This video explained it all

Like always you deliver a great video to assist the newer player. Love it. Maybe show us how you play the cruiser next time😊

Excellent video tutorial Spartan. Man bro your getting that content added value bit. Awesome! 🤜🤛

The thing i find most frustrating is when all the cruisers in the team go after the biggest target instead of helping protect the battleships from destroyers, as a result i run the Scarnhorst 99% of the time now cause at least it can deal with nilly anything pretty easy if its used right.

I'm maining the battleship line of the USN currently. I know I've probably gone through too fast, as I position myself terribly in each match, which is why I'm doing more practice with Wyoming. Thanks for the help in this video! I appreciate it

Thanks alot for the tips and advise Sparten. Ive played battleships on 360. But im new to this game

I rlly love your videos! Im currently at 83,000 xp of 100,000 xp for the iowa and i wouldnt have been there if it werent for you. I started playing in this game with American cruisers until i seen your battleship videos then did i start grinding on BB’s and all i can say is thanks. Your tips have helped a lot

Thanks spartan. New sub. Loving this game man. More teaching please ! Keep up the good content homie

Thanks Mate. Keep up the content.

Thanks for the tips! They helped a lot!

Now i understand why i broadside always my battleship and dying always...that's why they flank straight until i reload, for them to attack broadside until i get destroyed pretty quickly.

I have played British BBs to the Vanguard. Including the BC HMS Hood, i havent touched HE as grind, for any ship BUT the KGV.

I am new but got 1st bs and 4th cr both American you did great showed me alot

1000 like, well worth the time watching this. Just downloaded it and this helped a lot thanks!

Thanks for the tips just started playing Its great.

Thanks Spartan this was a lot of help :)

haha, saw this just coming in my recommendations and clicked on it after seeing the Iowa, gotta love the pre-nerf dispersion and the time everyone used to give free broadsides. I bet if spartan did a review on this video now he could find like 5 mistakes

Awesome video mate, thanks heaps!

(relatively new to the game) And I'm just finding out how powerful battleships are and been trying to grind out the American battleships, finally got the New York so this will definitely help me out bro appreciate it so much. Great video always great content man 👍

Man this video is awesome tactics great job

Great tips and great commentary, your accent makes me feel like I'm at an auction

I know exactly how to play bb’s though whenever an enemy fires show your bow or stern and after the enemy fires show Broadside and repeat the process

Imagine if they added anchor drifting like in the movie battleship, or u could called it the Anchor Turn

Lightning and cassock class ships are capable of 98 concealment which is fantastic for stealth torping!

Thanks for the tutorial👍🏻 I play in a similar way. Question though. Why am I mostly in the losing side no matter how well I do? I definitely lose more than win. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nice video thank you! And that Akatsuki those shots are confusing sometimes and also the ones where they are turning can also be a confusing shot! And it’s always good to know that you need to adjust for every turret in the rear of your ship! Why? Because the rear turrets shot forward at a different angle and the forward turrets shot farther back. Very confusing sometimes but pay attention to how they shoot and then you will recognize what voodoo I’m talking about hahaha!!! Good video thank you so much

I usually play second line in battleship a bit far behind but still in range to hit the cruisers and destroyers to support our own cruisers and destroyers, then I just sail around and try to get in close to brawl with low health ships or stay as far away and dodge shots at long range with mostly battleships with more health while still being able to shoot them.

You always have good tips, your videos have helped me improve my gameplay, I was nothing short of a noob a few weeks ago, and now I’ve got 3 tier 6 battleships and have little to no issues during matches.... minus the potatoes on my team 🤷🏻‍♂️ maybe they should watch your videos too. Wish you played on PlayStation though, would be cool teaming up with you

Problem with using the Iowa as the "How too BB" it's got too much range & armor, so the play style is much different then if you used a lower teir BB to explain tactic. If this was "How to BB in an Iowa" it would be much better since only the Amagi has simular range and would use those Same tactics.

Thanks David, informative video

My best citadel shots have been with the black fleet Scharnhorst. Is this the best strategy with slower battleships? Should I also play more aggressively with german fast battleships like the Geisenau, Scharnhorst, and Bismarck, or use the same strategy like you used with the Iowa in this video?

Gr8 video...even helped some of us vetrans of the game.

The smokestack tip was excellent

Thanks for the tips your videos always bring a smile to my face🤗 can’t wait for you to get 10k subs next!!!

battleshits are good at two things: Missing broadside shots and taking as many torpedoes as possible in the 15- 20 seconds it takes it to turn, stop or do anything but go in a straight line

Much needed advice thank you !

My son loves this game and now I love this game :)

Excellent video

GG and cheers for the vid. I use the same reverse plan. Love Iowa, although she looks like a fruit basket. Only playing Battlships and heavy cruisers, not even trying others yet. Reversing at the start reminds me of F troop when Parmenter calls for retreat but sneezes attack. Quite often you hear the retreat command as well which gives me a chuckle. One thing to watch in tier 7 or at least with Iowa is $. I think you need at least the 72k damage your ship carries to make silver. If you check your $ balance before the battle it never balances with the earned $ awarded. They should show you the service fee at the end of the battle like tanks. First time I took her out I got 50 odd thousand damage was awarded about 120,000 credits but once in port could see I actually lost $. Atlanta on the other hand is a great earner even with a crap game. Have not got many upgrades in Iowa yet but had a decent 120k game in a loss last night. So far I agree with you on the Brit Battlships, I have had some good games but meh. I do Ok in the Fuso though, I think has the best range of the tier 5s. Peas love and many citidels, Johnno Bloke.

Hey spartan i got my nagato and its extremely better than the fuso and i didnt have the dispersion problem that u was having. I wasnt looking forward to it after u posted ur video but hands on it plays just like the fuso but better pens and damage.

Thank you @Spartan

Nice video :) thinking of playing again also “you sunk my battle ship 🚢 hehe 😂 u earned a sub from me and a like keep up the good work brother

Awesome vid. I just started playing on my one x with a friend. I read online it’s cross platform but how would I play with friends on PS4?

Also thx for the great tips!

How did you get people to scout four you, when i play everyone runs away to the ends of the map or hide behind islands,

For newbies what do the icons do for you repair?

I'm so close to gettimg me an Iowa. 17000 xp and 5 or 6 mil in cash. But the Germans are coming out soon and I wanna stab deep into the tiers. Thats gonna take all my cash and global xp to do. Tier 7 boats are a beast to get

More like this please I'm always paddlin

The problem here was under leading shots and aiming too low when firing at broadsides of enemies leading most of the shots into the water before they hit

Your sheer skill got a sub from me

I just got the Iowa, its a really nice ship

i m playing the android beta and i cant get good shots from battleships....either falls short, over or does no damage even to a broadside target

Some of your shots on the colorado were going into his bow instead of his citadel, thats why he took 3 overpens

William shatner at comicon London 2019.

Man I was a beast at this game with computer, guess we’ll see what Xbox is like

I play with Wyoming, just got it. The guns take like 20 seconds to turn and by the time my guns are reloaded, someone already took out my target. Goes super slow. I don't know if i'm bad or just unlucky

We love you spartan elite

Glad to see my old WOT clan mate doing well on RU-vid. Your guide was the first to come up in the search. Good shit man.

Amazing video

Good video! I'm more of a destroyer fan, the battleships gameplay is just so slow for me.

What equipment are you using to capture? you have the highest def of any Legends creators iv seen.

great teachin mate

Spartan how do you record on your xbox. I was trying to send you a video from my ps4. My teammate and I carried our team and won the game

I love this channel

I'm at fifth tier any ship you like that has better performance than most what do you recommend...

Hi I just have the WW downloaded on my computer (I play on PS4), can you use PS4 controller playing WW on computer?

Thoughts on a secondary build on iowa?

How do you use the main battery

Still waiting for the TIPS for battle ship captains , besides the 2 tips that are already known, about broadside , and spotting

Great video , grazie

How did u get hit points that far mine maxes out to 69000 for Bismarck

What's a citadel?? I'm 3 days into the game but I love it Edit: absolutely learned something, I always angle but I do it wrong lol definitely got broadside more than I should. So thanks!

Tryna get to Bismarck, I’m at Bayern. I’m wondering how I need to play that. Dispersion is dogshit, so I need to figure out range and pen chance.

I really hope u accepted that colorados friend request cuz he’s a beast

If I am stock should u play versus ai or what?

New bb captains, haha..... Wargaming should sponsor a feature film and call it, "Attack Of The Killer Potatoes!" Let's sing it together. .I'm sure everyone knows the words 😅

Just came back to the vid.It just hit 100k views!!

What commanders for what country on my bb’s tho?

How did you get the iowa???? Grind???? I am on the New Mexico but its a piece of crap thing! I dont know how I am going to grind

HI,whats the best beginner battleship to get? minimum T4 please

Can you give me your grind tips from kaiser battleship to bismarck

Can u tell me how to buy Aircraft or Destroyer tipe of ships ????

Great video, but I disagree with some portions. While the dispersion of your shot is RNG, even if you aim well there is a chance you won't get a good hit, aiming is not RNG. I noticed for most of your shots on the broadside Colorado you were heavily over-leading. Your two mil standard isn't too horrible of an idea, but it doesn't apply to all ranges, as you also hit behind the 18km Iowa because of it. Flexibility is what will keep you alive most in this game, and being inflexible with your aiming will provide much worse games than you could have possibly had. The angling was great though, I'm glad to see you only using the rear turret if you're absolutely sure you will sink the ship with the first salvo you fire. I'd say adjust your two mil aiming standards, and you'll see some major improvements in games to come. (I realize this video is over a year old, I'm just sharing what I know.) Otherwise, great video and happy sailing.

Good vid but I have been playing this game when it came out on PC and then I got it for the PS4 and in one game with my Iowa on the PS4 I did 226,894 damage and I sunk 5 ships and got 11 citadels so I didn’t need tips but good vid and I was just interested

as a new player I try to play like this but the Tier 3/4 Battleships are so innacruate... the spread on the salvos is so bad i just get torched by cruisers who get to lob never ending HE..
