I'm on WoWs now guys, and i'm a noob.

Great to know mate, so far planes are the bane of my life so looking forward to getting a bit of revenge against them. I'll add you next time i get on mate, thanks for the heads up. 

I'll start doing that mate, i must admit i do tend to focus on ships and forget about planes, then end up sinking shortly after. I've already got some bad habits that i need to ditch. All the advice i'm getting is greatly appreciated guys, thanks :-) 

Risky, but i'll bear it in mind, thanks Kaito.

I've started the British BB and cruiser grind. Any tips for these 2 lines guys? At tier 3 on each atm.

British cruisers are garbage until the Leander. 6 inch HE shells can citadel them at close range. The Emerald at tier 5 is widely considered the worst ship in the game.

Any tips on how to play BBs on maps that have alot of islands and not much open sea? DDs are a nightmare on those maps and i'm dodging torps more than firing.

Change your speed and direction often, especially against jap DD's. Torp attacks are designed to lead their target, so if you constantly make minor course corrections it makes it extremely hard for anyone, even CV's to attack you.

Every shot you take, drop your throttle back one notch or two, and change your direction a few seconds. That could be the difference between 3 torp hits and 1. If you arent actually shooting your guns in a Bb, you need to be holding right click and watching all around your ship constantly.

A BB can be pretty mobile, they just react much slower than a cruiser or DD. In a BB, you need to start reacting to something well before it gets even within 6kms of you. If you see a torp bomber squadron heading your way, from a LONG way off, start turning, by the time it gets to you drop throttle and turn hard, you can basically powerslide a 700 meter long ship. The whole stern of the ship swings wide.

This serves a dual purpose. First off, you dramatically change speed and direction, allowing you to easily dodge incoming attacks like torpedos. Secondly,
this will throw off other enemies who may be targeting you from long range, whether it be torpedoes or guns, and forcing most long range torpedos and shells to be frustratingly far off course (for their user)

Watch some streams from Flamu. Seriously. He's not up everyone's alley, but he is a good player and does usually explain what he's doing and why. I really went from a mega-trash player to decent just using what I learned from him.

Will do mate, i've watched a few of his vids (saw that ships can reverse sidescrape off islands, bearing that in mind). I'll make sure to check out his streams.

Welcome to WoWS mate :-) which nations are you going to grind first do you think?

How do i do that mate?
