Can’t tell you how many games I’ve been in where the half the team is dead before we even hit the 10 minute mark. This should be mandatory viewing for anyone new coming to WOWSL.

i used to think i was a shit player, no matter how many of these tutorials i watched, now i have learnt its not always you its mostly your teammates

It's soooo frustrating trying to play with so many people that have no idea what they're supposed to do. Videos like yours are GOLD bro so I really appreciate when guys like you do shit like this. Thank You

Biggest problem in the game is cruisers sniping from the back of the map and not moving up to support destroyers.

As a new player, I am guilty of a few of the mistakes you pointed out. Thanks for the info! I'm digging the strategy talk.

I would also like to add to 1b for DDs, just because your job is to capture the base/point doesn't mean you have to die there ("dying on the cross" as I say). Seen too many times where DDs get spotted then focused by enemy team and refuse to leave the capture point like they're a hard mounted turret or pill box. A A Ron has mentioned it before, when you get on the cap, turn around so incase you get spotted and need to escape, you can just Full Throttle it back to your side of the map instead of having to make a U-turn in front of half the enemy team while being spotted.

Good stuff brother. Hopefully it helps someone. Watching your videos over the past year or so has definitely helped to improve my game. Thanks man.

Great video A Aron! Tutorials like these are always nice to see since even I learn new things watching them.

I play the PC version of this game - but, this was a great and useful discussion. The mention of 'doing the opposite' of what your partner ship is doing is going to be a useful memory tag. Many thanks. On the other hand, have you considered a similar discussion on recovering from someone else's bad move? What should you do if your battleship moves right into your space as a cruiser? What can you do if the DD does vacate? How do you recover from friendly ships not targeting the proper enemy, or not focusing well? Learning recovery from things like that will get you a few points toward a better WR - and, those things happen often.

Keep up the great work man! Really enjoy your videos! Making thr game great again, one video at a time!

Good job keep it up! 😂 So frustrating to watch every match go badly. I actually got to play with you on my team the other day...I was a columbo and you were a Worcester. We won on 2 brothers...I had to take a screenshot of us being 1 and 2 on the team especially because I was 1...lol. Appreciate you trying to help the community I hope they are watching.

I'm a day 1 release player and I still goober games every now and then. Videos like these is what's needed for the community.

Great video. Best comment was the recommendation to play every class. This is by far the best way to understand strategy. When I started, I got really good at playing dd, but was I a good team mate, probably not. Now I am a much more rounded player.

Thx for ur help in game bud,im a long time player n still found ur vid helpful,do want to say to all the new players everyone has fast games but if u hav them often is wen u need to improve...

as a destroyer main, counting on that team support is genuinely so depressing half the time. I wish I could physically drag BBs away from the map corners

I truly appreciate the heart behind this video. It’s been realllly rough lately.

Simple tactics like this is what players need; Tbull used to do videos in this space, appreciate your contributions AARon!

Your teaching videos are informative and helpful please continue them. Maybe a more detailed video on citadels please. Also one on the new hybrids especially the flight controls on Xbox

Enjoyed the video. Never wrong to refresh the basics

First match on with Dunkerque B, followed strat, best match I've had, thank you good sir 🤙🏼

Solid advice, thanks for making and sharing with us!!

Sadly these sorts of videos are needed, and thank you on behalf of the community for doing this. It's not that the player base is bad, it's more that it is largely unlearned. Since WeeGee has no intention of having anything IN the game to make players learn it and improve, then it falls to people like you to try. I mean do mediocre players spend more trying to "get gud" than the better players who can make Tech Tree ships "work"? - I dunno. Many players probably think they're "pretty ok" at this game, not realising that getting blown up broadside, yeeted early, gunned down in crossfires, while that may be common gameplay, is not actually GOOD gameplay. It's a horse and water scenario though, a player has got to WANT to improve to seek out CC videos, many don't bother. There will always be the "who cares, it's just a free shooter" cadre of players but many players may want to improve but don't know where to go. I think as a community we should all be directing newer players where possible, to videos like this. Great effort and thank you, Ronmeister!!

Tactics in this game are multi-dimensional. Encourage headset and mic usage. Encourage comms. Become one big Division. Divisions talk to each other and leave the rest of the team in the dark. Plenty of wasted tactics there. Good video.

Thanks for the video. New to the game and this was pretty much what I needed to hear. I couldn’t understand what I was doing wrong

Great video, hope this is viewed by many👍

Watching this video was more fun than playing with someone that abandons their side!

Keep the strategy videos coming, the game needs more overall content like this to get beyond the simple concept of shooty boats

Helpful video, thank you!

thanks! it certainly does NOT suck, great info. been at it for almost a year, i used to watch other players play so that I could 'learn' some things, but as it turns out i have to unlearn some of that.

I'm a novice and I learned a lot, thank you.

Good to see some strategy videos! Many good points. Hammering in that this game is all about positioning and playing your ships role can never be done to much. Just one thing I don’t necessarily agree with. The complaints about cruiser versus battleships main battery ranges. I don’t think you should oblige to that. As you know (as you have said yourself in some videos) a good cruiser player will not put everything into range. 15-17km range (depending on the specific cruiser) is plenty. Meanwhile, BB’s at high tiers will generally have a range around 18-19km, sometimes even more. But more is not needed. Only bad BB players reversing to the back of the map and not positioning well will ask for (or need) more. I play both classes myself (and dd’s) and I’ve never had an issue with MB ranges in any ship types. I maintain that people who do have an issue with it, needs to learn how to play more actively (mainly positioning better and not sit idle at spawn or go for the back of the map while trying to fire at the reds who do the same on the other side).

I feel like that guy who had fun rushing A with the German battleship was me last night in the Schornhorst… this video was helpful lmao.

This was an excellent video my friend

Bro, these videos are fantastic!!

Great video. I am not the best. But, certainly I am not the worst. I totally understand what you are saying. For the most part I do a lot of what you are teaching. Yet, sometimes the Vaquero in me comes out and I “Yippee ki-yay!!” In an effort to catch the opposing team off guard. Sometimes it works. Other times not. Like you. I get frustrated when my teammates “ditch” me for other caps. Again. Really good video. Keep up the great work. 😃👍🏽

Love the how to play videos. Keep em comin

Thanks A Ron, I've been playing for a long time but only able to play a few days a week and 2 hours or less at a time. I love the game, but I can't even dare to count the messages I get, "dude wtf?" Or "you piece of s#!t player, just quit!" Those are the nice ones. Inmessage back, not defending my play, but try to explain that I lack experience even though I have higher tier ships and have limited play time. Some understand and shut up, but I'd rather take the criticism and have someone teach, so I could learn what or where I should do or go. Thanks for clarification, I know some of these points but I'd definitely benefit from detailed single ship type videos. Thanks again for the video man, maybe I can be an asset in the future due to it!!

I recently played against you in arena while you were playing Worcester and in the final few minutes you played against my daring and unfortunately killed him, and although I lost I still had a fun time, GG

Thanks for the video. Make more videos about the game maps

i would love you to explain more about the map positioning

Great video thanks

Great content as expected.

This vid style is a huge step in the right direction. Newer players can learn the basics and Vets can compare/contrast strategies.

I admire your dedication in trying to improve the players but... There s always a but... I don t know how many of the players will apply your tactics. Love your videos!

Thanks... as a noob this helped alot

Thanks for the vid

I hope this video helps people

Situational awareness and retreating won us the game. Not retreating to the back of the map, but away from threats and towards objectives. Repeat 4 times and you have the map.

It a awesome gameplay

You ain't wrong, last night I was the only ship left on my team at 9:15 left

So true, support your fellow ships .. i mainly play cruisers stick to a BB like glue n destroy the destroyers..

Thank you! Thank you! Very helpful.

As a DD player, at times I am guilty of trying to defend/take a contested cap and trying to kill the enemy DD in the first few minutes. Will try to back off more. Great video! Thanks.

We all make mistakes, especially as new players There's plenty of youtubers around that will claim that they perhaps once or twice lost a game in AI mode and even then it was because of a bad team, because their BS doesn't stink. I've seen AI ships hitting 90° of the time, well ... if they aren't on your side. If you have AI ships on your side you can have ships that shoot left, right, before and behind a ship that is barely moving and does so in a straight line. The times that I try to be a teamplayer... only to end up being all by myself because the BB goes backwards and sticks to the side of the map, the DD doesn't move until 5 minutes in the game only to then be blasted out of the water and the CC starts firing constantly because he hasn't a clue that it gives away his position Anything that helps educate some people should be applauded. Keep up the good work.

This is what the wow community needs some one teaching common sense thank you dude

Great video Dude 😎👊 keep up the great work matey 🙏🙏

Question… what if you spawn near a cap and there’s only one destroyer in c cap and it’s just two battleship. I am a battle ship also. do we stay in a cap without having any spotting? Or is this a reason to leave the a cap area? Thanks

I’ve been strapped for time lately and have been running bureau dailies in AI, I’ve noticed the players there mimic the bad behaviors of the AI bots more often than not. I can’t help but wonder if a guide covering the differences in strategies between the two modes would be helpful

aaron sucks jk lol but Its to bad WG doesnt promote vids like this to the general player base cuz a lot of people need to learn this type of stuff and it pisses me off that WG does nothing to help the problem unfortunately i feel the only way they would do that is if the game ends up on life support cuz to many guys like you and me quit so wargamming needs to do more for the player bases education of the game and worry less about money cuz at this rate of decay in player iq no one is gonna want to spend money on this game just to have to deal with idiots. I hope they wake up soon before its to late if its not allready but either way nice vid man i appreciate your efforts in trying to help and i hope it does

Best type of video yet keep the 🖍️ lines coming your the goat

i feel relieved when i play for 60 seconds

yeeeeesssssss. more of this. i neeeeeed more

I suspect many people play on a desk monitor or close up bedroom TV. But the mini map is too small for regular main TV use. Needs ability to scale up bigger and adjust translucent. These tips are tough to pull off when the vast majority of games are just a clockwise shuffle.

So finally someone make some sence discussing the DD.s role now I hope 10 million DD players actually take note and WG help out by taking the consealmeant mod out of BB.s it might shock some players that they actually needs to stop backing up there BB.s to the end of the map being absolutley useless in the battle.Crusiers might even use there Radar to spot a DD and kill them.If this happen the game might even be fun to play.and for god sake do not abandon you spawn base play for helping the team.

There needs to be numerical & alphabetical grid coordinates on all of our maps. Maybe even in our comms wheel too.

Please insert maddenisns and sound bites… first you go here and then boom you go over there.😂🤣

Came looking for this video and several others because I’m frustrated with getting wiped out quickly, been trying to apply some of the strategies I’ve seen, and sometimes they seem a bit hit and miss… Guess I can only improve myself so much if my teammates are also getting themselves steamrolled by the enemy team…. Oh and when the carrier isn’t spotting anything 😫

thank you as always, destroyers are my weak point.

I ain’t even gonna lie, sometimes I’ll get a spawn on a certain map where the ship I’m in is fairly useless, at which point I knowingly play like crap and just get it over with.

A lot of players that make videos like this never mention a few things that matter. 1. Traveling angles to map design and opponent players along with team player access. 2. Leads to supportive stability from cruisers and battleships for DD's and objectives. 3. Firing sequences. 4. Maintaining flanks is more important than objectives in 1st 5 minutes of the game. 5. Range and distance parameters to fellow teammates 6. Creating false angles. Forcing opponents to make mistakes 7. DD's main objective in any game, objective game or non objective based game is to create a flow of the game. NOT TO CAPTURE 1ST. 8. Use of mics! There are a lot of more to this discussion. However, the above list needs to be dedicated to play.

I know it's getting rough but please don't stop making videos about this game you're like one of the last ones😢

Agreed that you can still lose following some of these. But sometimes, even a loss is fun if you do.

Hi! Ostergotland or lighting? (Damage)

I've been playing this game since it came out on console. I only have 600 battles because I just can't seem to get into it. Granted I'm not a great player but I don't think I suck. My win rate is 57%. Is that fairly decent?

Good video, my problem too often is that I go up to A in my dd, and my Cruiser and BB behind me are hiding behind the back island so I have no support at all while the enemy dd has full support from its radar Cruiser and BB! This game is getting less and less fun!!

I'm the dumoss your talking about but I'm learning. Thanks for the tips. I am posting some videos on my KZfaq page you are welcome to use them as do's and don'ts for noobs videos. I've got thick skin.

Aaron if u look at the arena picture when loading on the game for legendary it says IX for the tier I’m not saying it means anything but I’m not saying it doesn’t

aAron, we should set up a regular schedule of training room games so ppl can get used to it.....

RU A A Ron sucks...hahha Actually learned a lot as a new player. Great video!

90 seconds? There girl friends would love them to last that long....😂

600 views in a couple hours seems like you're doing just fine. Keep cranking these videos out

Not sure why exactly, but these past two weeks I’ve been having some fantastic games. Maybe it’s because all of the potatoes are on the other team for a change 😂

Good video sadly anyone getting sunk in 90 seconds isn't watching any warships videos.

I literally had a dd reverse behind me in B spawn and sit there. Meanwhile, the left flank folded the right flank retreated behind me in B. Hello crossfire!!! I finished with 2200xp the rest were 600xp and below on a loss 😢

I got to the point where I only play ai battles because my teammates are so bad

I see you didn't talk about one class. Well, here's the most concise explanation of carriers there is: SPOT! You have the most maneuverable and fast spotting apparatus there is. Use it to find DDs,. There is nothing I love more than a carrier player who does nothing but spot the entirety of the enemy team all game. Sure, less xp, but the satisfaction from your team 2ill be worth it.

At the end of the day it's just a game and people are going to play how they wanna play it might not make sense to you but it's not supposed too so relax and if they are playing awful in your opinion so be it if they are having fun then that's the main goal of playing a game so relax it will be okay

Yes master 😂

The German BB mains tend not to understand that playing in a way to survive until the last 5 minutes of the game and then full pushing low health enemies seems to get more secondary hits and kills

Not to make excuses for poor team play, but I think a lot of the ‘poor players’ may be chasing mission objectives in campaigns, like obtain 20 capture defend ribbons or set 75 fires, and such. I know I’ve neglected team play in order to grind out mission objectives and tasks to gain currency towards promoting commanders and ship upgrades.

How do I get my winrate up it’s at 47% it don’t matter what I do I can’t get it pass 47%

All of us probably fixate on the worst play of the class we main, so...I get the most eye twitches from seeing terrible dd play--zero spotting, not even pressuring caps, going on Gilligan's Island sightseeing tours along the map edge, but watching a cruiser and battleship sail off to the other side of the map, away from the cap we're right in front of makes me want to just say PHUCKET. It's great the game attracts people. Totally sucks so many don't want to learn the minimal basics.

Wait 90 seconds isn't fun? Damn, my wife has been lying all this time....😂

Self improvement is an interesting concept; however I don’t think this player base appreciates it for the most part

Teach me daddy

I feel like the insurgence os mobile players has a bit to do with the new poor player base.

I was watching this video how ever...3 mins into the video I got hit with Domino Pizza ad....2 medium 2 topping pizzas etc... Also.....you said... "The enemy is forced to come into you." Quote of the year! *sighs*

Tutorials? Start the death clock… 4 months.

How dare you tell me I can't take my German battleship straight up the middle and play like a man!

when you come across a good cruiser player (in a higher tier)that supports DD, please don't hesitate to let me know. Heck, when you come across another player in the game that supports each other let me know(6.7.8.L) I have better games tier 4 and 5 than 6,7,8, and Legendary. I had a Kamakazie game the other day with 214k damage,kraken, and 3 caps with all the other stuff because the whole team I was in worked together and we mopped the floor with them. A vast portion play for themselves and they don't give a shit. People are people and they don't change.
