My tips and tricks for beginners: 1. Don’t use hydro acoustic search AT THE BEGINNING of the match (At spawn). 2. Don’t abandon or sail away from the flank/side that you spawn on. 3. If you are using a cruiser with torpedoes, don't act like a torpedo destroyer (or any type of Destroyer) and show your sides just to launch them because most of the time it will fail (especially at long range). 4. If you are a Destroyer with smoke screens, USE THEM. Don’t sail straight to the enemy. And even if you use smokes, SLOW DOWN because you are not being covered by smoke due to your fast speed. 5. It doesn’t mean that if you buy a high tier premium ship (Tiers 9-10), you are now a good player. Being good requires experience and you can't get those by trying out high tier premium ships when you are still around tier 5-7. I now this is looks crazy but you guys have no idea that these mistakes are soooo common in my experience with WoWs, especially #1. I could add more but I dont have the enerny to give a full detailed list.

NEVER have a cat in the room with you while playing WOWS.

I want more of these useful videos on tips and less about complaining about WG (they just don’t care anyway) thanks for posting even an experimented player like me learnt things

Just to add to the tip on Premium Time, if you get it for a year and you play enough, it could last you much longer. I got a year of premium at a discount during the holidays and I'm still sitting at 320 days left because of the premium time I get from missions, events, containers, etc.

Why am I awake at 5am?? To learn!

Teamplay, focus fire, stay at such a distance that you can go undetected when not firing. Switch ship when secondaries set a fire. COUNT COUNT COUNT, have less ships than the enemy, play defensive otherwise offensive is an option. In a DD when there is a CV, cv always scouts 1 pass for DDs, stay with the AA ships till it passes (so hold back). Assume the worst, hope for the best (if a radar cruiser is not spotted yet, assume it at your cap. Or the only enemy DD that outspots you, etc)

One of the better vids you've done in quite a while. We need more of the "How to play", maybe some "How I play..." this specific ship. These are preferable to rehashing the "top 5..." rehash for the 10th time. My experience, you're on the money about Det flags on DD, or maybe I just have bad RNG when I don't run them.

"subs will always mirror your subs"...unless yours or theirs are in a division in which case you're back to guessing.

My tip for making coin is Operations Mode, with Eco buffs, rather than chance it on Random Battles.

Thanks for this video that focusses on helping people play better and enjoy the game. Your video title didn't overpromise and I appreciate that too.

14:00 you appear to have an Atlanta welded to your hull

The problem with damaging higher tier ships for more earnings is, that you get rewarded for dealing maxHp% as damage to ships. So if you dont deal the same % of HP as damage to higher tiers (cause of better armor and higher HP pools) you dont earn much more.

Screw 20% credit income advantage in a double uptier game. It's easier to deal way more dmg to ships of equal level than sitting out of range in T6 cruiser facing T8 BBs.

Simply hitting a sub is already very difficult given how short most can turn

stay on the flank you spawn at. if you leave your flank your teammates will be outnumbered, giving the enemy the upper hand. also, when you are outnumbered try to either stall the enemys advance or drag them away from the map-center.(aka stay alive while beeing annoying) either way the rest of your team will have a localized numbers advantage.

Its a Teamplay game. Attack as a team, Defend as a team Move...as a team. Don't sit in the back, waiting for the "perfect broadside target",while your team is pushing a flank and makes progress. Don't let your DDs alone facing enemy DDs. Or caping. Read the Mini map Know your enemy ships,stats, range, armour,smoke or Radar, Hydro,torp range etc. And...have Fun, don't forget to have fun over all 😅

the submarine division is one of thing that so worst that much games im whas play and lose becose this as is impossible to win game when 2 submarines are focused on one player

I used the last asymmetric battles to grind through the rest of the lines I definitely wanted and as a dd main it was basically getting all the destroyers. In that mode I could score about as much or even more as you would in randoms in quicker and easily more decided winning battles, so long as you know what you're doing with your ship. I wasn't even sporting detonation flags during that time because the credits needed to unlock other ships were most important and sometimes blowing up just is what it is. Since then and with all those lines now unlocked I've just been playing and the credits, free xp as well as elite commander xp have been adding up. I'm currently at 60 million credits, 600k free xp and about 1million elite commander xp to use as needed. Saving up now for the new French dd line coming soon. :)

I would advice to play all classes (except submarines) so you get a feel how they work and how you can avoid getting nuked by them. Don't be a battleship main and then wonder why cruisers and destroyers fuck you up all the time.

great info on how to deal with subs! thanks Sea Lord!

DD's job is to stay alive and to provide torpedo screening etc etc ... YEAH . tell that to all the BB and Cruisers players who only care is " I need intelligence data " and fail to support the vanguard in any fashion , its not a rant , its a fact in game these days , so yes DD's job is to stay alive , at the cost of not doing all these so call DD play , ( which only put the DD in grief danger without paying the reward and without the team ever supporting ) These days a DD job is not to screen and not to spawn torpedo , its survival first and farming next , cause your damage dealing is miserable compared to all others , your spotting is no longer needed when there's planes, SS, Radar, Hydro and all , your job is not to serve the team cause you cannot and the team never ever care to support anyway , Close Support , NIL , AA Cover , they are another 8 to 15KM back which mean they do not cover , RADAR help , sorry that 12KM Radar is another 10KM back from your position so that means its not covering the enemy at all .. Aerial support .. now credit where credits due , many CV players actually know to support their DD but they can do only that much , and SS well they are similar as DD goes , survival being no.1 on agenda Lord , your POV might be OK if you play to fight but these days this is not the meta , most just play to farm and never fight .. and what are those playing DD, CL or simply normal CA do ... they do not had the range, they do not had the armor, and they do not had the HP to burn .. they cannot vanish like the SS or hang back like the CV .. and to be fair and honest most of the time when I play and see a bunch of BB and Cruisers all just camp , as a DD main , I just do not feel the urge, nor the need and even less the drive to even bother to play the play

SLM does read the comments! We still need those map tip and tricks videos. Thanks SLM

Your channel is underrated

Great video Sea Lord!

I've never played ranked or clan battles... I use my blue econs for when I have a combat mission that I need a bunch to complete. Also, the trick to shooting at light cruisers also works on subs! I love getting main gun kills on underwater subs!

1. If your on the last Naval Battle Star and get take out early, try to drop a coop game for a lower star and save the attempt, first game over counts.

3km doesn't mean sxxt when a 4501 goes like a marceau underwater

Hope for a secondary ship guide, like where to go, how to position, commander, tactics, etc.

Great info. Thanks SLM.

tyty keep them coming sea lord

Thanks for a good instructional video SL.

How to counter subs: press alt + f4 and click the helldivers Icon that pops up

A video on strategies specific to Convoy or Airship Escort would be good.

This it, this is what we need to see !! . Thank you Sir for these types of YT videos. Keep'em comin !

Great vid thanks!

No tips about Atlanta drivers watching where the photon they are steering though 😅

Very good job.

Here's a tip for getting doubloons. On your birthday, WG will give you a coupon that gives you 50% back in doubloons for a single purchase. So buy a doubloons package for a 150% return.

Also hello benson game where we played protect the youtuber!

No tips for subs? Oh well. One thing to remember against sub pings. If you DCP a sub sonar ping. Slow down or turn. Sub torpedo's make adjustments to your speed and travel path. Meaning that clearing the sonar ping only stops the constant updating. So if you don't change anything, you will still eat those torps.

I miss the times of free xp ships. I have Missouri and musashi.

I didn't know shells go through water, now I'm regularly getting citadels on other cruisers. Idk why but i always assumed if shells hit the water they just disappeared, coming from wot where shells periodically just pass through objects doing no damage.

If in a DD try and shoot sub while they are on the surface or at periscope depth.

Subs are on the same side only if they are NOT in a Division FYI

Extra tip: -you wont make credits playing T11 ships Extra extra tip: - no matter how well you play you will lose, cant carry all the teams out there

Sir I am new player for tier 9 premium battleship Baji any ideas how to play in long and medium ranges

6:00 Does this tip also count for French BBs who's only actual strength is their speed?

i didnt know that you can sell thinks out of the inventory. I made 20k with it

It would be advisable to make it clear these tips and tricks are for Battleships only. Most of these are useless for all the other classes.

I somehow got over a year of premium time from the Santa Containers

Hi hoping i can get some help here. Its about the RB ships. Do i have to buy every single ship each time or can i just reasearch the line a couple of times and then buy them to get the points i need? i am one of those on and off players and i got 1,5 mil free exp but money is ofc a problem and i dont feel like spending millions on a ship to get 100 or what ever it is points you get. Hope i make sense, have a great day/night all.

i still wish there was a mode without subs

07:14 my friend who drives subs a lot cus he bought the 4501 through coal (his first coal ship, and yes, I now do dislike him by law cus he drives subs, and WOULD report him if I could when we div. But dont worry, I send a lot of angry e-mails and reports to Riot Games and report him that way) was saying a few days ago that he saw some kind of "indicator" when people had or didn't have DCP ready. He sometimes DDs, and says he only sees this indicator when sub'ing. I don't drive them myself, so I have NO idea what he is talking about, and I know he doesn't use mods either. So yeah, there is prolly a tips or trick in there for sub users, but I guess...look for some kinda indicator? :P

If you lose 2 times in a row with blowouts then stop playing wows for a while, because it will be your tax day for the matchmaker god for all of your decent matches.

Do you think it's worth selling 2 ships to get satsuma?

Step 1: Hit w Step 2: Get Angry Step 3: support friendly dd Step 4: draw fire and kite Step 5: pray to RNG gods Step 6: Profit

Can anyone explain how to interpret ping traces on the sea? How the shape is / in which direction the sub is going ?

Wait it’s subs in this game

hello

Oh HS

TIP: Don't be a toxic POS in chat.

Co op games teach new players next to nothing sadly, in fact they seem to encourage bad habits

Tip: If you have a bad day. Just stop. It makes no sense to play when it isn't fun. It's not your job, it's your hobby. (Yeah, not you SLMB, you should go back to work, NOW!)

dude, the fuck was that atlanta's problem.

Sub players are disgusting OTP. You can put enemy situation with only bad scenarios get torpeoded by sub or get citadel by BB

An important tip was missed. BE A SPORT. It's only a game. Getting up tight and abusing other players in the chat helps nobody. Not everyone in the game is as good as you are. Just deal with it and move on.

I don't mind subs that much, carriers are a far bigger cancer to the game.

Contrary to what you hear some people complain about....... GTFO those 'some people' don't complain about pixels going over your screen they complain that the game is a FFI JOKE NOW. Before these abominations, ships moved at relative speeds to eachother, now you got this FANTASY BS about nuclear hunterkiller submarines, and you're giving tips to ffin DREADNAUGHTS on how they should deal with nuclear attack submarines.... Yeah, some people actually care about immersion. /next video

Submarines are the lowest damage class by far. Tip: quit pissing the bed over submarines.

UNINSTALL THE GAME WARGAMING SHILL

Did you really just show a t8 vs t6 submarine to make it look easy.... LOL warmoneygrub sellout
