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.

i'd like to add about the "higher tier ships" . Begginer play those for two reasons: 1they can be fun and a change of pace from other ships they have 2 already at reaching tier V, and even worse at tier VI, i personnally felt a difficulty of having enough credits to keep up with research, so higher tier premiums are almost needes so that your grind isnt too painful
@TYPCLWKRАй бұрын
@@antoinep.2565 Your point/s are valid but based on my experience, dont buy premiums unless you are familiar with its gameplay. If you have experience with cruisers then go ahead and buy a premium cruiser but dont expect to buy a premium destroyer just because its popular in the community but you have no experience with it. I've seen a few accounts where (just an example) they have only reach tier 6 and have only played battleships and cruisers and he is out there using a Hafford just because of its hydrid gimmick.

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)

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.

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.
@ryanbrochu3336Ай бұрын
Not to mention those higher tier ships, at least in my case, love to focus you back as a -1 or -2 ship. I absolutely detest -2 MM as the power gap between is often huge, especially in terms of gun range and DPM/Alpha strike. Yeah, you get boosted exp for damaging higher tier ships but that means little when they slap you for 50% of your hp in 1 salvo, it's rather hard to contribute to your teams success. I once had a game in Mogami, T8 Japanese cruise, where I happened to sail within 10km of a unspotted Forrest Sherman. Needless to say, by the time I got out of their gun range, I had lost 75% of my hp in less than a minute. And with no heal, i was dead in about 30s later. Another favourite aspect of the game of mine, is when a BB can out-spot a cruiser, get on your broadside and slap the ever-living crap out of you.

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.

@pitbrandАй бұрын
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. :)

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

@@grayboats7741 that is why today's game in WOWS is totally disconnected , the BB all camp and farm , the CV and SS do their farming and basically stay out of trouble , and the small guys just play their own, none care to support others as they know full well all the others want is for the " others " to go fight but never themselves .. as a DD main , mine is very simple , simply NO support for those who will not forward and support their own team's vanguards , been playing for too long to be nice guy and spot for the team , contest the cap etc etc .. what come .. enemy push then the Cruisers and BB turn tail even faster than me able to put up a smoke , too many time been sold as meat shield , fire bait, decoy when they just speed to hide, camp and farm ..

@MechFrankaTLieu Mainly a BB player, but have seen so many do as you say. Why I get 6 on 1. 1 ship can't support vanguard alone! Same deal when I'm low tier then after contact whole flank runs. Why I like divison play. At least on ship working with me.
@pitbrandАй бұрын
Very true especially for tiers VIII and higher. That's when the big ships just sit still and wait for a target to magically appear in their view while blaming dd mates because it's not happening right away. Then there are the few who instead of joining in for focus fire they seem to hold back and try to wait for that final shot instead of helping along the way. One big reason I play a lot of tier VII more so these days. Much more fun game play there.

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.

Hope i make sense, have a great day/night all.
@BeSh-zz4nlАй бұрын
Hello. I think this answers your question: Research points stack on multiple resets, so you can use free xp to research a whole line, then reset it and repeat. Then only buy the ships when you want to get the points. Also worth remembering that double reset renews in 10 days time, so you get twice the points for the first reset after it renews. I'm currently doing this with Schlieffen line. Have 30k already stored up on Schlieffen, waiting for double reset so it goes up to 42k before I buy it and claim points. With the points from the lower tier ships and the 12k I already have, should be enough to get Ohio.
