Just started playing this over the weekend and have advanced to Tier 5 but still using Tier 3 St Louis Cruiser. I suck at Tier 4 Phoenix torp cruiser. I suck at torpedoes, period!

I'd like to ask, can I just research towards a Tier 6 Cleveland without having to actually buy an Omaha (tier 5 ship)? Damn Phoenix cost me a bomb and I'm sure an Omaha will be even more expensive

US and Japan Cruiser i no use torpedo at all..
i only do harassment on Battleship and hunt down those annoying destroyer

Yeah, same here. Have more or less "mastered" the main guns but torpedoes..... I really want to stick with gun boats and the next cruiser I'm aiming for is the Cleveland. Need to grind for XP with my Tier 3 St Louis. Don't relish the idea of spending $$ on having to buy a tier 5 cruiser (also a torpedo cruiser!) if it can be avoided.

i like using omaha..
carrier hate me so much when their plane fly pass my ship

Unfortunately no. U need the ship experience from Omaha to go to Cleveland . And u cant earn free exp fast enough for tat. If u wan to be fast ,then just buy Omaha ,sell off Phoenix and dont buy any upgrade from Omaha other than research .

Omaha is imba imo. Ur gonna have a lot of fun in it trust me. The torps on US cruiser are extra but pretty fun to use if u know how to aim using the grey indicator.

And one more tips, keep Omaha until ur out of space. They're really really fun .I do hope I dont need to sell off my Omaha but St.Louis is more fun .

i'm playing IJN BB line, currently on Tier V Kongou, seems like most of you play US line

i feel like i'm sucks in aiming, although i have very long firing range but most of my lead shot is miss, either wrong lead timing or the shell just drop at the side of enemy ship

i always get killed by enemy because i keep on spearhead in the game, and most of the time i got shitty teammate that doesn't know how to move forward and all of them just say at base/spawn area

i also noticed many players that to border hugging, not sure what's the purpose but it seems like it is harder to hit them and estimate their speed when they are at the border

that's what i'm doing, sometime i can see the shell will land right at the citadel but end up full salvo land at the side of the ship, 4 shell land at port side, 4 shell at starboard

damn...i hate RNG

German and Russian Tech tree introduced with the latest patch

german tier 2 ship just like st louis ship..
sooo many gun can spam fire...

But the damage from the German guns suck.....

for me i wont mind..tier 2 german ship i can get double kill within 20 sec..
spam gun like a boss

after so used to play tier 5 ships, going back to tier 1 to try the german and soviet tree really hurts my statistic
does citadel exist in lower tier ship? I sprayed another ship with AP at tier 2 in my tier 2 german but no citadel at all


wyoming, nicholas, omaha, murmansk, minekaze, furutaka; I enjoy playing with them all

Omaha is not a bad ship, maybe lest enjoyable than phoenix since it have 1 mile less range but meet tougher opponent; but the number of gun and the rate of fire is still significant advantage. having 6 gun facing forward is a big advantage when 1vs1 with other cruiser, use 1/2 or 1/4 speed maintain heading to the cruiser and shoot AP.

cruiser should not go anywhere below 10km to enemy battleship, their guns is too lethal and accurate enough within that distance. and cruiser's torpedo is not really be main consideration, only alternative for survival

I use omaha counter carrier plane lol

U just need to aim the right place .Citadel exist in most cruiser provided u know where to aim . IJN citadel is the best . I always KO'ed them if I'm lucky.
Here....in case ur wondering if it exist at all.

do not shot from the furthest range of your gun, that going to have poor accuracy, i would take it around 10-13 km range, the shell travel time is shorter, and more accurate. another rule, go in team, do not go alone

found most players just hide at back and snipe from far range, this game really make me sick, going to stop and back to tank for this mean time.

haha i dont plan on getting used to lower tier gameplay
play it once, win that one time, sell it away
and that ship shall forever remain in my record as ship with win rate of 100% LOL

Just noticed the tag. World of Warships is a naval themed MMO, not Simulation.

I still find it more Simulate than MMO

Yarrr... shitty teammates but I got this
