Greetings Captains,

Here’s a list of personal milestones that I hit during the week:

1. Played my first Savage Battles
2. Participated in more Clan Battles with Clan WG

Focus Points of the Week
After talking to a number of you in last week’s thread, I made a few changes in focus that I think were beneficial to my learning experience. Here’s a few things I accomplished:

You will receive doubloons! 5,000 to be precise. Sorry for the delayed response.

Whoa I had not even considered taking Brisk (BB problems) but this is a really fascinating way to play her. I will certainly be looking into this build in the future to see how I like it!

MASSIVELY helpful. Thank you so much!!

This and what you described below in regard to autopilot is completely foreign to me, so I am definitely going to have to do some more research and experimenting. I will call upon the power of Ahskance for guidance as well, since clearly I have no clue, lol. Thanks for the tip!


Lol, thank you! I may take her out for a couple spins but I am just satisfied that I completed the grind at all. Now a new grind begins!

Comment

This seems to be the key. I have yet to experiment heavily with specialized builds for ships, and what you describe here sounds ideal for me. I will certainly be looking into this. Thank you!

Thanks for the tag, y'all! There seems to be something bizarre on the backend regarding these Type 10s. We've made the proper teams aware and they're looking into what's going on. As soon as I hear anything, I'll let you know.

Didn't screenshot it, but I pulled a Moskva on my very first Firepower container! Have opened maybe 6 or 7 more since then and haven't seen another ship, but I am not complaining after that first pull.

Comment

Suppose I should have been clearer. I meant in how she's played and what she offers in comparison to the Langley.

The more I try to use the torp bombers occasionally the more that I find that I agree with you. I mainly use them for spotting/poking then swap to something more useful after I have a target/targets.

We talked about this in a previous week. I brought up the fact that it doesn't seem to be as used across players that I am familiar with, but I do like having the rudimentary knowledge of who is paying attention to me. I think once I grow more comfortable with the game, I will probably abandon PT. But for now, it's helping me with positioning.

Comment

I'm taking this into account now and finding some low-key success with it. We shall see how it goes for the rest of the week!

Without further ado, let’s proceed with Week 8!

Accomplishments
Here’s a list of personal milestones that I hit during the week:

1. Played in my first ever Clan Battles with Clan WG
2. Once again played several rounds of Dirigible Derby

Focus Points of the Week
After talking to a number of you in last week’s thread, I made a few changes in focus that I think were beneficial to my learning experience. Here’s a few things I accomplished:
1. Using the Priority Target skill in even more builds
2. Practice at using the Moskva more effectively.

Dirigible Derby
I considered making the title of this week’s post Down and Derby 3: Electric Cruiser-loo but...

I plan on playing with it more this coming week, but I am loving it so far! I think this will satisfy some concerns I had with taking in ship classes that I am less comfortable with (namely DDs and cruisers).

Yup, I am fully experiencing these complications. I do wish that I had more Tier Xs to work with at the moment (for now it's just the Jinan and the Moskva for me) but I am going to take the Moskva tips into consideration this week when I am Down and Derby once again!

These are all excellent tips (as usual) and really good things to keep in mind. As survivability is always a concern for me, I think I will continue to focus on broadsides with Cruisers in Ops this week and see how I fair. I can see myself moving onto DDs if I get comfortable with this.

Comment

You hit the nail right on the head! I want to continue to play, get better and learn the game so I can be the best Community Manager that I can be. I have no intention of stopping.

Hearing you say this really resonates. I am going to be putting this on builds going forward until I am more confident in my own skills. Thank you for this suggestion!

Comment

Consistency is indeed key! Hopefully I am taking steps towards getting there.
I wasn't sure if Priority Target was a useful skill to use or not. I hadn't heard many people talk about it, but it is good to know that there are uses for it.
I did get the sense that BBs might not be the best for some operations, while it is really good for others. The problem is that I am just so comfortable with the survivability that BBs bring that I have been afraid to branch out. I need to start developing skills elsewhere.
Also, thank you!

I am definitely encouraged by the fact that I am doing a lot of these things already! I think for the most part I am kiting effectively and at the right times. Often when I do retreat though, I don't think about retreating "into the herd" necessarily, but that is something I can keep in mind. I think that will help me stay in the fray more often. Otherwise, my mail goal has just been retreating, regardless of my positioning at times.

This is something that I have been fortunate to get away with occasionally. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
