[2019] Kami's Learning the Basics Guide

Learning the Basics!

Hey Captains,

My goal with this compendium is to create a place where new and veteran players can go to get a better grasp on the basics of the game. This is something that I feel is lost on some players and needs to be refreshed sometimes. I have already started with the Mini-Map guide but I also want to add some other topics.

These topics will include:

Ammo types and when to use them.


Correct use of armor (angling).


General characteristics of ship types (strengths and weaknesses).


Nation overviews with highlights.


Captain Skills and Consumables.


Correct way of using torpedoes.


Positioning and early map movements.

Part 1 Mini-Map:

Captains, if you have any ideas on what you would like to see in this, please let me know.

That is a great suggestion and it has been noted!

Awesome responses captains! I will include these where they fit.

That is a great idea, it would take a little bit to do each map but I can do a general idea on a map or two to show what I mean. This can be included in the positioning part of the guide.

I am looking to update this section at least once a week.

If you have anymore ideas on what you think would be helpful to see/learn, please put it here. Any thoughts on what you want to see next?

I will be doing torpedoes and captain skills next week :). We are at the New Jersey this weekend for Anchors Away!

Hey everyone,

Sorry I have not posted any helpful guides this week, I will post at least one new one next week!

We will cover nation overview and highlights. If I have time I will also cover positioning and early map movements.

Hey Wrongtrack58,

Honestly, you are free to play/try any line you want in the game =). Part 5 of my guide highlights nation overviews and some stand out ships of those nations. As a new player I would recommend you trying multiple lines and ship types before you decide on what line(s) you want to focus on. I would caution you though, as you move up lines ships/modules tend to get more expensive and you might find yourself spread thin on credits.

If I had to choose two lines to start with, I would still recommend the USN BBs and IJN cruisers. These are two of the oldest lines in the game but they they do a great job in teaching the basics =).

Feel free to ask more specific questions if they come up and the community will be glad to help you!

Hey Captains,

I need your help on picking the next topics we will cover! I still have a few left that i originally talked about but what do you Captains want covered?

Armor angling and explanation of armor will be next on deck.

Please leave your recommendations here about what else you think players should know/see. This week will be quite busy so expect a new topic next week for sure!

Thanks!

Anytime and if you have any questions feel free to ask, players and staff are here to help!

Hey Captains,

With patch this week things have been busy but don't fret, we will get to a new topic soon! I am thinking it will be early map movements and opening battle strategy.

Anything else on this topic would you like to discuss? Early map movements is one of the things I see a lot that has players getting out of position or just getting lost.

Give me your ideas here and I will do the best to cover them soon!

Thanks!

Hey Captains,

We will have an update to this guide soon! Anything in particular you want to see as the topic?

I am thinking target prioritization will be the next topic! Look for it later this week.

Hey Captains,

I will get to target prioritization early next week, sorry for the delay!

I have begun on it and will finish it soon.

I hope you are enjoying the new patch!
