Mid tier cruisers are some of the most challenging to play, especially the squishy Pensacola. This game is not focused on high damage or amazing shots, but rather the importance of intelligent positioning.

I've always noticed and felt that WoWS, WoT [which is trash nowadays imo] and some other games have either bare bones, limited or just no tutorials at all. On one side of the coin, its nice to learn things on your own and the satisfaction of learning and doing well after it is a good feeling! But on the flip, a majority of players can *and will* fail all the way up to Tier 10. I do plan on making a tutorial but im lazy and real life's in the way, so disregard this whole sentence :P

With just over 2,000 games played this shows me just how many things I did not know that I did not know. My overall stats would be better if I did not go through so many growing pains early on and my game play would be better right now if I had not developed some bad habits. I was once a Half-Life master and it was a pure mad man style that did it for me so the adjustment has been hard. I have been changing things as of late with better results but info like this is invaluable. Thanks Flamu.

I used to hate the Pepsicola at T7 but at T6 it is actually really strong against the same tier, yeah it can be deleted pretty easy but more T7 cruisers are like that. The guns are just so good for the tier with that improved autobounce angle at deleting other cruisers and with good positioning it is very strong in T6 ranked. I got to rank 1 with it last time.

Hi @Flamu. Thank you for this video. I've watched all your tutorial videos in the past. I'm happy to see an updated tutorial. Do you have advice on how to aim at and disable turrets? I was in a my Des Moines once. I was in a bow-in fight against another Des Moines. So I naturally switched to HE. Enemy stayed on AP. I initially took out a lot of HP from him, but he started disabling my turrets, and eventually blew up one. And so I lost that fight. And I realized that disabling enemy turrets is one of those tings unicum players do very well.
@stallfighter4 жыл бұрын
Just aim slightly higher, just like with cruiser AP vs battleships upper hull. Usefull if your guns are pretty accurate up close (cruisers, soviet and US BBs), because for example 406 mm guns have penetration about 700-800 mm at this distance.

Also, back in the day, the defensive fire consumable and fighters made CV drops far less accurate while being attacked. However, you were more screwed if you didn't have good AA than you are now since they could easily 1 strike you, which isn't really possible nowadays (with a few exceptions)
