My same thought tbh

[@Jibb3rs]

Ive been a helmsman since launch and since i dont spend allot of time on the cannons i cant give my crew advice like this and i have to watch them try and have fun only to have that fun replaced with frustration over missed shots and loot loss and a general skill gap between us and hardcore players makes it hard to keep them interested. These videos are keeping the game alive for them simply by providing them with solid advice. They notice a junp in skill every time they play after one of these videos. So with all the love on the seas, we, the crew of the "Gilded Breedull, thank you Cap'n Cliff.

[@ezekieltem5839]

Ah yes the time when I was *attempting* to help VIP level her hourglass, just happened to have cliffs stream open. And what do i see for his opponent’s ship name? “Im noob”, the very ship I had happened to be on at the time. Congrats on skelly curse cliff! Truely though, her Summon the Megalodon Shanty does sound better when there isn’t delay on the singer’s voice.

[@v.i.p.s.k.a.r7649]

Curse the seas having delay

[@Gamer88334]

As someone who also has the Skelly Curse now, I can confirm that sometimes leaving certain parts of your ship damaged can help. I won an Hourglass battle by doing something that probably left my opponent confused. Near the end of the battle, he damaged my anchor and eventually boarded my ship. Naturally, we fought for a few seconds. But unfortunately for him, I noticed our ships were going to pass by each other while we were fighting. I managed to knock him onto the deck below my wheel, then I started lowering my anchor and jumped onto his ship a couple seconds later. He didn’t even try to stop me from sailing his ship out of bounds, but he did set my ship on fire. Why did I lower my anchor? Well, just in case he was gonna try to do the same thing. When you and your opponent are trying to sail each other’s ships out of bounds, sometimes stalling them is a good idea.

About warthunder, since you talked about it, for any people who want to download it: -There are 3 dificulties, wich come with 3 levels of realism: arcade, realistic and simulator (dont try simulator, you stand no chance) -There are 3 types of battles: tanks (basically world of tanks, point and click), planes(my personal favourite, requires skill even on arcade mode, but remember the most advanced planes are piloted by the most advanced pilot, if you pick up a warhawk as a begginer you will get whooped) and ships (i didnt even know it existed, you might as well play world of ships) -the game offers over 3000 vehicles from the WWII era all the way to modern day Have fun!
