How To IMPROVE your Game Play in WOWSL

[@dakotah_anderson]

Here is time stamps for those who want to go to a instant type 0:00-2:30 Intro 2:30-11:10 destroyers 11:25-21:24 crusiers 22:20-35:21 battleships 35:30-36:10 outro

[@LabeLincoln]

This is how I play on the weekends........😤 under the influence.......cause it's not that serious. I've got 111 ships. You sunk this one? I've got 110 more warmed up, locked and loaded.....I'll be right back buddy.

[@richykid9631]

As a solo player, it’s infuriating to go in a 5-7 game losing streak, but when you play on the weekends… it just makes you quit.

[@conqueror3569]

And imagine trying to finish an xp mission fucking impossible

[@wastelander89]

So true

[@thesaltybrit9321]

Then you get some scrub who cries about your w/l ratio, when after seeing their decisions in game you just know they were worse than you are now when they were less than 1k games played and grinding some pretty terrible ships. Had 1 guy in a DD off the bat leave our flank because of my stats apparently. So with little spotting the flank ended up folding. He achieved nothing, considering his 10k plus games I expected far better.

[@t004sm0ke]

Its sad when im looking at missions seeing which can be done vs A.I not because i prefer it that way but because giving randoms 99 chances on chance 100 u tend to look for an alternative strat lol

[@Dogwatern00b]

People who NEED to learn are too casual to care. Thank you regardless though. 👍♥️

[@nutzz7244]

From those who replied to me after I tried to give advice, you are right they don't care.

[@sniperjourney7532]

I am the only one that actually takes advice

[@sniperjourney7532]

I love advice makes me or really anyone as a player better

[@sniperjourney7532]

Like with the Wyoming I got my first high caliber earlier today as well as a dev strike

[@t004sm0ke]

Sorry to bust your bubble but there is hardly anyone it tier 7 beyond who doesn't care how they play . Games too much of a time investment to get to tier 7 not caring at all. Im a f2p player only premium ships i have are from xbox gamr pass reward perks which both are tier 3 destroyers destroyer is what i play least these days anyway. And ill tell you at tier 7 your not sitting there thinking damn if i only had a premium ship So you can kick ass as free to play i do recommend at least getting in a fleet and trying to have two or three people you can run gamrs wit Even just one team mate you can count on makes a world of diff. Even So

[@G19Jeeper]

Some tips I have from a DD gunboat player, if you have good Torps, pre torp the cap. I cannot tell you how many DDs may spot me and 2 seconds later I catch them off guard with my previously thrown area denial Torps and dev strike them off the rip. Somers is especially good at this with 12 fast Torps. Also, in any ship, pay attention to splashes. Sometimes, a enemy ship gets hit by their own ships Torps and give away their DDs position or the fact that Torps are coming. See a smoke screen, fill it with Torps. RPF shows something around the corner? Torp the whole area. I get more kills catching people offguard with these techniques than I do trying to torp battleships or something in the back. Sorry Peek for spamming comments lol

[@thethinking1]

Dont be upset with the casual players... they are the lifeblood of any game. 👍 Thanks for helping.

[@relatiivity3461]

Man, I try to help people in games that clearly don't know what they are doing and 99.9% of the time they don't listen or they tell me "sHuT uP iTs JuSt A gAmE." Nothing is going to change. Videos or not.

[@ajwisniewski133]

I’ve stopped getting upset over teams for a while now. I just get on to slap some other boats and try my best, and if we win that’s cool.

[@Rashomon00]

Same. I can't imagine being so invested in an anonymous stranger's gameplay, let alone legitimately "disappointed" lol

[@DevonDumpling70]

​@Rashomon00 Totally agree. Trouble is, everyone is a so-called expert 🙄

[@CH-vs7ex]

One thing that's hard for me is changing my game plan when my teamates are abandoning the cap we spawned at for no reason. I'll think, "well if I follow those two idiots we're 100% going to get flanked by the enemies pushing into this cap, but if I don't abandon this flank, I'm going to get focused down because I'm alone. I don't like the fact that my idiot teamates are dictating my gameplay, sometimes even forcing me to make shittier plays than I wanted to. What's a good decision when your team is just trying to stay alive until the end of the match?

[@umrswimr]

THIS! Seriously- how hard is it to play the cap you spawn??? Today I had all the players on B TRADE caps with all the players on A. Literally, they passed each other and waved. W.T.F?

[@holden7688]

WG should give us the plays poorly report option just like PC. If WG doesn't want to fix the player base let us rid high tiers of scrubs that can't play the game

[@kitfitforpurpose470]

Trading caps has a useful purpose, in the right hands. Even better when the En do it badly.

[@ZenMorph]

When you find the answer to this, please share.

[@GhatatnGames]

Ah this often happens to me too even im a mobile player and as a cruiser main i just confused what to do seeing my dd just ignoring the flank when the battle started, like the two option you mentioned could be ended up bad idea

[@ottertok-w2k]

Just started playing the game awhile ago and this video is awesome as well as your aiming one. Thanks.

[@stevengalford724]

Also shoot the proper targets, I was spotting a Baltimore in open water, was pinging the thing multiple times. Meanwhile 4 bb on my team sitting together in one square. Not a single one of them shot at it. I can't push up and spot for the team until it's dead.

[@nutzz7244]

Yes see this all the time, people don't seem to understand priority targets.

[@7thsealord888]

Sound advice, matey. When it's DD versus DD, I always go straight to guns. If nothing else, there's always a fair chance I'll take out a key system immediately. If he isn't shooting back, this tells me that he is (probably) launching torps, therefore I need to do a major turn ASAP.

[@Tbone272]

As a weekend baddie... Idk what the problem is. My shells just fall all around my target without hitting. I can stop shells in a perfect circle around an enemy, hitting water on all for sides.

[@praisethesun566]

Some days ago I was trying to explain the basic strategy of the game to a streamer that was keeping to fail division a tier V BB into tier VII matches and trying to convince me the basic of battleship play is pushing no regards to what you have against (if they are DDs, much better). Obviously he wasn’t getting good results. I think I’ll share this video with him, maybe he will change his idea looking at how you can pull out a 200k game being aware of the situation and timing your push smartly.

[@Monte1970SS]

Well now fail division is not always bad, I do it all the time with kidd and man it makes things fun lol

[@praisethesun566]

It isn’t bad if you know what you’re doing. If you are a good player you can take it as a personal challenge. But in this case it’s just new players grinding their first line together (that’s awesome, but it would be better to take ships of the same tier with this premises).

[@DukeStarscream]

Great video. Btw.:We do not need winrate in statistics. We need indicator of Wich average place you end up in the leaderboard after a match.

[@nutzz7244]

Agree Some of us want to win and some don't even bother. A person can do extremely well, but doesn't get as much credit as they should.

[@BeatBotBoop]

I'm not gonna say they're not potatoes. But there's so much RNG in the game, it's kind of hard to land a full Salvo on a battleship when my Shells fly like my gunners are drunk. 🥴

[@RedHexGaming]

29:34 Marco Polo loads SAP and aims for super structure. At that range, it’s pretty easy for all or most of your shells to hit and penetrate the superstructure, doing full pen damage

[@ReadIcculus93]

I play the Zara a lot, with Sansonetti and man... 5-7k per salvo every time consistently with the SAP with almost no overpens. Just don't get blind sided by some AP, cause I just got crushed for 33k in one salvo camping behind an Island. Just as i started to move, I was obliterated.

Although you've obviously been away from Legends for a long time, I appreciate your advice. Still working even though funny airplane stuff and other nice things happen in the game these days.

[@caneforto346]

I'm the guy who play on weekends. Here is how it works. I have everything I need in my life, no need to prove yourself by winning games. So all I need - just get my cup of tea, relax in front of the monitor, scrolling instagram by one hand and do something in wows by second hand. Just talking to my dudes in the party, have fun and get happy when you are able to hit some one with a torpedos. No needs to be a nolifer cybersportsman 😉

[@marlonmeade3757]

That’s not an excuse to not know how to play the game 😂😂😂

[@blenderoffendor]

So you're having fun losing most of your games?

[@caneforto346]

@@blenderoffendor yes, because i dont care about winrate

[@blenderoffendor]

@@caneforto346 It's not about the winrate or any stats. No matter if I'm fully focused on the game or just playing while chilling with my dudes I would not want to be losing 60% of my games -> Your battles are shorter, you wait longer for your mates, etc. And as a matter of a fact: The game gets sooo much better when you start to understand how and why things work and know more about tactics.

The game really needs a tutorial for each of the ship types to explain their general roles.

[@cptchilliring9248]

Definitely a difference between weekday and weekend, I'm a 51% sub 2k XP average player and I watch and think WTF, sometimes you have a game where you get spotted and focussed but when the majority of the games collapse in 5 mins it's concerning, and don't get me started on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

[@177SCmaro]

I sometimes think there should be more requirements, like exp or something, to actually play standard at legendary. The players are often so bad at high tier I don't play up there as most matches are one sided and over in 10 minutes. Plus the que times are long.

[@nutzz7244]

Been saying this for couple years, agree.

[@brcarter1111]

With ships like the Riga at close range vs lightly armored cruisers, I always hit the water just below the waterline. Hitting the water arms the shell and you almost never get overpens and way more juicy citadels.

[@o0_VanYsH_0o]

No matter your level of expertise or experience, the good thing is that with each new ship or "feature" that is brought to the game, Legends changes just a little. This means there are always new strategies to learn. Used to be a Scrub in the Mainz, because I used to always play it close up. Nowadays, I play more far back and into Island cover to farm BBs, like all Firespammers were meant to lol. Anyway, what I'm saying is, Even pros can still pick up a thing or 2. I started playing back when Jean Bart was a Campaign ship, and I learn new things almost every time I play

[@ellissmith3396]

Playing mainz everytime doesn't make you a good player since that ship is better then all of the tier I cruisers

[@ellissmith3396]

Tier 8

[@o0_VanYsH_0o]

@@ellissmith3396 Any ship can be good or bad depending on the player. I person in a Shimakaze can still throw. Yeah it's broken but the player requires skill too. Simple Ship choice is like 20% of the entire skill rating of how good a player is.

[@mikeD1234]

Mainz shouldn’t be just a fire spammer.German HE sucks. Shoot AP. That’s the bread and butter. AP is effective damage in that you can’t heal it like you can heal fire damage. Definitely play close islands too. You have 4 racks of torps, sonar, planes, kick ass guns. What more could you need?

[@samuelhudson2620]

As a truly casual player trying to get better, I will say as is with most communities, the toxicity towards people who don't know how to play well needs to stop. One of the first interactions I ever had playing was another guy yelling and cursing at me because I wasn't doing what he thought I should have been. Then you get streamers like tbull who don't use game chat and just rage at other players. I see it in the world of tanks, I see it in wow legends, and the culture needs to change. Reach out to people and offer to teach, I've watched countless videos and still really don't have a handle on map locations, and I'm still wiffing shots. If these changes aren't made, don't be surprised when the problem doesn't get better.

You keep saying RPF as a new player ( 2 weeks) that plays a hour or two in the evening after work what are you talking about when you say RPF. The biggest issues I'm having sometimes either in a DD or Cruiser is Torpedoes showing up at the very few secs before I get blasted by them and have no time to dodge or I go into a Cap to spot for the group I spawn with I'll have like 4 or 5 ships blast me all at once or one shotted by a cruiser or battleship that I haven't even spotted

[@slipperySwede]

Nice video! I'm a total noob, just got the game on my PS4, so I'm probably one of those idiots you mention :) but at least I'm trying to improve. Anyway, some notes: 1. Is it only this one strategy that is proven to always be the best? I.e. engaging the cap where you were spawned? 2. To fully grasp this video you first need to study the WoWL lingo used, like RPF, RGA(?) etc. 3. Tips like "look at the minimap" and "have situational awareness" doesn't say me much unless you give more details of what that really means. Nevertheless, I still learned a ton from this video, thanks!

[@vincehoward3853]

Nice job, Peek. You should do some how to videos on different ships at random and even different tiers. How to Fubuki, How to Nelson, How to Georgia, etc. - hundreds of different options and showing how each ship is a little different & requires different tactics.

Bro I was with a team of destroyers. Screamed at both of them because the fubuki was afraid of an akatsuki and our other dd was hovering near a separate cap. The fubuki refused to push into the cap and spot so we could help him and the other dd refused to leave his cap. I eventually found out that the enemy fubuki came to our cap as well. 2 useless dd and me dodging as much as I can just to get devstrike by 3 fubu torps in a t6 bb. The level of team play in a team based game is fenomonally nonexistant.

Wargaming needs to fix matchmaking so badly. Either your game has 8 destroyer or it has one. Make em wait an extra 10 seconds so that it’s proportionate. The spawns are trash, spawning two BBs on the same side as a carrier, a DD and the numerous fire spammers that WG loves to use for money grabs. You know nobody at WG plays their own game cause I refuse to believe if they did, they wouldn’t change it. Also, Kaga is way too fucking strong. It is AIDS in floating form.

I also don’t think these assignments and challenges help teamwork. Instead you have DD’s chasing kills cause they need them. I too did this, I need torps to hit for a challenge so do you think I’m going to cap or hunt down BB’s to hit torps? I’m a team player but when no one is trying to win then why care about the team results. Instead the developers should be putting up assignments that promote team play instead of individual results.

[@nutzz7244]
