I often find myself not contributing to games very much. I usually die way to early. How can you tell when its safe to push, and when you need to retreat? How far is too far? Thanks sorry for badpost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're trying to flex like you can in WoT, it won't work well, ships just take too long to cover the map. Carrying doesn't work well either because of that.

Basically pay attention to your minimap and make a judgement call. It is beta so do experiment there will be a wipe of statistics so you won't have to worry about all the people seeing how bad you were. -Powerkilroy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you spot a group of reds and no one else on your team is near them, get the hell out of Dodge. Corollary: There is strength in numbers.
