The community has been awesome in welcoming an old guy who has not played a computer game in years. You guys are a patient lot to be sure, at least I've found that to be true. Learning how to use the gun sight relative to distance and lead time was something that I wish I'd known in the very beginning. And the foremost thing, people love setting me on fire! Have a great weekend and remember, it's a game, have fun with it. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

15 anonym_uO7eEzhrDxsi Members 687 posts Report post #12 Posted September 11, 2016 Having fun, that should be the bottom line to this game. Even the frustration is fun because you learn from it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2,889 [HINON] Phoenix_jz Members 7,797 posts 2,144 battles Report post #13 Posted September 11, 2016 Yeah. As advice, every time you're sunk, think back and try to understand what you did that git you sunk. Also, spectating others after you've sunk is a great way to pick up on stuff you should (or shouldn't lol) do. Happy Hunting! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you ever see me online, I'd be more than willing to division up with you and help you get a better feel for things. Just keep an open mind and never stop learning. Heck, even at 3000 battles, I'm still learning new things I never knew before. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
123 [RS] Paulo2011 Members 378 posts 22,723 battles Report post #16 Posted September 11, 2016 I will echo Ace, I'm always open to division up with someone who wants to learn. My stats are still down from a rocky start and I'm closing in on my 4000 game, plus I'm usually farming credits at lower tiers to pay for the repair costs of higher ones. As for the fires? Avoiding them is an art form or you have to pray to RNGesus, neither works well. See you in game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
15 anonym_uO7eEzhrDxsi Members 687 posts Report post #17 Posted September 11, 2016 Awesome guys and thanks! If you see me in game and notice something I'm doing that nuts please let me know, critiques are welcome. the big thing I've noticed when I die so far is how far forward I've pushed a position in view and field of fire of multiple ships. This morning I ended up alone way out on a flank facing 2 DDs and a BB. Did not turn out well for me. For some reason I have a hard time getting my focus back on the mini map between shots.

The hardest thing for me to learn but has reaped the most improved in game benefit is situational awareness, figuring out who can target me now and in 30 seconds if I turn to port or starboard, That and never sail straight RNG loves straight..

15 anonym_uO7eEzhrDxsi Members 687 posts Report post #20 Posted September 11, 2016 There were two things that I learned this week. One was the fact that I can actually change the size of the mini map I never knew how to do that. The second was to use the left shift key to come back out of the zoom mode. Prior to that I was trying to use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out and change views which is very slow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
234 Carrier_Junyo Members 738 posts 6,483 battles Report post #21 Posted September 11, 2016 (edited) Glad you are liking the game. It IS more addictive than crack. I never spent $1000 or 30+ hours a week on any other game. Thise of us who invest money and time into the game are quite passionate and vocal about problems in the game and ways to improve them. Carrier gameplay being a perfect example. Edited September 11, 2016 by lord_of_storms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The community has been awesome in welcoming an old guy who has not played a computer game in years. You guys are a patient lot to be sure, at least I've found that to be true. Learning how to use the gun sight relative to distance and lead time was something that I wish I'd known in the very beginning. And the foremost thing, people love setting me on fire!

Yep. And at about 3000 games, I still have those moments where I look back and think "That didn't work very well", or "That was stupid". Then again, sometimes I look back and think "Damn, I just kicked butt". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again, sometimes I look back and think "Damn, I just kicked butt". Lol! I have those thoughts all the time of what the heck was I thinking on that one. I'm just starting to have some battles go my way where I can smile and think that might have worked out well for me that time. The advice I've been getting on here has been awesome!
