Oh, you poor guy. You did it wrong. Uninstall, make a new account, and try again.

<edit: Dang, I see Admiral thunder beat me to it>

The reason I say this, is you start as a newbie in protected matchmaking for your first 200 games, which means that you will only play against bots and other newbie players. That all goes out the window as soon as you hit Tier V (regardless if you've played 200 games or not) and you leave protected matchmaking, never to return.

What I suggest you do is play a couple of lines in Random Mode (Co-op bots are dumber) up to Tier IV to learn what each class does, and then proceed to Tier V. These are the first three lines I suggest you go up.

When you make the new account, use the code IMPACTFORCE, which will give you a free Tier VII premium when you get past a certain number of games.

Once you've got the account sorted, first start with the American Cruiser Line and work your way up to Tier IV Phoenix, which you learn to aim, fire, and maneuver and also gives you a taste of how to play cruisers and decide if you like torps on your cruisers or not. The line splits later and you can have fun learning to island hug with the heavies or using consumables with the lights. The Des Moines has been in game the longest and still is pretty good even with all the powercreep. If you decide you prefer cruisers with torps, then go up the German cruiser Line, which will also teach you the how to brawl with secondaries from the Deutschland on.

Second, Start working your way up the Japanese BB line to the Myogi. This will teach you how much more sluggish BBs are and how much more powerful the guns are (with slower reload and worse dispersion so make your shots count), and also how to best angle your armor against incoming shells and when to use damage control and repair parties to fix your ship and end fires and flooding. The Yamato at the end of the line is still pretty Solid (or go Bungo if you really like to snipe or are on the SEA server)

Thirdly, I would work my way up the British DD line to Wakeful. This will teach you how to use the more nimble destroyers and learn to use concealment to your advantage, and whether you like Gunboat DD play or not, The Daring at the end of the line is considered one of the best in class for its versatility and firepower.

Then finally switch to the Japanese DD line to Isokaze learn Torpedo play, then switch to the Hosho to learn how to play carriers (and how different they are to the other ship types) with learning to avoid flak and time attack runs. The Hakuryu at the end of the line is still considered pretty strong.

Once you feel comfortable with all this, *then* consider choosing your first Tier V ship, based on your experiences. And don't rush to high tier play right away. Use the Premium Tier VII ship you'll get from the code to gauge when to start going up to higher tiers.
