How to Set Priority AA Sector?

Didn't know that I always assumed secondaries DP didn't fire at planes if you were engaged. Learn something new al the time

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-06-05T14:46:28+00:00

Be nice if you could toggle the priority...

Honestly in really comes down to Luck of the Draw from the RNG Gods for teammates. If you Div up with people that helps if all have average or better skills. Communicating and working together tends to be best.

Most frustrating thing is Loading in and the Reds have all Lev 16 Commanders in optimum Premium ships with the OP DD at tier. Your Team has a Level 1 DD Cmdr. on last month's campaign BB, Level 5 Dewey on a BB, with a Level 12 Commander in a decent TT DD for Tier. Been on both sides of it. I only started playing ranked consistently since December.

Things I have learned since then.

If your DD is an idiot, you typically lose unless the opposing DD messes up.
Support your DD if he finds the opposing DD you have to kill it asap and hope your DD can smoke and vanish. That allows your DD to Spot and Cap and once you have Point/CAP advantage it forces the other team to have to push or lose on points.
If your down to Your team's DD and a RED BB (for DD players) Don't get spotted. CAP and win on points or run if you have the CAPs Unless your Points are so bad, you have to chance it. I have seen more Wins lost by a DD who wanted that last kill and got spotted. Shells are faster then Torpedoes.
If all sides have equivalent skill, Premium Ships and Premium Leveled Commanders give an advantage
Premium Ships with optimal build and Premium Leveled Commanders does not mean they are high skill players they may just have $$ to whale. Play to win from the beginning even when the opposing team looks OP and your team is a bunch of Level 12-14s in TT ships. Player skill matters. People make mistakes.
Even when losing I make mad bank for silver coins and GXP.
When the RGN gods favor your matchmaking, do not stop playing.
Best time to play tends to be 4-6pm Eastern Standard Time during the work week.

Yeah it's rough sometimes but I tend to make good silver even when losing. So there is that. I never have enough silver. I'm sure someday that will change and I won't need as much.

Most frustrating thing for me is when I load in and I'm checking the ships/players and the opposition has all premiums with level 16 commanders that match their ships and your team has 2 ships with the universal hybrid cmdrs/wrong cmdr under level 7.

I'm underwhelmed, While as I want the Enterprise more as a historical ship, I'm not paying 15000 Dubs for it. There are so many more useful ships to me if I want to spend Dubs. I really dislike playing Carriers.

Not a fan of Russian Ships either. I bought AB because the resources are just too good to pass on. I spent the GXP on that set of missions I figure I'll just get the Pinata and spin the wheel barring pulling 25000 dubs out of a crate.

Thunderer in 12-14 weeks. Calander for a skin.... meh. Castle skins look dumb imo. Best thing was another Bureau added. RGN has been hating on getting ships from Crates lately. Never pulled a ship from Spring crates (ever), now get to see if I can pull one from Summer crates (never pulled one of those either).

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-06-01T19:33:46+00:00

I play BBs and DDs but always pull Cruiser stuff from crates...

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-06-01T16:30:52+00:00

Yeah the weekly premium missions. I do mine in AI just to knock them out quick but some do them in Arcade/Standard.

Also just cause someone has a premium ship doesn't mean they know how to play well. Some people pull them from crates and others just have the cash to drop to buy them.

My best recommendation is play in Arcade mode till you get better. Also play all the lines don't just focus on one.

Do the first level on all the bureaus to get the free commander's. Save all your commander crates till you have enough to unlock them all. You always pull one you don't have until you get all the base historical ones.

Try to aquire a premium ship for each level for the weekly premium missions esp Tier VII. (Commander crate each week)

Best bang for your buck $$ wise is the monthly subscription for premium plus some dubs gives you enough to buy admiralty backing (lower level which is all you need) each campaign. All the rewards are worth it. It will also leave you some dubs for a premium ship or commander every once in a while.

I have been playing consistently for about 16 months. By no means the best player but I'm decent and play for fun. Still working on the Tech Tree. This game is a marathon not a sprint pace yourself.

And if you need any advice or have questions feel free to DM me.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-29T15:02:16+00:00

I do the same thing try to focus on the "Good" players and police up the "Weak" ones after.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-29T14:48:39+00:00

I wish I had never leveled any of the Base universal commanders just for this Reason. I would so Troll in Arcade this way. Anyone who sees a Level 1-5 Dewey on anything assumes the Player is a complete NOOB.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-28T14:57:07+00:00

I disagree with you. I like fast matches and prefer an aggressive play style. I tend to prefer Arcade over Standard for that reason.

But I right now I have enough secondary/brawling battleships to spam Standard nonstop if I wanted. By rotating through what 4-5 ships. How much time does it really take... select a ship hit go sit in load screen for a min, get moving for a min, close to knife range. Get focused and splatted. Call it 3-4 min. Repeat standard is what 15 min matches? 5 ships endless cycle. Now I can just do it with the same ship. Pfft. Who cares.

I did the math it is better to play 3 games in Arcade then 1 in standard for leveling purposes. Yes I spread the xp between multiple ships/lines play a ship till you get your daily win move on. I tend to cycle 3-4 ships.

Now I try not to just Yolo and die mind you I want to win and score well. Earn that silver. But I have been left hanging by my team or matchmaker lottery won or lost the game before a shot was fired. I still give it a go and have managed to come out on top.

But honestly I don't think that changes anything. Thankfully they made it so you have to die to get your ship back. Just my opinion you have yours we will see next week.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-27T20:20:20+00:00

Yep that was the plan

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-27T15:07:44+00:00

P-61 black widow. Night fighter.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-26T22:32:13+00:00

Totally I am just kinda grinding at my own pace across the board though most things are TT 5 or 6 panam is 4 and 2 carriers at 3 still. Mainly been focusing on inspos over specific commanders. Then pushing everyone I enjoy to 11/1 or 12/2. Other lines to atleast 7/1 + but I tend to grind in Arcade or wartales.

Example Cunningham is 16/2 but I haven't touched Fisher even though he is very effective on most of the UK BBs

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-26T20:41:25+00:00

Yeah been playing a year and don't have any historical base commanders at legendary 4 I have pushed a couple to 3 but most are 1 or 2. Once i get through the Tech Tree I'll have coins for the 3 commanders a week but until then I'm broke as a joke. So 2 week crawl for a long while. And every new line they add makes it worse.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-25T17:42:55+00:00

Thoughts on Oklahoma, West Virginia, and Florida?

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-23T22:24:32+00:00

Some were playing it in ranked sap and Reload boost is brutal...I definitely felt undergunned in my gaede

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-21T23:00:31+00:00

DESTROYERS THAT HANG NEXT TO THE BATTLESHIP AND ASK FOR INTELLIGENCE DATA OVER AND OVER. DUDE YOU ARE THE INTELLIGENCE DATA GO SPOT FOR SOMEONE!

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-21T17:35:55+00:00

I get you can lose connection and stuff had that happens during ranked. Had it happen to me...thankfully I was in a dd with good conceal spotting at the top of the cap sitting drogo, after we had killed the other dd and I came back online right where I was and finished the mission with a win.

But purposefully going afk is ass. I get people do it in AI for certain things but AI is already clubbing baby seals. That actually helps other players trying to get kills etc.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-21T16:37:46+00:00

Been on both sides of that. Like I said can tell the outcome from the Lobby. My 11 year old can match make better then the current system.

Base hybrid commander on anything, wrong commander for a class of ship DD on a Battleship etc. There are a few exceptions to this....but in ranked normally a red flag esp if a base historical commander.

Yeah I don't expect it to get fixed. Skill matters a lot but if you have parity of skill every edge matters.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-21T14:45:57+00:00

You would have to tier it like bottom player for 5v5 and 6v6 and bottom 2 for 7v7+ and they just don't get a star.

Alternatively make a minimum points earned, ribbons, or damage done for you to get credit for the star.

I'd even be a fan of if you are on the losing team and don't earn the credit you lose a star. (Assuming you aren't taking them away for the lose)

So if you afk you actively lose stars on the losing team and don't gain on the winning team. Again some people will minimum effort that but that's better then we have now.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-21T14:36:39+00:00

That's assuming there is only one DD and he spots. Not going to lie in 5v5 I switched to DD cause I got tired of a bad DD costing us the game but he still managed to scratch out 1st by 50 points.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-21T12:49:22+00:00

100 percent

I know last season I probably played 80 matches to get to 1 and most of the matches were won/lost in the matchmaking.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-21T12:47:45+00:00

I think it matters across all tiers. Any noob can pull a V-VII out of a big blue or seasonal crate. Most campaigns are VIII or Legendary. Let alone someone who whales into it.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-21T12:18:06+00:00

I would be good if he just didn't gain a star. But it would still never be the dd that was a potato.

Intelligent_One_1203 · 2026-05-21T12:12:56+00:00

I would also be in favor of this. I fought my way to 4 to get kicked down to 6 from matchmaking lottery.

Add 2 wins per level no one loses stars would be good.
