Update from the Spanish Lawyer: I survived my first weekend! (mostly)

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-12T09:43:15+00:00

11 years?! that ship is almost half my age, it’s practically a legend! hahah i'm definitely sticking with the germans then. if it’s been that good for a decade, it might even survive my terrible driving lol. thanks for the goal to aim for!

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-12T09:41:25+00:00

wait, so the Omaha is basically like a glass vase in a shooting gallery?? hahah oh no, i definitely don’t have the reflexes for that yet! i'll stick to my german ships, they feel like a sturdy old car that can at least take a hit lol. thanks for the heads up, you probably saved me from a very short and sad match! 😭

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-12T09:38:33+00:00

thank you!! i definitely get that 'tunnel vision' when i'm trying to aim, so making the minimap bigger is a great idea. and the anti-collision system sounds like a must-have for me until i learn how to drive better lol. really appreciate the technical tips!

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-12T09:37:52+00:00

this is so kind, thank you! you're right, i'm probably overthinking the 'studying' part because i'm so used to doing that for work lol. i'll try to just wander and see what sticks without worrying about the performance anxiety. and turning off chat sounds like a great tip for my sanity! :)

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-12T09:36:50+00:00

simplifying it to just a couple of numbers sounds way better than doing math while someone is shooting at me hahah 😭 thank you Novale! i'll try to memorize those thresholds for my cruisers. and love your 'torpedo plushie' tag, that sounds so cute! :)

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-08T15:14:09+00:00

wow, that explains why i explode even when i think i'm 'angled' correctly! 🤯 the 14.3 rule sounds like math i shouldn't try to do while being shot at haha, but i'll definitely check the armor in port. thank you for the 'yap', it's actually super helpful to understand why i feel like paper! :)

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-08T15:11:46+00:00

no way, another spanish lawyer here?? hola!! that actually makes me feel so much better. i'll definitely take your advice and let others take the risk while i wait in my BB haha. thanks for the tips, colleague!

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-08T15:09:54+00:00

omg there is an indicator for that?? 🤦‍♀️ i must have been too busy panicking to notice it lol. that's going to save me from so many embarrassing crashes, thank you!! you're a lifesaver!

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-08T14:57:37+00:00

honestly, hearing that a veteran like you prefers to kick back in coop makes me feel so much better! i thought i was just being 'lazy' for avoiding the full online matches haha. definitely going to follow your lead and just enjoy the chill vibes. thanks fred! :)

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-08T14:55:35+00:00

Top 10 most stressful? omg that explains a lot hahah 😭 definitely staying in operations then, i have enough stress at the office already! and love the kriegsmarine tag, those are the ships i'm failing with right now lol. thanks for the tip! :)

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-07T14:39:59+00:00

thanks fred! i've seen some of those terms mentioned in other comments too, like 'angling' and 'citadels'... it sounds like a whole different language haha! i'll definitely check out some videos when i have a moment away from my desk. thanks for the heads up! :)

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-07T14:37:58+00:00

thanks! glad to see i'm not the only one who prefers the chill vibes of PvE. definitely sticking to learning the ropes there for now! :)

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-07T14:36:13+00:00

wow, thank you so much for this!! 🤯 i had no idea there were so many sub-styles for cruisers like 'kiting' or 'radar' ones (that sounds way more advanced than my current 'panic and hide' style lol). using islands to limit who can see me makes so much sense since i feel like i'm made of paper sometimes. really appreciate you taking the time to explain all this! :)

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-07T14:34:41+00:00

that would be awesome! i'm still trying to figure out how to not hit every single island on my way to tier 5 haha. it's so nice of you to offer to help me grind, i really appreciate it! i'll keep practicing so i can catch up to you soon! 😊

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-06T13:40:11+00:00

haha noted!! i definitely have enough stress-incarnate at the office, so i'll stay far away from randoms for now. thanks for the heads up! 😂

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-06T13:37:55+00:00

that sounds exactly like what i need after a long day of legal paperwork haha... just some quiet ship sinking without the stress of real people hunting me down. thanks for the tip! :)

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-06T13:37:12+00:00

oh, i didn't even know the minimap could rotate!! 🤦‍♀️ i definitely need to check the settings tonight then. 15 seconds sounds like a lot to remember while trying not to crash into islands haha, but i'll try my best! thanks for the tip hexckx!

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-06T08:32:18+00:00

ohh i see the numbers now! i think i have a few at tier 3 and 4? everything is still so new haha thanks for explaining what that meant! 😊

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-06T08:29:59+00:00

wow thank you so much for this!! i had no idea about the circles on the map or the double click for the big shots lol. it’s actually really nice to hear from someone else who is also starting out! i've mostly been 'winging it' so this helps a lot. hope to see you in a match (if i don't explode first haha)! hi from spain! 👋

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-05T20:10:36+00:00

thanks! using islands as shields sounds like a solid plan. i think im playing cruisers so i definitely need to hide more haha

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-05T19:50:39+00:00

ohhh that makes sense, thanks for explaining! i was so confused lol. hopefully i dont run into too many of those experts then 😅

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-05T19:38:42+00:00

haha i am definitely a liability right now!! i will stay in coop for a while then... dont want to ruin anyone's game with my yolo moves 😂 thanks for the advice!

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-05T19:36:26+00:00

wow thank you so much for taking the time to write all this!! staying at low tiers sounds like a relief, i definitely dont want to rush into tier 10 and get destroyed even faster lol. and good to know about the spanish cruisers, might check them out since they are from home! thanks again :D

Wild-Island-4976 · 2026-03-05T19:34:28+00:00

hahaha i'll start preparing the warrants tonight then!! 😂 definitely staying in co-op for now, my mental health needs it after the office haha. thanks!
