I think I've pretty much given up on trying to get my team to work together. I was, at the start of the game, suggesting that players "stick together" or "support each other" and I'd maybe ask if anyone had any plans, but people seemed to only care/respond maybe 25% of the time. Maybe 40% it would be stupid or mocking comments, and the rest silence. I mean it's a public game and I shouldn't expect competition-level coordination, but I don't think it should be too much to assume that people would want to work together in such a team-oriented game. And a lot of coordination isn't even required, it's more if people just stick by and support each other in general then the team stands a far better chance of surviving than if people just go off and do their own thing.
I suppose I'll just let the chips fall as they may, and at least stick with a group myself if nothing else. Oh, by the way, has anyone clicked the "Create Division" button at the top? How does that work, and what's all involved with this option?
I do love the guys that just start firing blindy away at the start of the match, cause ya know detection ranges mean nothing.
Did one match in the langley pre wipe, ugh talk about a suck fest. Have no desire to try carriers again anytime soon.

I've been playing for a few days, but seems to me that forming a battle group is the most important thing?? Cruisers screen the Battles from Destroyers and Air. People that yolo and go off by themselves seem to be useless.
Even damn good players average 5-6 minutes per game in being alive. If you solely play sky cancer... errr arty, then I expect that to be significantly higher.Uh, most WOT games are 10~ minutes easily unless you're YOLOing like a tard, since if you have any sense you'll be humping a rock or house for 10 minutes so you don't get 1 shot by arty.

Ship games are only slightly longer for me, maybe 12-13 minutes. 5-6 minutes if I yolo in a DD and shotgun someone before I die.
The grind for this game is going to be a lot more than World of Tanks. The XP values are similar for the tiers, but the matches are far longer than in WoT. Matches seem to last about 15 minutes most of the time. Many games in WoT last only about 5.
They could name it "Arty on Water" because naval warfare (with the exception of torpedoes), at least with the WWI-II era ships in the game, is arty on water. That's the name of the game.just started playing, already tier 4 in a couple days of light playing on both sides, i cant see why anybody would call this a grind (with so few choices compared to WOT, if it leveled faster we would all be top tier in a week or two). Even in the crap ships right now i don't think I have finished in anything but top 3 places maybe 5 times. My biggest complaint is all the venom/hate for arty in WOT, and WoW is all arty it seems, 99% of my games is a team that all sits in back at maximum range shooting 10 shells and hitting with 2, when if they closed a bit (im not saying toe to toe) and connected with 50% or more they would be sinking ships way faster. Right now there is far to much charge alone stuff no doubt, but somebody has to so you get some targets showing for the 3/4 of your fleet hanging on the back line, or wont have anything to shoot at. The game is just arty in ships now (again, with the utter hate in WOT, how can so many do it?) And I do play battleships, there is something to be said about staying in back, but moving up a line or two, keeping some islands close so you can grab some cover, and landing more then 2 shells a volley would be a HUGE advantage.
right now they could just name it Arty on Water. Side note, i love my destroyers, i hardly ever have less then 3 kills in one.. Just spot, pull back and let the big boys get fixated on each other, get that tunnel vision going, then just murder um. To bad most people on your team cant shoot a torp for sheet, i wont count how many times im closer to a target, and some guy behind is laying a line on me, to get to the ship on other side. NEVER shoot torps when you could hit friendlies, they can avoid um, but it takes the sole advantage most ships have, unpredictable sailing pattern and turns you into a avoid only path that is easy to hit.
