In this subreddit we share World of Warships news, strategy, tips, discussions and other content, as well as sharing our passion for historical warships. We're Redditors with a passion for warships, gaming and the World of Warships video game on PC. Please mark leaks with spoiler tags, like this: Smolensk is balanced!. This is a bit tricky in a New Orleans, she has "ok ish" armour when angled against most cruisers, but she is over matched by so many BB's (this means armour does not matter and sitting direct nose in is a death sentence as is being caught broadside) so angling is key to try to ricochet some shells from cruisers, However what you really want to be learning is positioning and yes this means some "island hugging" and some "Occasional" open water boating (learning when you can do one or the other is vital) but if you master this at tier 7 and 8.

Yes it is time consuming but my word, once you learn how to pen other cruisers your damage will go up quite a bit from HE fires to getting those Cits!! Place 3 - 6 bots of the same ship same tier (ones your struggling with) who do not move and do not fire back and go sail up and learn where to hit them and at what ranges you get the citadels! This is how you learn angles and ranges for switching from HE to AP (from direct nose in to angles you can start to pen at using AP) also work on Super Structure vs Hull and you can see the difference in when a ship gets "Saturated" what to look for and hit other parts (it changes appearance) This is what the training rooms are for, get your Ship - New Orleans (not the best in the line btw - the Baltimore it is a big jump up with better angled armour and faster guns)
