Im getting about 1200 per round if i survive. I normally come out of a round with an accuracy of 35+. I'm level 15 now but im saving up 37k so i can go straight in with a german destroyer which cost 37,000. Then hopefully the money from selling my ship will be enough to give it guns. 5xDual 4".

the money i'm making a round just about breaks even. Damn <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
have no torp launchers either now i have gone german.
The moment you get a nation/DD is not the moment you should leave the nubzone! Just stay in there for some levels, because the battle enraging in the north are most often fought by guys who's ships may not look strong but have mass torps or some nasty guns which will simply tear you apart. Just stay in the nubzone and participate in battles, this way you can get money, even with a non-fully equipped Z1. When I got my Z1 I only got 2 (!) of the worst (!) turrets due to money shortages, but participating in some smaller battles brings it up FAST. Once you have all 5 guns (R group) equipped with the best turret you can get at lvl12 it is a piece of cake. From then on save money (aka invest it into armor, as you get it back 100% from armor, and like this you will take less damage while saving) because at lvl 14 you get twin turrets and tripple torp launchers. \o/

I'm ever so slowly getting the hang of manual aiming. My hit ratios are still quite low, but getting higher ever so slightly. I imagine that they'll far surpass what auto aiming can give you once you get good enough. So switch to manual as soon as you can. You won't hit anything at first, but after a while you'll see marked improvements. My destroyer is the L.S.Yunok, but that's bound to change. Your best bet is looking for my player name. Three guesses what my nick is.
I've yet to be hit by any torps. Pretty easy to see them coming.
Though the one time I tried to use torps, I put dual launchers on my frigate2 (4 torps in one volley) and fired blindy at the enemy.
Our flagship got in the way.
Haven't used torps since.
As to the guy who can't fire all his guns, there are R mounts, and T mounts. If you are usign auto-aim, your T mounts will NOT fire with your R mounts, you must fire them seperately.
And I have it on good authority that autoaim becomes increasingly worthless at higher levels. Once you can fire across several screens, the inaccuracy becomes so glaring that scoring hits depends more on luck than anything else. You haven't seen ownage until you see a cruiser downing you in a single, well-aimed volley. Sure, torpedoes may be powerful, but their range is short. In the end, like it or not (I don't), manual is the way to go.
does anyone have what it takes to start a clan? i think you need a radiomann + at least 20,000 credits per ship in the clan...
i need someone to teach me how to manual aim then. it seems really **** to me. i dont' really care about hit rate, i just bring lots of ammo and spam it lol. i can easily go through 5-600 rounds per battle. as long as you get lots of "attack" points, you get lots of exp and credits

got myself a german Z1 Destroyer today <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> , 5 4inch guns on that bad boy..
Do you know, wich level is the first US carrier? sadly i decidet for a US destroyer with my current captain, but i think i begin again, since i played this game for a carrier ^^ so anyone knows, wich level for carrier?
lol you need level 50 for the first carrier. you're a long way off. and carriers are expensive to maintain with aircraft that can be lost and need to be replaced...
Well, thats weird, because i can decide directly after the neutral DD into the middle tree wich is the US DD and lead to the BS later on, i think, and in an upper and lower tree, wich are not availiable at that level. i thought one of them would be the carrier.
But isn´t it ridiculous, if i have to level a useless captain up to 50 to get him a carrier he can use?

That is,if I can get in the game. It seems to not like me going in. It freezes on the loading screen. But sometimes I get through.

My destroyer is the L.S.Yunok, but that's bound to change. Your best bet is looking for my player name. Three guesses what my nick is.
Guess two: nosound-turretman
Guess three: lolfighter
but i keep getting owned by torpedoes =[

I'm torn between the NSN_Noobcruiser and the NSN_Cheesecaek. I might think of a better name before i'm done updating.
