How To Play Baltimore Wows |
Finding Your Inner Firepower
The Baltimore boasts some seriously impressive 8-inch guns, perfect for turning enemy cruisers into confetti (sorry, confetti enthusiasts). But here's the thing: you gotta aim, champ. This ain't exactly cowboys and spaceships – leading your targets and understanding shell arcs is key.
QuickTip: Read line by line if it’s complex.
Pro Tip: Don't be that guy who fires wildly and hopes for the best. You'll be the laughingstock of the seas (and probably contribute to a few friendly fires).
Don't Be a Sitting Duck (Unless You're Made of Steel)
While the Baltimore is a tough cookie, it's not invincible. Maneuvering is your best friend. Learn to use islands for cover, weave between enemy fire, and don't be afraid to strategically retreat if things get dicey. Remember, a sunk Baltimore is a Baltimore that can't rain fire down on unsuspecting foes.
Surveillance Radar: Your New Party Trick
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
This is where the Baltimore gets extra exciting. The Baltimore has access to Surveillance Radar, a fancy gadget that lets you see enemy destroyers hiding in smoke (those sneaky devils!). Use this strategically to flush them out and protect your team. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Don't be that guy who spams radar like a disco ball – use it wisely!
