Remeber that the AIM of your guns is infulenced by the height of your ship.
FF are low to the water, and thusly can aim up to 5 degrees at pointblank and still hit with a broadside.
When you switch to a DD, you are slightly higher in the water. This means you (usually) have to either shoot straight or drop your shots on the enemy just slightly. If you are going to pointblank another DD, you will need 4 degrees or less. If you are really close to an FF, you may need to fire at 3 degrees to hit. This little size descrepency is what causes many people trouble while aiming.
Also, think before you upgrade. A bigger ship has bigger guns and more DP, but is also a much bigger target and is slower, making it vunurable to being torpedoed. I currently use a DD.01 mod 3 with a heavy engine. This gives me a weak(er) hull, but also means I have a superior turning radius and redline speed, which allows me to flee from bad encounters and pick my shots aginst the targets which are most vulnurable to me.
Remeber, you will be most accurate close up so if you have the capability, pick a vunurable target and broadside the heck out of him. Just remeber that doing this to ships vastly superior then yours will get you killed unless you are smart enough to run away after you do 1-2K DP.
If you are a good shot (and your enemy is not) a good tactic to use is side-switching. Note that you need a superior turning radius and REDLINE SPEED to do this. To start, make sure you are slightly behind the enemy - your bow should be about to the midpoint of his hull - and very close to him (1-2 degree hit range). Fire a shot or two, and the moment he fires (and probally hits you like a mother) make a sharp turn left, redline, then come along to the other side of his ship while simulatiously rotating your turrets with q and e. with luck, by the time he figures out what you just did, you will be next to him, at 2 degree range, with all four turrets squarely on his hull. Enjoy the free damage!
You should probally upgrade your lower hull armor and bulkhead first. Most people do NOT use arc shots very well, so until people start pulling airplanes out of their pockets, deck armour is probally not needed. Bulge armour can be vital at higher levels because people start shooting spreads of low-time torpedos at you and you'll need the bulge armor so you don't die instantly. However, in low level combat, everyone will generally rely on close range HE broadsides, which you should armour aginst. What about bulkhead? besides increasing your defense aginst all attacks, it makes your guns reload a bit faster and makes your entire ship a little more effective overall.
Make sure you buy everything else and you have 100% sailors before you put on armour.
Torpedos have an "arming range" this is a moderate distance for the first torps you get, but drops sharply with the more advanced ones. If you hit a ship with a torp before it arms, you can tell because the torp will go "THUD" and do no damage. When you properly hit a ship with a torp, there will be a massive explosion, created both by the torp and possibly the ship you just sank as well. If you are using n00b torps, you'll need to remeber the arming distance - try checking it out in a training mission.
HE. AAA ammo is antiair shells, which do not damage ships at all. Since low level ships do not use aircraft, you do not need AAA shells in your B brace until people start getting aircraft ships. There are even rumors of a shell that, instead of causing damage, creates a beautiful fireworks display, but this has been discounted as "someone drinking too much on shore leave".
i heard AP rounds do more damage at close range :/ ... so i stuck some in my B slot and use em when im in close and broadsiding with all guns.. duno if they do much more damage though...

The game becomes a lot easier after you get your Destroyer. I've been doing quite well today, but I keep running out of shells. D: I managed to single-handedly destroy two enemy Destroyers on 50% armour earlier, leaving only two frigates left. Got them both to about a third of their health, then I ran out of shells. Very annoying.
Happened again two games later, was having a close fight against the remaining enemy which was their flagship. Ran out of ammo again and got whipped before my teammates could come and help out.
Is it worth keeping your "reserve" sailors at full-strength? They're sucking up the space which could be used for ammo.
BTW. don't stick to nooblands too long.. because the exp there is capped at 200-250 exp per battle. If you fight in the big boy battles you'll get MUCH more exp.... 600-1200 exp, if you do well. You just need to survive. My personal strategy as japanese is to stay in the back and occasionally go in the front to launch some TORPEDOES. They are very EFFECTIVE, unlike your noobie guns, against higher level players. Practising and hitting with torpedoes is tricky, but it is a lot EASIER to learn then firing cannons.
I love japs.
BTW: I REALLY want to make an NS NF clan, but it is VERY expensive (but not if everyone will contribute).
The requirements for creating a clan is as followed(from the manual) :
There are 2 types of clans, 'squadrons' (for smaller clans) and 'fleet' (for larger clans). A 'clan-tag' will be shown if you are a member of a fleet.
#1 : You need a radio officer, a lvl 26 upgrade for a radio man. (I currently got a radio man lvl 14 and i'll keep leveling him up, so I'll supply a radio officer.) #2 : You need to pay 200.000 credits for a squadrons, and 1.000.000 for a fleet. The player forming the clan must have the required credits. (low level players can't trade) #3 : You need players to form a squadron and a fleet, but a minimum of 30 players for a fleet.

Rah that sounds good. I dont have a radio man yet, but im leveling up a guy so i can have one after obst told me to. He's level 5 at the moment and my crew is level 16. I dont have much money either but it is going up slowly. I found the best way for me was to go into no torp battles because i dont have any torp launchers atm. I have 5x 4.1 dual barrel. The biggest problem i have found is that if you have guns on torp mounts you cant fire them with your main guns. I would so love 7 guns.
You don't need to level your radio man, I will be doing it if there really is a clan coming up. I have a level 15 radio man, thats easier to level. You only need 1 radio officer to create a clan.
But yeah just a lvl 6 radioman is enough with friends list I think.
I got 5x 4.1" duals as well, and the 2 others positions are taken by some small guns I use for AA support, which is occasionally needed.

what pieces of armor should i upgread?
how come sometimes my torpedos hit but do little to no damage?
which is better ammo? HE heavy or AAA?
Torps need time to arm to prevent them exploding when they hit the water. They need 2-3 seconds to arm.
Ammo no idea. But i think AAA is antiaircraft so HE is probably best.
AAA is anti aircraft ammo.
Make sure you buy everything else and you have 100% sailors before you put on armour.
Torpedos have an "arming range" this is a moderate distance for the first torps you get, but drops sharply with the more advanced ones.

But yeah just a lvl 6 radioman is enough with friends list I think.
btw no-torp-games FTW, so much more fun <!--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-->
Also, better to have 4 dual guns and no torps, or 4 single guns and a triple torp launcher?
That depends on how you like to play. If you want to have a backup for emergencies/ammo conservation on easy kills, get a torp launcher. Could you get two duals, two singles and a triple torp? Or a double torp?
Is there some way to:
1.Quickly change angle of the cannons to the other side of the ship
2.Make your ship simply turn as opposed to try to go to a waypoint
3.Show the angle-o-metars at 2x the standard size
