First sailings with the Mahan and Sims, both Captained by a bonehead.

I will start with the tier VII American Destroyer, Mahan, first. This ship represents a major milestone for me in two ways; one, it's the highest tiered ship I have achieved through the normal playing process of the game. And two, it was the end goal I wanted to achieve before I attempted my first sailing in the same tiered premium Destroyer, USS Sims.

MatchMaker was kind and gave me a fairly reasonable lineup for both teams. Sadly, my eagerness to play brought about poor judgment, I passed up obvious avenues for damage and positioning, producing very sub-par results....

 

Sadly, I didn't learn from my first outing.

With my initial battle in the higher tiers a forgone defeat (I left after I was sunk, the battle went very badly for me team after that) I just jumped back into the fray with my prized ship. History repeated itself and I played recklessly, dismissing my inner voice which said "Remember now, these are more experienced plays, pay attention".

Come on, I am in a Sims, the mighty Destroyer that I have been reading about on the World of Warships forums, a premium scourge of the higher tiers! Yeah, I don't what I was thinking when I attempted to ram a tier VI Japanese Battleship, Fuso....

So, throwing caution to the wind, I barreled into two battles without thinking, performing non-contributory actions for my team and myself.

But, give me credit for being honest and taking the responsibility for my actions.
