New to War Thunder Naval? - A guide for new players

If you are new to War Thunder and want to play naval ships, this guide is for you! If you have ever played WoWS I have a few tips, especially for you. I'm sorry this video is quite long; I would rather explain things to you while doing the actions in-game than try to finish it all in 10 minutes. I'm always interested in feedback, good and bad, so please let me know what you think! - Gunship.
