Eh, it could be worse. BB drivers normally tend to avoid shooting at small ships at long range since they're so small and hard to hit compared to other BBs.

Repairs and ammo reloads are free for FF to CL. Once you get to CA, then you start paying.

The money/point counter is in the bottom right corner of your screen, two numbers that say CREDIT and POINT.

XP and account level are fairly ambiguous, most players use account level to refer to the level of the highest level BO that you own, since that's what determines which ships you can command; in general if you have more than one BO then they refer to them separately, but for most players that only have one BO, that's the one to look at.

You can see how much XP your BO has by holding your mouse over it. There's also a table for how much XP is needed in order to level up at each level at www.trainworld.us.

Which sucks in my Hipper because half the time you lose which means you have to pay more to rep your ship then what you get in the battle.

Doesn't help I can't hit anything.

Starting to wish I'd gone with a nation a bit closer range.

One way to get credits at lower levels is by using AA, since that gives you bonus credits whenever you shoot down planes. Hell, doing that in an Emden practically guarantees free money, and is fun to boot.

And trust me, range is a lot more valuable than you think. For being touted as the "balanced" nation, USN has pretty much the shortest ranged ships in the game, and I've had to deal with that for 89 levels, that's why I started a KM line...

If accuracy is an issue, you can buy store items to improve the performance of your gunners. The items themselves are fairly cheap (2 bucks apiece) and can really help at low levels.
