World of Warships - New WoWs Community Forum: DevStrike! (Review by FlimsyLunchTray)

[HogHammer]

As much as we (DevSrike!) may want to toot our own horn, it's even better when others notice and do the same for us.  @FlimsyLunchTrayput together a really great video based on our forum, DevStrike.net, with some excellent background information, navigation of site features, and general thoughts.  It's a long video, but to be fair, it covers a timeframe from the old WG forum closure to where we are today.

FLT has some fantastic YouTube videos for new, intermediate, and advanced players that you should really check out.  We have dedicated sections here on the forum for World of Warships players who are new to the game, with over 62 videos covering all aspects new players will encounter, an intermediate series with 34 videos touching on various topics, and a new veteran player series.

Yeah I couldn't get into the office cos the lobby was cordoned off for the film crew 😉

Thanks so much @FlimsyLunchTray for covering us. I do hope this helps others find sanctuary here. It can be said, for the WoWs community, there's no place like DevStrike!

Yes that would be correct, morning Norwegian time at least 😉

"Takk".  🙂 
 

Spoiler

Edited to add:  "Takk" was one of the few bits of Norweigian language that I remember from my two Cold-Weather-Training deployments in Norway, during the late 1980's.

Will all these videos be posted & referenced somewhere else here in Devstrike? Your post, HogHammer, has reams & reams of video links.

I know I can benefit from a great many of these & should be viewing a lot of them. 😊 An excellent reference, btw (+1,000 for you both) 😄

I watched the video, well done FlimsyLunchTray and thanks for giving this community a shout out!

In the video, @FlimsyLunchTray mentioned something about the "Gallery".

He says, "only go there if you are brave enough." 

I went to the Gallery and what the... ?

😄

That section may need additional or updated content, eh?  😄

@FlimsyLunchTray Cheers, awesome!

Some of @FlimsyLunchTray videos are posted/linked here on the forum that pertains to certain categories.  I assume the "reams and reams" you are referring to are the actual number of videos on his YouTube channel (over 900 videos).  Not being very knowledgeable about how one can categorize videos on YouTube, other than using the search feature, latest, popular, or oldest prompts, I cannot give an educated guess beyond that.

Here on the forum, we have three sections of his videos listed sequentially: Guides for New and Intermediate players and a new series he recently started the "Veteran" series. These are all located in the Reference Section under Guides. Due to the number of videos, we have broken them down into ten videos per section within a given topic for ease of use.

FlimsyLunchTray's World of Warships - New Player Guide Series - Guides - DevStrike! - a WoWs Community Forum

FlimsyLunchTray's World of Warships - Intermediate Guide Series - Guides - DevStrike! - a WoWs Community Forum

FlimsyLunchTray's World of Warships - Veteran Player Guide Series (A New Addition to Series) - Guides - DevStrike! - a WoWs Community Forum

I will add, for a new to the game player, his videos are a great extension of what WG starts (a very brief overview) of the basics, and he expands on them extensively.

I will have to plead complete ignorance as to "why?"

Been busy for a few days and now getting caught up with the Forum: I am reading through the comments now and I think an explanation is needed 😂

Post Edit: I am happy and amused, someone did actually go and look it up from hearing it on my video 😂 Now I no longer shall suffer alone 🤣

Therapist: What bothers you this week?

FLT: 😵🫨🫣😵‍💫

@Schnitchelkid01_ & @HogHammer In terms of searching for videos on mine or anyone's YouTube Channel. You can go to their "Home" Tab on their YouTube Channel and then to the right you will see a Search Bar right next to the Community Tab. Just type whatever you want to search for to see if said Content Creator has said video on what your interested in or have heard of 😄

Example Search: Kitakaze then you will see two videos on Kitakaze appear on the top in results on my YouTube Channel. Or searching for the New Player Guide, Intermediate Player Guide or Veteran Player Guide o7

Best Regards,
FLT
