To give a short answer in place of Zel, here's a quick rundown:

1. You showed a lack of basic understanding of Artillery Spotting, which is an essential part of general ship combat and essential for many large ships capable of carrying Seaplane Scouts (from light CL such as the Kuma-class up to large BB, including the Yamato-class). It is also one of the first things covered by the Combat page.

2. You show a lack of understanding of general ship equipment and purpose. You consistently showed that you do not understand the limitations of equipment on ship behavior, such as using Main Guns alongside Secondary Guns without Seaplane or any essential combat gears. Also, the use of full ASW gear on a map with barely any Submarine presence means you either do not understand the purpose of your mission in each map.

3. You show a low acceptance of criticism by insisting that people are "trolling" you by saying your ship loadout is flawed, even despite them pointing out why. You also chose to "hide" your "mistake" by not showing how badly you were doing. That is why many people believe you are a "lost cause" because you chose to ignore not just the harmful trolling, but even the helpful advice that is laced with criticism.

4. In spite of having a high-level DD (which is very hard to pull off, frankly speaking, without generous grinding), you seem to be lacking in even basic combat gear needed to outfit your shipgirls (35.6cm guns for your FBB, upgraded 12.7cm Twin Gun Mounts for your DD, enough 20.3cm Twin Gun Mounts for your CA). However, you make-do with secondary batteries which is more than detrimental to your shipgirl behavior in combat.

All of this should be second nature to you after a little more than a month of playing. I was able to grasp all of that after playing Kancolle for ONE WEEK. (Well, anecdotal evidence is anecdotal. It doesn't mean much aside from a case study.)

You should be more open-minded when people criticize you for messing up and take it with a grain of salt. In every spiteful remark, there's always a gem you can glean, even if it seems trivial to you now.

Good luck, Admiral. Don't be Kuso.
