Perhaps a warning to propsective germans

Getting into the german country line of ships is a bad idea unless you are really lucky. It takes around 50k just to get the z1 out of dock, and 60k total if you want to stand a chance in battle. I made the mistake of getting the z1 when I had around 50K, and had to move slowly up (I still only have 2 guns)

Well so you know that is normal for people although the more you have when you get it the better but i also did the same thing as you but as you have only just bought a german ship i am guessing you are a newbe to NF and i should warn you it does take some time to move up levels. and it took me about a week of play during the day as well on the break but if i was you just learn to keep out of trouble and pick your fights carfully. also if you are going to die, die hard and you will always get a little bit of extra credit, and when you die DON'T QUIT stay in the game till it ends and if your team wins you will not only get your cred during the game and the group cred during the game but also group cred after you died and all group cred gets doubled.
