To be quite frank, I'm appaluled people even want to use this. As a Beta Tester this isnt what I signed up to test... its not apart of the vanilla install therefore not apart of the game (even if this mod exploits code that is commented out, bringing it back into the game) and I don't want any part of it. I'm a games artist as a day job and I'm shocked this hasn't been taken out and banned. People using this mod are only finding it fun because they are consistently getting hits and sinking people whilst others not using it are waiting to get their range before they score hits. Would these people find it so fun that the moment they get spotted everyone owns them in the first 30 seconds they are spotted? No I don't think so. People are saying that not closing the distance by dodging at 20km distance is silly but I don't want a frantic dodge happy game play for the first 5 mins of game play regardless of RNG.
I watch mighty jingles and quicky baby regularly as they play games that I am interested in. Watching them play you can just see guessing the ranging of the shot is important and they regularly miss. This is what happens when I play WoW. This mod is a game breaker for destroyer as they will no longer be able to use their agility in close quarters to evade fire. Point and click... is this like what real life would be like for these WW2 Ships... no. This makes me sad if this is where the game is headed as I have really enjoyed the excitement of leading my targets and getting close to my screen to see I my guess was correct. I thoroughly hope this is stricken from the game. People would not be using this is it didn't give some kind of advantage over others. I severely hope WG realises this before it destroys the community it has built over this debate.
I for one will probably not continue to support WoW if this ends up in the final release and go back to my usual games. Other games will be putting in a ship segment to their games soon enough that I will just have to look forward to if this ends up going south.
