[I-B-S] The_Angry_Admiral Players 1,173 posts Report post #1 Posted December 23, 2021 I can take any of my DD out in the open water and turns circles no problem but I've had ships actually slow down and even stop turning when a salvo is coming. Is there some kind of RNG that if the enemy is supposed to you according to the numbers it can cause you to stop or slow your turning? It just seems that sometimes the ship just suddenly gets very sluggish when a salvo is coming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[-0_0-] JoeSparkx Beta Tester 235 posts 5,492 battles Report post #2 Posted December 23, 2021 Yes, its called the Stage Fright mechanic, ship crews suddenly freeze in the face of incoming fire at random moments. It more often happens to people who push as a way to stop people rushing in and stay on the borders and snipe. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[XTREM] Miragetank90 Players 2,626 posts 18,702 battles Report post #4 Posted December 23, 2021 Uh-huh.... A ship doesn't change speed or heading unless you input the command or your engine gets damaged. You might have the collision avoidance system enabled.

Ugh, I have that crap turned off cus it was screwing with my ramming maneuvers. Many a time I've gotten a question mark in chat for missing a ram on a stationary target just cus he happened to have an island behind him and my ship decided to NOPE to the side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[G-O-M] Aethervoxx Players 2,597 posts 13,191 battles Report post #9 Posted December 24, 2021 Yes. A carefully aimed volley along with a favourable WG targeting result will 'stop your ship from getting out of the way'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway no I have seen my ship come to a dead stop right before it's hit as I'm turning. This has happened several times in World of Tanks and I was just wondering if it was just an RNG thing. I haven't really played World of Tanks so I can't speak for that. I have close to 25k battles in World of Ships and I never had my ship come to a full stop when turning / being shot at. Though i'd give you benefit of doubt. You're sure you just didn't run into an allied ship(wreck) or island ? If you didn't run into any of these, I think it could be one of the following : - pressing "S" instead of A/D (some players mentioned "fat-fingering the keyboard", this is it) - hitting one of those underwater "sandbanks" where your ship beaches without hitting an island (give me some time to find a clip) :edit: this clip from Flamu shows what i meant with the second point Spoiler 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How dare you dispute with what he says, he did his own research instead of listening to people with the authority to talk about these things.
