BoxOfAngryBees Players 335 posts 6,690 battles Report post #1 Posted February 21, 2022 Ive been seeing this for the last few patches. The map reticle is spot on, the ui reticle is spot on - and yet, im landing tens of meters too short with the entire salvo. Just now have this happen to me in my cleveland while fighting a DD (because of this, he survived that much longer and was able to let loose a torp salvo and sink a cruiser of ours). In the same game and not one minute later, against a Rahmat (was able to chunk me for a fourth of my health because of this). I mean, its fine if it happens every once in a while, but its been happening more and more often and its getting frustrating to have it happen. 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[I-J-N] Karasu_Browarszky [I-J-N] Players 13,025 posts Report post #5 Posted February 21, 2022 Frankly, I'm having more problems with WG's 'creative' target ship angle discrepancy between what you see in the binocular view and what the angle actually is in reality. As a result, if anything, I tend to overshoot the target a lot. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It certainly doesn't offer much "assistance" as in a positive aspect :D I love especially situations where a cruiser is spamming me (in a BB) but he's showing a bit too much broadside. And backing away from me, lets say range 10-12km. Reasonably short distance for a near static target. Salvo 1: Aimed at the bow plating in order to pen and hopefully go through front citadel armor. Horizontal aim about 1/4 from the waterline. - All shells into the water WAAAY before Salvo 2: Same place, just now at deck height: Most shells into the water Salvo 3: Screw aiming anywhere precise, aim just above deck on the arse of the cruiser and just score ANY sort of structural hits! Feels frustrating. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Taliesn Players 2,238 posts 16,405 battles Report post #10 Posted February 22, 2022 It happened to me a couple of days ago, certainly the first time I went wtf since this was reported. I can't say I've suffered it otherwise. Awful salvoes are generally easily explainable by the ship I'm sailing (yes, I'm looking at you, FdG). If the ship has good accuracy (NCal, Missouri) salvoes pretty much work as intended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BS4] SeaWolf7 Players 1,818 posts 10,056 battles Report post #11 Posted February 22, 2022 Intentional imo. Its another balance addition. (its been going on for too long now) You know like over penning a BB at 13klm with 152 mm rounds in your cruiser. Same thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guestimate the server simply not registering or calculating due to overload, tends to happen when the game is at a pitched point. judging by the server tick rate problem and the problems noted here - it looks like the potato servers at wedgie are in need of a serious upgrade - this wont fix the aimbot problem but its a start at least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axilian_1 Players 322 posts 13,035 battles Report post #14 Posted February 22, 2022 same - truly awful today - literally have to aim above the ship to have a chance to hit it when it's running broadside at at medium range 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has been happening a lot recently for me as well, and it's because the guns arent locking onto the target properly, meaning I have to manually click X to get a lock. This is very annoying to deal with when swapping targets, especially for rapid firing guns with multiple available targets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could say ''bad aim'' or ''Republique dispersion being trash'', but that does not really explain what is happening. The shells falling short is causing the greatest grief here.
