It is called dispersion. Maybe you heard about that.

[chazwozza]

Nothing dispersed all flew where i aimed nothing hit at all it was point blank 6k at a broadside cruiser just seems buggy is all

[LukkaiCH]

I think the artillery bug is still around? I have been having some weird shots every now and then. (One example today: Aiming a bit low on mid-range cruiser and firing forward turrets, correcting my aim to a bit higher for the back turret. Forward shells fly long, backwards turret falls short.) That's not really a point blank thing though.

Vanishing and missing shells are two different things. Maybe you should explain what happend in more detail.

Well hitting the water CAN break the shells in WOWS just as IRL that much is clear from bitter experience, now in point blank ranges that usually shouldnt matter all that much couse they are supposed to hit steel but if some more extreme desync was going on who knows... WOWS has some strange semi-predictive thing going on between server and client that sometimes makes things go haywire

I understand that you have a personal dislike for some players, but don't you feel petty and immature? I blame the modern inability to agree to disagree, anyone with a diverging opinion must be destroyed, cancelled or ridiculed, but I really would like to know why you downvoted the very sensible suggestion if there was a real reason.

it wasn't a water shot per se it was water line so where the hull meets the water just seemed odd. Felt a bit robbed is all

What exactly is the matter of this thread? That "nothing hit at all", despite "all flew where i aimed" or that you just did not get the citadels you expected (seems like you somehow did 6k damage)?

if the target is slightly turned away from you and not absolute perfect broadside and you aim waterline your shells will always fall short as major part of the ship is actually further away from where you aimed. Aiming at waterline in most cases is a mistake. Most times a ship is never perfectly flat broadside despite it looking like it. Therefore you have to aim higher if ships angle is turned away from you and lower if towards you.

 

Then it also makes a difference where you shoot the ship at. if the ship is turned towards you and you aim low at its back part your shells will fall short as the back part of a ship turned towards you is further away from your aim point than it looks like and vise versa.

 

Aiming is more difficult than you expect.

He should explain to me, not ask me what happened.

As the video title says, the shells fell short and therefore did not hit. That is not the same what happened to the OP, if I interpret his posts correctly, but I am not sure, since they are contradicting.

No they are not? Apart from the distance involved, he described precisely the situation in the video. I honestly had no trouble whatsoever following that.

Oh so this is a bug huh 

I have had the falling short thing happen some times. But I thought that it was just my bad aim that somehow make shells miss. When they are aproaching me, aiming at their nose. and yet the shells fall 20m infront of them when they havent stopped going forward.

But he did not. His shells supposedly hit where he aimed. That did not happen in the video.

I recognized this during my games where I was expecting multiple citadels and did no significant damage, so I went searching on YouTube and there is a video about this by Flamu.

 

If you are an experienced player, you know there is RNG. But lately when it happens when you are just so close to the other ship, this miss being too extreme, and it happens too often.

try something different, don't look at the shells, look where are water splashes, makes no sense, like CV is not there at all.

You've got to learn to read context, Pete. Not just every word or sentence for themselves.

I read his text. I specifically mentioned dispersion and he denied that.

[ARE_YOU_HUMAN]

Why are you guys feeding this Pete guy again? Is there even a point arguing with him?
