[NWP] __Helmut_Kohl__ Beta Tester 4,156 posts 18,919 battles Report post #1 Posted October 18, 2017 Seriously, there needs to be an option to deactivate these new big water splashes in Sniper mode. In a DD Fight, you often cannot even see your target (DD). In Tanks this option is standard, because of dirt and other particle effects. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Tyke Players 456 posts 10,463 battles Report post #4 Posted October 18, 2017 I can't say I find them the slightest bit distracting. More eye candy, the better I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[TOXIC] ThePurpleSmurf Players 2,554 posts Report post #5 Posted October 18, 2017 Are you a BB main? Because as DD you often enough wish there would be more splashes, because it makes hitting you much harder for the big ships. I hate these splashes too if I shoot at a DD that runs away with low HP, but I love the same splashes if it's me who has to run away to save my heinie.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. And as others have said earlier, it would be a hack if they would be gone for only a part of the playerbase. And indeed, the more graphical eyecandy, the better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[GW_KR] nooberg Players 227 posts 25,886 battles Report post #10 Posted October 18, 2017 I'm actually holding my fire because of splashes. Can't see the target. Can you tone them down please ? Like not completely remove them just make them abit smaller in the vicinity of the ship, keep them bigger further away. This way we can still have eye candy and can see the target. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrk421 Players 430 posts 4,269 battles Report post #17 Posted October 19, 2017 I also find that I quite often have to delay my fire due to those splashes blocking vision to the target. I wouldn't say it's ruining the game for me, but I sure would classify them as "mildly annoyingTM" Maybe a way to diminish the distraction would be if the size of the splashes scaled with the calibre/weight of the shell that hit the water. So for something like 128mm shell you'd get minor splashes, for 203 mm you'd get slightly bigger splashes and for 406 mm guns you'd get the huge fountains we have right now. 1 hour ago, Freyr_90 said: Don't miss => no splashes Problem solved Except the problem is most pronounced when 2-3 of your teammates are shooting at the same target and they keep missing their shots... Or worse yet, when a KM BB opens up their secondaries on the target effectively creating an impenetrable water screen around the target. Any suggestions on how to make your teammates not miss? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indeed in Scharnhorst all those secondary shell splashes often force to wait few seconds to fire mainguns for seeing which way destroyer is actually going.

[DMOK] Drake847 [DMOK] Players 506 posts 38,443 battles Report post #19 Posted October 19, 2017 The water splash and the smoke is good . It helps the DD even sometimes some Ca. Imho. It is good like it is . But hey how about a "I win as soon i enter the match" mode for all those People that Need it for thier Ego. What is more anyoing is the firebloom when you zoom at a close range target . But not for aiming at him .More the flash in the eye hurts a bit . Hell i would like to even see the turrets blow away in pieces when you destroy them . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_DeathWing_ Alpha Tester, Players, In AlfaTesters 2,625 posts 9,867 battles Report post #22 Posted October 19, 2017 Yeah, I have a problem with this new graphic improvements of water splash + fire, smoke (by fire not a DD smoke) and explosions. Sometimes can't see a damn ship cuz of these. Have to wait for 1-2 sec to aim it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And what are u doing here then? Moaning about his supposed moaning which he didnt even do! He stated a request with a fact, thats not moaning in my book. as for the topic, yes they are very annoying. The worst as someone else mentioned are secondary shots from german BBs. The splashes shouldnt be for those. Then i think most ppl could live with that. Its very hard if u have to go into a knifefight against a DD and half your team shoots from far away and u cant see him properly or even at all! Ive had numerous incidents like that already. And in those close situations second can matter if he manage to launches his torps... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't even count how many times I needed to wait like 5 secs because too many people were shooting at the same target and there were too many splashes to even see a BB.
