I would really really appreciate a vid about aiming when enemy is going towards you in an angle. I struggle with it soo much. Im not sure how to place the crosshair, how much of a distance should I move down or to the side. Youd be my hero for a vid with that topic. Just generally aiming enemies coming in an angle towards you/away from you. And thanks for this vid btw

@@Tomichika i showed a bit here but here are extras. 1st. Don't Worry. Like i said here shooting and finding correct spot takes a lot of time. Sometimes RNG screws you over or enemy just sees shells and dodges. 2nd. Try to picture yourself a circle around enemy. Make the prediction the same way as if he is going flat broadside. Then move around that imaginary circle to the point when it will cross the line enemy is travelling on (you can see it on minimap). Keep in mind that this might still result in bounces and slight changes from the enemy will make more shells miss. I hope this helps at least a bit. I think i can do it a video or at least a short about this. If you want more interactive explenation, i also stream WoWs on twitch where i m always happy to answer questions.

@@sticc2096 Can tell you the problem is how GJ implemented accuracy on ships. Simply put if its an enclosed rangefinder it has 100% accuracy, if not it only has 75%. Thus german destroyers that have mostly open rangefinders and only HE they have far more dispersion and lack of damage compared to any other nation as other nations atleast get AP or SAP shells not to mention autoloaders or spall liners. As such in german destroyers your effective combat range is below 4km.

@xwrn3 ай бұрын
To aim long range shots, I like to keep aware of the travel time of the shells, not the range. It's next to your aim point. Then I can use that info to lead. I start with 1s = 1 point on the dynamic crosshair, then adjust for speed (more for destroyers, less for battleships) and direction (less lead if angled). This is particularly useful for battleships where the long reload time precludes walking fire onto the target. Then I have a feel for how to make an 8s shot vs a 12s shot. The nice thing is this works regardless of the ship's shell characteristics. It doesn't matter if you're firing German laser cannons or floaty high angle American shells, the time to target (and thus your lead) has been calculated for you.

i explained that in the basic aiming guide As i said here this video was made as an continuation so i don't repeat myself nor overload with information. You actually described what i said in basic vid here but i also explained how i calculate in head the "extra offset" if you know max speed of the ship and the fact that the crosshair is made for 30kts you can calculate what is %diff between 30kts and the speed of the ship then add that % to the time.

Just to add some info: 1) Nomogram Classic is good mod to have for crosshair. It has two scales, upper is for ships at 30knts, lower is ship with 20knots. One can use them to aim properly (Especially with american ships). 2) Ship movement indicator mod also gives color dots on the ship telling you if they are stationary, moving forward or backward. when shooting kiting ships or angled ships, put crosshair on the upper tip of nose that will land most shells on your target. If they are fast then align your crosshair with the nose but a bit farther from the ship.

On the smoke shooting thing i like to pop spotter and shoot just below where the shells come out of the guns and because of that have made some legendary blind shots from accross the map in vermont when there is a cruiser camping in smoke or behind islands so long as they are not moving around like most should be. Vermont is super good at it cause unusually good dispersion when it's not targeting something and an excellent shell arc
@senpai_silent3 ай бұрын
I think i said the line about shooting below and between where shells come out. I forgot to tell about the spotted plane even tho in all those clips i used that view.... Sniping BBs usually have very good accuracy regardless distance. Try one other thing. Sometimes there might be enemy near the guy in the smoke you want to blindfire. If you lock on him the shells won't disperse even when you fire at the smoked up guy. Keep in mind the shells will want to fall closer to the locked in target tho.

The dynamic reticle will help you predict. Because it shows the travel time of the shell. Left of your reticle there is a timer. it is shell travel time. Bar with numbers it is set for 30kts or something i think, from center to left (or right) anyway Say your ammo travel time is 8 seconds. if ship goes perfect broadside to you, yout shells will hit where the 8th nudge would be. So, you put 8th nudge on target and bam. you hit. But wait, That only works for "normal speed ships" like cruisers. Slower ships like Huge BB needs roughly half lead. so nudge 4. DD fast, so double it. nudge 16. Is not perfect, but will help you get the right feeling!! ofcourse after that comes the prediction of what they will do, slow down, turn etc.

Isit better to rush up to buy ship till tier ten just to get satisfying kill, coz rn im using german IX cruiser, and the i always get low damage, n don’t hit the enemy citadel. So how?
@senpai_silent3 ай бұрын
I would say getting your 1st tier X is very important but no need to rush. As a F2P i recommend finding an enjoyable tier VIII ship to farm money before getting first special ships for coal/steel. German cruisers are very good choice but those are HE based kiting ones (kiting=running away). AP is ok but you can't expect it to citadel many ships with it. Main Damage will come from HE (it is very consistant one). To get a lot of citadels you would need ship with much better pen and/or caliber. BBs can deliver huge punches but are not so consistant. Cruisers like petro or Des Moines have very good AP for citadeling other cruisers and low armor BBs but the punches delivered a bit smaller then the ones from BBs.

Boring as it may, but it is better than having a Malta player but he can't hunt down any ships (especially DD) or a Des Moines captain but he don't know how and when to use his utilities for him and his team mates... a Shimakaze player with 20km torpedo sailing along with his battleships at the back 😂

IJN BBs are the most accurate BBs you will get. Get yourself the tier VI (Fuso) and try it. It should be relativly easy to do since it is only tier VI. Truth of a matter is you will never get a ship that will hit most of its shells. And BBs usually miss majority of the shells. The thing is that the ones that hit have potential of deleting enemy with one salvo. Alternativly you can try getting some BBs later and to soften the learning curve go for Italian or British BBs. Since first ones use SAP ammo that cannot overpen and the second ones use high pen HE as main source of damage. Both can switch to AP if needen. Those BBs however are not as accurate and go for quantity over quality.
