Hi, ive been struggeling to kill ships on long ranges, and in short ranges, were do i need to shoot to kill?
As a general rule of thumb, aim below the turrets, as this maximises your chances of hitting an ammo rack. Usually the forward turrets, but there are exceptions like Prinz Eugen where aiming for the rear is best
and hwo do i get kill on long ranges?
Depends what you are using and what you are fighting. General rule of thumb is if you cant pen them, either switch to a lighter target or rinse them with what ever shell has the most HE filler to kill crew and start fires.

I don’t have any experience in it but I would say go for CLs and DDs, us the APHE on the CLs and HE on the DDs, USA ones have anti frag armour so you may need to use APHE on them too. Also a lot of USA DDs have a very vulnerable shell room for the aft guns like what @Morvran mentioned, hit those and pop goes the weasel. avoid trading fire with BBs and CBs at all costs and engage CAs as a last resort or in self-defenses only, try APHE, if it doesn’t pen the Barbette (the column the gun sits on) try for the secondary guns, if that doesn’t work just try to burn them with HE.
I found “Ranging Fire” to be very, very effective.
I bound it to control and send shots about 0.5 seconds apart with slight displacement left/right (and slightly adjusting range as well) to cover a greater area intentionally around where tank/boiler room/racks are and increase chances of hitting fuel tank/ammo/boiler room.

Practice. It’s really hard to explain. I’ve been playing naval for a while and I still sometimes struggling hitting things past 11-12km

A lot of that depends on the type of ship too, this is totally empirical, but I’m sure “bigger” ships have a longer range before the accuracy of their range finding falls off, DDs/ CLs have a hard time over 8 to 10km, Yamato, despite her other problems, is fairly accurate until 20km where the range finger decides to move in 1km increments.
what about this radar?
What do you want to kill?

Oh my bad, ships like light cruisers and destroyers
