Naval AB aiming bugged ? Something changed

Hello everybody.
I noticed a weird new problem in naval AB battles.
It seems, the autoaim does not longer work for me - i have to somehow lead like we had to lead before the aiming changes.
I didn’t ready anything in recent changelogs.
I didn’t just have that problem in actual pvp battles, but also replicated it in “test sail” mode against NPCs.
I can no longer hit anything, when aiming directly on it even if the ship is even keel.
When i move broadside to a stationary enemy ship and i sail, let’s say 30kmh, i do miss by a huge margin.
I tried activating and then de-activating “RB aim”, but it change anything (as it shouldn’t, because, it was deactivated before).
Any suggestions ?
If it’s the same for everyone, so be it - but i smell a bug ???

Thanks.

Update:
PT-15 in japanese tree aims perfectly fine.
It only occurs on Ikazuchi and Chikugo with their (quickly overheating) 76,2mm cannons.

Same issue here. After the bug was triggered on one fleet, it will bugged on the same fleet for every following gameplay (including test drive). Other fleets are good even if they are in same lineup with the bugged ships. Also the lineups of other contries will remain good.
Restart game won’t help for this issue. And MOST INTERESTLY, I used another computer to play the same bugged ships, and it works well until several games later the bug happened again.
As I remembered, the bug was triggered after I selected faded marker and shooted to the as intended.
I have no idea how this happened. I guess the bug is sth. with settings or aiming data. For me the most easy trigged ships are Pr.206 and Project 56 Spokoinyy.

Charles F Adams and the German one (I’m not looking up the name) also are having aiming issues, but when I go to North Carolina and other BB, there is no problems Maybe it has to do something with nuclear escalation. They recently added CFA to the fleet I think. And they tweaked the AI for those something must’ve happened that ruined the aiming.

“Good” to know, i am not the only one with the issue :D
Where can one post bugs ?
I haven’t seen a section for that on this forum.

there is also a issue with aiming main guns on planes - some vessels do not lead, e.g. german Schütze and some other ships.
And the torpedo bug (one cant launch loaded tubes after time) is still there - but changed weird.

How about the North Daktoa?

I test drive and it seems fine

I have the same issue with the same ships. Having to lead shells with a lot of difficulty in arcade mode to get a hit. I have switched to realistic using the same ships and find its a lot easier and actually more enjoyable gameplay. Only drawback is getting the head space back into realistic mode and the lack of real players, mostly bots unfortunatley.
Not sure if its a bug or an update, would be nice to know if anyone knows.
Anyway, happy gaming.

Akebono is also affected, although the 40mm does seem to track better but is still wonky.

Btw. all guns that were changed for “escalation” when controlled by AI, also not aiming and shooting at naval targets both in RB and AB. So it’s all is the same cause.

I am currently doing fine with it but I heard it apparently better then the USS texas?

Looking at the armor profile of Texas, it’s similar to Wyoming which already makes it better than NoDak.

Trade off is a 40 second reload aced with 35.6cm guns.

The problem with North Dakota will be it limited range and guns barely doing any damage comparing to other ships. It armour is good enough for it BR.

Armor so good an HMS York can somehow turn the magazine yellow at 11 to 13km (no, I don’t know how this is possible. Wish I took a screenshot of it)

I am also encountering this issue with Bismarck.

it upper deck has like 30mm of armour so if you manage to get your shell rain from the top then you can ammorack it. Overall is a decent ship. Sometimes you can do really good in it sometimes not.
