The issue with that take is, why wouldn’t that also apply to tanks? You’re the tank commander, not the crew of five. Why should you have to do anything with aiming THAT main gun? Just tell the AI which tank on the other side to do it and let them figure it out. It can’t just be “number of people whose collective actions we’re representing is larger”.

SO! I actually have an issue with the visibility mechanic in ground battles (specifically in Ground Realistic) in that that we only have 2 eyes, but IRL, tanks have 4 to 12+ eyes that would be looking around 😂
But I do agree that full automation would make for a very boring game. Naval and Ground battles. Except for the new Naval AB aiming system, I think it is good and more realistic. But but, if too many Naval players really don’t like it, I would be fine with the aiming being reverted back.

Ok do tanks now, bro.

I’m going against the grain by saying I don’t mind the new aiming system
It vastly increases lethality of shooting, which certainly shortens games and makes life really tough for small ships engaged by larger ones - the various 5.0 cruisers can eat Moffetts now.
In BB’s secondary batteries can hit more often when shooting is bound to the main guns - again this is really bad for cruisers and smaller getting hit much more often by those guns.
All in all - the game is changed f’sure - it is faster due increased lethality, and we all have to learn to live (sic) with that and change gameplay to suit - but that won’t take long
There seem to also be a lot more people in the lobby at high BR’s - only waiting a minute or 2 for a game instead of often over 5, and along with that comes fewer bots than previously.

Yes, same here
Majority ain’t sitting on the forums whining, they play the game, and now i see much more players in battles than before patch - so new mechanic works.
BTW I am the one who asked for it year ago. Переделать систему прицеливания во флоте на подобную WT Mobile - Корзина - War Thunder — официальный форум votes was 36% to 64% and i’m actually surprised that they done it.(btw you need to know that on RU forum there is a big NRB community and very small NAB so votes were kinda biased )

Yeah I don’t think it’s fair to say any of this stuff. A lot of people don’t come to the forums because they’re either banned or expect to be banned. I can’t even comprehend how you could make the suggestion for AI guns. I loved naval so much. I was playing every day. I would hurry up another event, so that I could play more naval. Now I don’t want to play at all. I want to quit the entire game actually.

Hate to say I told you so, but yeah, they want AB and RB to have very different experiences clearly. Feature-not-a-bug.

naval battles, I think they are my favorite! or were! that now I don’t have to do anything… just put the “Sight” on the ship (even if I can’t see it) without having to adjust direction, distance or anything… because the computer does it for me, and I just have to “click to fire”… it took ALL the fun out of naval battles. even with the “green” sight we had to be the ones to aim at the right distance… now… we don’t have to do anything… we can hit a “speedboat” from several kilometers away, without even seeing it… and the same happens to us… the ship hasn’t even left behind an island… and it’s already been destroyed by some ship with large ammunition, and without much need to “aim”:… it’s annoying!

and, please can devs stop the -Auto zoom out- after a target its killed?
If I need it, let me turn it on. I know how to press the zoom in/zoom out button.
Also, whats next, gaijin? You will be happy having only AI bots shooting at other AI bots?

Yes, but also no. They didn’t even address that issue that it IS a bug, my report was not about the new aiming system. It was for the broken RB Aiming option in the menu. So, while you might be “right”, it was not because they understood and replied appropriately. It is simply the lack of proper handling of the bug reporting site.

+1 - good point!

I agree that it could be interesting… if we are “driving”, or aiming the “main gun”, if necessary, another gunner, could be automatically “defending” us from some plane or other vehicle somewhere else… instead of just being “sitting in the tank painting his nails, or watching babes on instagram” :D

Since yesterday I played just one match only. Have a bunch of boosters that will expire today and have no desire to play at all. I used Moffett for my SL boosters, but given about 80%+ are 0.7-1.0 uptiers, there is no point of playing it now.
As it is now, the game reminds me of a combination of Fruit Ninja and Splatoon. Just senseless holding or spamming the fire button while pointing the mouse at some blurry blob in the distance. All the skill is taken away. The winner is the one having a fast firing cruiser or one with fast firing Japanese battleships.
I liked the aim they had 5 years ago. I got good at it (many people didn’t like it) and was able to come out on top even against 3 enemy destroyers at the same time. Even since then the aiming system got changed numerous times and every time we had to relearn (and unlearn) everything. The last aiming system was so nerfed and screwed up, that gaijin had to finally scrape the whole thing. I saw it being nerfed more and more while doing less and less damage to the enemy. The aiming director was always drunk and would change your good aim to suddenly overshoot or undershoot. Main guns would shoot short while secondaries would overshoot. The aim was very rubbery and involved a lot of RNG and certain shells had cotton ball syndrome. It was very annoying the last couple of months. Notice people had much less income (deliberate income nerf), less kills and less and less fun. The match maker was so bad that way too many matches were 20:80 or 10:90. How about the late infusing of additional players and drastically tipping the scale of the match in the other direction? Constant uptiers and losing streaks. You come to a point that you ask yourself a question why to even bother with this game… and now this new aiming fiasco.
I don’t see anyone mention it, but now the new shell trajectory just means shooting at the moon and shells raining straight down from the sky. They nerfed shell visibility a while back, but now it’s almost impossible to see that you are being shot at and who is doing the shooting. It’s just a bunch of shells pointing at the sky, so it’s hard to predict (surprise, mofo!). Any skill was taken out, just splat-splat now until you run out of ammo.
When I thought things could not get any worse with Naval, gaijin always finds a way to disappoint me further.

What skill is it you are no longer using?
It’s amazing how I always receive stuff like this but I’m only ever the one that gets banned.

Intelligence, Perception ?
very little point in doing either
or
can you cite an example where they completely rolled back one of their insane changes for naval ?

we would remain patient if any feedback to our concerns and critics would arrrive here - but there was nothing at all from GJ staff (in opposite to really minor issues as “turret baskets”)

and due to de-compression… they did the opposite! Why not putting Scharnhorst to 8.0, increasing also the BR of some other ships and adjust the BR of planes different to ground (as yet possible)?
