Is anyone else getting really high camera shake even though they have the setting set to 0? It’s incredibly disorienting for naval. Also, I have the same issues with salvos going way off target for no reason.

And yet it still better and entertaining than aim at green snot in the middle of the sea, when your target 2 screens out of it.

They have really screwed up Naval BAD… Aiming is horrible. Hopefully this was a big that was introduced.

usual question
" is the game more enjoyable after the update than before " ? … imo … NO
" has the game improved since the beta " ? … imo …not really

The guns aim for you.
Naval arcade finally has a reason for me to play it over realistic.
Arcade should be easier than realistic, and this new aiming system fixes my one issue I had with arcade.

your issue is a skill one clearly

Considering I played exclusively realistic naval for the last 5 years, I’d say my skill is fine.
Arcade is SUPPOSED to be easier than RB. Being more difficult doesn’t make sense.

Somehow I don’t think the change was meant to encourage RB players to switch to AB.
Is this some kind of unique logical processing that only belongs to personality types that would use an animated animal portrait in a WW2 game?
How does it make any sense at all for Gaijin to be worried about having too many RB players?
That should be the goal, shouldn’t it? To inspire people to play RB and in the case of other modes, SB?

The change was to make arcade a compelling option over realistic, and it worked.
I already enjoy coastal like I did in 2018.

honestly, if they toned down accuracy against planes and player ship AI gunners than it wouldn’t be that bad
the only good thing about this is how easy it is to get kills in naval now lol, time to pop a shitton of wagers

Ah yes, more compelling by eliminating any form of skill.
Also, I should remind you that GAB and AAB still require lead.
Also, you do realize you can zoom out yah? You don’t have to be at 100% zoom.

Ground RB tells you exactly if your round is going to pen, that’s effectively what this naval system is doing.
Sometimes I just want to have mindless fun, that’s what I choose the arcade modes for.
Air tells me where to aim, ground tells me where to pen, and naval tells me to shoot like I’m in Mad Max.
Yes, it does. It does not do all aiming for you. This new naval system doesn’t tell you where to aim, it aims FOR the player wherever the player points, without the player having to learn leading.

Again, I play realistic battles for leading. I don’t want naval RB’s aiming system in arcade, I want mindless fun when I want it to be mindless.
When I want to stress the neurons I know where to go.
Yes, happens every 1-2 minutes, very obnoxious.

I mean time will tell if this a better system , for me it is not .But hey to each its own .
It’d be nice if the system made aiming easier. But it doesn’t. It just takes away more control from the player and hands it to AI.
Speaking of AI, the AI anti-aircraft gunners got what seems to be an enormous buff, able to start firing accurately at aircraft at seemingly their full range instead of just at 3-4 km, what’s up with that? Aircraft seem to have no chance at all.
Also… is anyone else’s “assign primary/secondary/tertiary target” commands not working? My controls didn’t change, but the game doesn’t seem to designate a target at all.

Update: they closed my bug report without actually addressing or understanding what my report was about 🤦♂️

Adding to this conversation. I have been a naval arcade player for years. Basically since it came out. I play almost exclusively coastal, which is already a struggle for me, but this update has ruined the game mode entirely. I looked forward to new coastal ships being added on the off chance that it happened, but now I have no reason to touch it. I can no longer hit anything. There is no visual feedback for my shots. I can’t control the guns like I want to. And having the ship do all the aiming (though no aiming is actually taking place lmao) takes all the remaining fun out of it! If the ship is gonna do all the work, then why the hell am I even here? BRING BACK THE OLD AIMING SYSTEM!! Or at least make it an option!!!
