I was so pissed, I logged in for the first time I can remember and got hella active. It’s bonkers how broken this is.

You know what else?
AI is stealing tons of kills now and even getting First Strike often.
This is such a joke.

Did they also removed the ability to assign targets to your guns in AB?
I had an B25 kamikazing me and my stupid A/A were engaging a stupid bot at 4klm!!!
Why??

Yes of course.
If you want to screw a gamemode you must do it well 😂
Totally agree the NAB is now completely ruined with the new whacked out aiming system.
Haven’t really played naval since I tried a few times and I hate it. Have another friend that only plays naval. He now doesn’t play at all since the aiming changed.
Gaijin need to change the aiming system back to the way it was. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it 👍🏻

I’m mixed on the aiming changes. The old system still had a distinction between AB and RB aiming, with AB helping you compensate for range and lead, but the player still had to do some work to manually “dial in” as it wasn’t perfectly accurate.
RB only calculated lead and range had to be manually compensated by the player IIRC.
AFAIK this new system mostly does all the compensating for you in AB, making it effectively “point n’ shoot” in arcade.
I’m not OPPOSED to the new system but I thought the old one required a little bit more “skill expression”. I know arcade is supposed to be the more relaxed, casual, laid back mode, but I thought the old arcade aiming was good for what it was. Easier then naval RB aiming, but not completely, 100% automated.
EDIT: Unrelated to naval AB aiming but I’m also not a fan of the change done a while back where a destroyed bridge doesn’t lock up your controls anymore, either. Yes stuns are annoying in video games but at least in realistic mode it made sense that if your bridge got blown out, you couldn’t give orders for a while because everyone in the control room is dead.

I think NAB is less relaxed an faster paced which I like. NRB is slower and more thinking is required but I play NAB as I like a faster pace.

He is not Kweedko, he is a random Joe spawning in a French Leopard in a BR 2,7~3,7 game
He then just sails for 2,4klm ->red arrow and casualy wins the match by annihilating everything whithin the blue square.

I’m much less upset about the naval aiming (save for how ridiculously easy it is now to get ammoracked by experienced players) than the changes to the AI anti-air accuracy. It was pretty annoying already before, with the AI engaging their main calibre guns on air targets at ridiculous distances, but it was usually possible to do at least one successful bombing run before dying. Now I consistently die up to 5km away from the ships without ever getting to do anything, often dying to the first hit.
Due to the huge buff to AAA and secondary battery accuracy vs naval targets boats are also basically unable to engage anything stronger than reserve DDs with next to no AI gunners. They went from uselessly spraying all over the screen to center mass aimbot mode in one go.
It is also a major tactical loss that we can no longer give priority targets to our weapon groups, leaving only the targeting toggle as a tool for prioritising.
I don’t think Naval AB is quite unplayable, and the new aiming definitely helps lower fire rate weapons to be more competitive (which I welcome, especially for low rank boats), but all in all it feels quite egregious, especially the AI gunners.

So you are one who spawned right respawn instead of left in uptier match and wondering why you get killed on sight?.
So you are the one who crashed to the beach and not using smokes and went forward in to killzone fo Aras to feed(which one is more killable now with new HE mechanic) instead of going behind the cover? Sure it’s aiming fault not yours.
Suggestion is a suggestion if you vote a lot it passed to devs to concern, poll in random tread is just a poll you may pray that devs read it but not rely upon it.
Post where it may be listened in suggestions, and patch feed back treads. Here is just a chit chat.
I love your attention to details and how you pick what to answer so it will support your narative!!!
Blue is your own team so we won but it seems everyone else din’t had our strategic mind.
By the way, was this happening before your adored change with aiming?
Don’t answer, NO it wasn’t.
Nop, I am the one who
1.spawn with Flank Speed
2.moving towards a beach
3.imposible to maneuver
4.immediately under fire from oposite spawn!!
I am not at your level man, I haven’t unlocked the crew ability to phase throught the island.
cheers

Yes it was i always kill those easy targets, and those who play dumb. Before patch, after no matter.
They took your turn? They took your smokes? They took your guns to fire the Arras guns?
When they wanted to implement changes for tanks thay had a survey so everyone could vote.
On this case they just made the changes and dare to say just ghosted us.

Yes you don’t have time to turn.
They can shoot throught smokes and you know it, don’t pretent you don’t!
What can disable the Arras in the 5~7sec I had?

Not with laser guided accuracy,.
You were just exploiting a bad map design, it was bad before but now it is complety broken.
I guess with your skill you would farm 20+ kills?
Yea that is fun, for you!
