Dropped a couple post update. Games still feel soulless. Not sure if anyone is actually playing because lobby is quiet AF. A few one and dones suggest bots. And you still can’t control your aim like you use to.
It’s all about Blue waters. Coastals are fahked.
For god’s sake. PLease add the old UI that lets us know where the turret is pointing.
You can target players/bots better now. Haven’t found myself shooting into the water. So, they unbroke that.
Matches are mostly empty though. You still don’t really know what your guns are doing or HOW to correct aim when it goes AWOL.
We need an aiming system that is consistent and intuitive. As soon as you’re not targeting someone, who knows what you’re doing. While you’re shooting someone, you have no idea how guns are responding to the movement of your ship in water, or your maneuvers. You have no way to anticipate the gunner’s needs. All you can do is target the ship, and leave it to the AI to hit the target. You can’t adjust elevation if its shooting under. You can’t effectively lead the target if you know they’re going to evade erratically.
This is an overall DOWNGRADE of the game.
I’ll keep watching but, after 12 years, I guess I can be thankful that Gaijin is giving me a reason not to play this everyday, and to give my wallet a rest.
Reposting this here because it needs to be in every thread:
The recent community update in no way acknowledged our protests. I posted asking why, was ignored, and instead someone else asking about naval events got a reply. I’ve since replied at the moderator again requesting acknowledgement from gaijin, and others here should as well. Continue the discontent, continue to not play NAB, continue to reject this change.
Another issue is you are penalized for spawning at the start, 1st spawners get targeted by all the bots with perfect aim and you are pounded into scrap in a minute. So it pays to wait 1-3 minutes to spawn so that you will only be targeted by 1 or 2 ships AND enemy ships will already be worn down.
And if you are also a first spawner it is harder to get a kill b/c anything you aim at will be dead before you over come the aim bug.
