It’s called a cape.
Or maybe you’ve heard of the Battle of Midway or any Japanese island invasion.
@Kweedko Maybe you didn’t know this, but you cannot voice a negative opinion on reddit or you will be downvoted and lose karma and subsequently lose your posting frequency privileges. It’s an unreliable website, and you should not be there.
Sorry-I meant WW1 battleships that are also in naval top-tier right now.
Almost every battleship in game is ww1 with i think 4 exceptions tbh
Yeah…I mistyped.
New Arcade Aiming is the worst. It feels like a point and click game. The aim has no consistancy when the carrot is off a target. There’s no awareness of where your guns are at. The point of realistic for me was faster games with boats that don’t crawl, and an aiming system that trains you to get better at realistic aiming. The current aiming system leaves you completely unprepared. You have NO understanding of how to lead, where your guns are, how weapons operate. It is the WORST at educating the playerbase. It also operates UNLIKE any other mode. My leading in Naval Arcade made me better leading in moving tanks. This is a NET BAD.
Furtermore, this aiming is going to reward HIGH rate of fire ships/boats and further punish the slow and sluggish ones, as the aiming algo will allow people to easily pick those players off.
The ONLY benefit is that it makes it easy to pop campers immediately but… that is extremely short lived as they start evading.
I cannot fathom how anyone thought this was a good idea. It’s like the mouse aiming torps. LESS CONTROL in return for what? Console player appeasement?
I can’t play naval. I can’t play any mode. I have no keybind to lock onto any target, so all my shots won’t go into range. I can’t do anything. If anyone can help me, much appreciated.
They’re catering to boring gameplay. Battleships are slow. Slow to move. Slow to fire. Anything that encourages long range engagement without movement is boring. The original idea to focus on Costal boats was the right one.
When all you do is point and click, you lose interest quickly.
top of the hanger, next to 3 lines, Battles > Tutorial. Motor Boat Control Basics/Destroyer Control Basics. Lock on to targets with middle mouse button, I think that’s default. You need to lock on to a target to aim at it. …or…that’s how it used to be. Who know wth is going on now.
Current arcade aiming is point and click. EVEN when shooting at planes. It is NOT intuitive with ANY OTHER aiming system in the game. Like… WHERE AM I AIMING? I have no idea. I know that when I point at a boat, it does all the calculations but how the heck am I supposed to lead a target? How am I supposed to know how to compensate for THEIR evasion maneuvers WHILE I’m maneuvering? I’m lost. I used to be able to do circles in my destroyer while pelting another one evading. Now… I have no idea where my guns are aiming.
This needs to be reversed. It’s ridiculous. Leave Mobile Aiming to Mobile games. This is a dumbing down of the game that seems self-sabotaging.
yes but some are in the ww2 refit-version (mostly US) with good aa - and others from the inter-war period
Mostly japan, but only by 1 ship, alaska is a wartime build and colorado is interwar i believe
This is the keybind for selecting/locking targets. In all modes:
VERY much agree with this advice ☝️
Here is the setting for that (This one is in OPTIONS, rather than Controls):
yes and additionally I would suggest to disable “auto-lock” so the manually locked target stays locked.
I honestly thought that’s a bug. Well, no more arcade for me it seems…

So I tried, but it wouldn’t work. Apparently the mouse I bought, when hitting the wheel button, has something called smooth scroll or something. I feel defeated.
Out of curiosity… since it seems the overwhelming majority of people who played Naval AB think this new system is basically the worst… has anyone seen/read/heard anything from gaijin in response to our outcries anywhere on any medium?
Not a peep. Closest is this video they published where they “explain” the AB & RB aiming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbs5eeXaxUw not that it’s helpful or welcome, or addresses any of our concerns at all.
Of course, if such a change as big and detrimental as this was made to air or ground RB, there’d be riots and Gaijin would be forced to respond. Fortunately for them, the AB community isn’t vocal and the Naval community is the smallest. That makes us Naval Arcade players the quietest of the smallest fraction of the playerbase. We can see here Gaijin can safely and easily ignore us, they don’t care.
I guess that’s the Launch video for Naval’s Official Release from Early Access phase. Or did we enter Beta with this
You can almost certainly disable that feature, either with the company’s software and/or 3rd party software. Don’t dispair, ask google “how to disable smooth scrolling for XYZ mouse”.
if their aim was to attract new players for naval - has anyone seen a advertisement (e.g. yt) for the “brand new fantastic naval arcade mode”? I Can’t believe that they only try to convince existing wt ground or air players?
