Naval mode is finally dead

Sure made you heated when you played again, and justice was served against the game when you got some good hits, points, and kills in the next match, in right? ha ha ha, I love gaming.

Yeah this game is rigged.
I probably wouldn’t have noticed if it weren’t for these event vehicles constantly taking my attention from spading vehicles. I would just use my prime crews and began noticing a pattern.

I have played Naval since around 2017-2018 (I had an old account, but the email it was connected to I can no longer access). I tried NRB, but playing with controller, it’s hard to aim. I follow the arrow, but it was most of the time too high, so I had to aim way lower, and it’d work, until my aiming was locked to be lower, so then I had to aim high. In NAB, before the update, it didn’t have it. Besides, I wouldn’t always aim at the circle, since I could aim while enemies were turning. Now, with the new aiming, I don’t know how to feel. it’s great at aiming in close combat, or when the enemy isn’t moving. But while turning, I feel useless. And its easier for me to die now. While NRB issues stay the same.

Do note, these are all in my opinion, based on what I’ve experienced. If their are ways to fix this NRB aiming issue, I’d be open for help.

Ok, so there are two ways to address the leading (aim closer or further) thing in NRB. First, is the typical way with keybinds to adjust the distance, “distance correction”. Most people use mouse wheel for this, but you could probably bind that to some of the buttons, or maybe the top bumpers. COULD maybe bind it to one of the joysticks, but idk how well that would work for you:

Second, everytime you “reselect” an enemy in Naval RB, it will “reset” your aiming distance to their current location. This works but is not ideal as you might select a different target. I assume you already have this bound, but just posting screen of it anyway:

OH and just to double check, I strongly suggest turning this setting OFF. I cannot stand it, it will randomly select new targets when you are in the middle of firing at a target:
(This one is in OPTIONS, rather than Controls)

I really love the new auto-aiming. NAB sucked before because I missed most of my shots because I had to simultaneously take care to adjust distance and aim, making me often not even see the target on screen (because of lead), or missing a lot because the shells just a bit overshoot or undershoot.
It bugged me because there is a crew to take care of such calculations.
Ideally I could equally focus on firing and maneuvering, while in the old system if I stopped aiming for a bit to make a maneuver, it’d basically reset my alignment so I had to miss a few salvos before hitting again.

Maps should be more open though, so we’d have terrain and other stuff to make maneuvering meaningful, and not just spawn-shooting in open sea.

its ok that you like the new aiming as I accept if one is not my opinion ( I still dislike it) . As for the maps maybe I misunderstood you because you wished more open maps which in consequence support the spawn to spawn shooting which you dislike (as nearly every other player incl. myself)

Give naval better SL modifiers and will live again!

Yeah. It is one of those changes that closes my wallet for this year. Never been a big spender. But till it is undone, no more money.

Yup, i wasnt any Good in the old System but now its just ********.
I See the shells hit the enemys arse, Correct my aim Forward and the new System “Corrects” it back to the enemys arse… multiple times… one would think the System would at some point as i am Aiming a gazilion miles ahead of the enemy notice that i want it to aim further forward… it just dosnt.
And to top it of Planes are just dead…

Not a Fan of the new Aim-System, pls fix.

You’re only allotted 1 high scoring match per 4 matches. If you are able to squeak out 2 or 3 somehow, you just get balanced harder.
AI aiming ensures this is regulated to the point that you’re easily aware.
The fanboys think it’s an improvement because they don’t have to think at all when they click.

I don’t know what I did. But now, all my controller controls were wiped out. Now my game is bricked and I can’t play. (Playing on laptop, but using controller. Hard for me to unlearn years of playing controller)

Fuck it, I’m buying a mouse. I’ll just learn laptop controls.

Oh noes 🙁 I try and remember to backup my controls file every month or so. AND I then email it to myself to have a backup of the backup. I lost my keybinds years ago and vowed to never have it happen again. Screenshot for the button to click to backup your controls:

I also like to name the files with a “Year.Month.Date” structure so I know which is which, and they will then automatically organize themselves by date on the computer:

Their nothing on control wizard?

Using the control Wizard WILL reset most/everything to default (I think anyway, haven’t done that in YEARS). EVEN IF your controls are wiped currently, I would highly suggest doing a backup JUST in case they are not actually gone. AND then if/when you do use the Wizard, I would VERY strongly suggest you start backing up the file as you put your keybinds back in. Can even do a “Year.Month.Date.TIME” format if you are doing a lot in one day. EG: 2025.03.23.1118

Thank you, but eh. Like. I’m just tired from it. I’m buying a mouse right now.

So, this is just the mouse I have and thoroughly like, the Logitech G402. I like Logitech overall because you do not HAVE to run their software. And even if you do use the software you can upload changes to the mouse and turn off their software if you don’t want it running. (I just leave it on as it is VERY light and doesn’t cause me any issues unlike some other brands, eg RAZOR.)

Whatever you do choose, I very highly recommend a mouse with some extra side/top buttons. Makes it SO much easier to bind extra stuff in WT. Like in tanks I bind my secondary/missiles to one of the top buttons, so I can fire autocannons with main left click button, and just roll over to one of the top buttons to fire missiles. Like on the BMP-2M / BMD-4’s etc.

Don’t really need one of those crazy ones with like 12 side buttons lol, but I LOVE 2 extra on the side, and 2 extra on top. SOOOOO much easier for me.

I bought the MX Anywhere 2S mouse from Target.

You can get the Logitech G502 for $40 on sale sometimes. Yeah, whatever you do, don’t get stupid Razer anything. My old Razer keyboard went dead in the middle of WT game years ago. My DeathAdder mouse was heavy, with piano black sloped sides (so slippery and hard to pick up) and the stupid software kept the mouse settings in the cloud, so every time you started a computer and did not have a connection, it would be stock crap and very fast. On top of that the left mouse button was screwed up and every time you would press, it would double-click or even triple-click (faulty switch, known issue 10+ years ago). Have no desire to get anything Razer ever again. The in-cloud storage of settings and no way to store locally is the biggest BS.

You can get one of these MMO multi-button mice on sale now on Newegg for $15:

20 fricken buttons lol. It has separate software. Multiple profiles for multiple games. Just make sure you select for it to run with Windows to keep all the settings.

EDIT: The sale ends today, but I see it for that price from time to time.
