Navy Arcade Sucks Now

My Guy. Do you even play War Thunder? What does a team winning or losing have to do with an individuals skill? THat’s why you don’t chase the “If the team wins” dailies and you cycle to something you have control over.

You’re just trolling. Your counters are weak personal attacks.

I played a match today. Popped a couple Russian Project Costals pretty quick in the Asagao. Popped by a destroyer a few Km away in the first couple volleys. Came back in with a backup and then couldn’t touch a PR206 because he was… hiding behind bushes.

I had Line of Sight. Guns just wouldn’t aim at him. Kept shooting the water at my hull. I couldn’t lift sights to manual adjust. I couldn’t use a manual elevator. I wasn’t even sure where my guns where.

How… TF… is that skill based gunplay?

I have NO CONTROL of my guns. I can’t even shoot the guy right in front of me. RIGHT in front of my eyes because… the AI is confused.

In Old NAB aiming, I could compensate for goofy stuff. Now… you’re boned.

NO ONE IS enjoying this except Bluewaters.

Mostly, because the goofiest of Bluewaters sat infront of their screens, drinking beers, camped behind an island, holding down left mouse button.

Those of us who actually played, and particularly costals, don’t have a game anymore.

Gaijin made Naval Arcade into an SL farm for the talentless. Not an improvement for new players.

We need agency back in our game.

THIS. If Kweedko is so jazzed, pop off the forums and enjoy himself. We don’t need a Propaganda Officer gaslighting us into thinking this is good. It’s clearly AWFUL. It’s a very clear dumbing down and straight BREAKING of the game.

They’ve removed our ability to control a key component of play. AIMING. …AIMING… of all things. The game is about how well you can aim. …they REMOVED AIMING. …it’s… WILD.

Even with this “easy mode aim bot” I can’t shoot a target RIGHT in front of me because the AI won’t let me. …I can’t even select “realistic aiming” so that I can have control back. You’re just… doomed to watch the AI point your guns at the water.

And Gaijin is just letting this farce continue for weeks. Like, Arcade is clearly broken. No… returning it to a stable mode. Just… plowing through. It’s like the game is back in it’s alpha state. And I know because I played it in alpha. The alpha was better.

Dumb.

It’s a bug do you know?

You can make a suggestion for optional “realistic aiming” return in NAB. It’s been almost month since patch didn’t see any.

I enjoy it on both costals and bluewater, on all ranks. And with even broken overobstacle shooting players enjoy it too, just look at your 3 today matches they all full of players 16 vs 16.

Are you jealous or something?

It’s ain’t my argument in first place, i repeat.

I’m ain’t trying to convince you anything, im just saying that for me it’s a good changes and i think it good for the mode, and i see people playing mode more, if not that what can say that they like it, do they play what they don’t like?

Is this still on topic?

Should we speak only that it sucks? Cause title say so? I thought it’s tread of weeps and moans.

I don’t think this has to be personal though. You can like it or not like it. Doesn’t make you a better or worse human being. But the discussion is on that tangent.
Not sure if I stay arcade or go realistic myself. Have to give both a try. Thanks to the new battlepass (which sucks in my opinion) I have lots of time to try new stuff, as I won’t grind it.

You missed my point, emphasis on bold words

I see it as a thread of angry customers!!

But you are right, your post above just confrims you are not trying to “convince” .
You are crusading and that why you are gaslighting anyone that does not agree with your optics.

Actually in WT personal skill means a lot. Good player can win a battle, turn the tide, outplay a bunch of average players. So follow you logic with new aiming it’s way easier to win if you good, cause aiming is easier and need no brain when all in gameplay is aiming and shooting, if it not like that then now game is harder?

There always gonna be “angry customers” so what, game shouldn’t change cause of that?

I’m was much more angry on mode stagnation for the last couple of years. Now i have some hope for the changes.

Well we gathered to play airsoft, paying subcription to the club, bought shiny weapons and accessories and booked the field.
Now I am all dressed up and upon joining I am suddenly in a LASER_TUG game.

To make things even worse they did so sloppy work that the AI still thinks is playing airsoft.
Ohh maps are build for airsoft!
Omg the weapons are also broken!!

Even the way they treat you when you are reporting game breaking bugs is really offensive.
These bugs should not pass to live servers, period.

So yea this is a post of angry customers and their policy of putting it under the rug is not making it go away.

The funny thing is the recent WWI event was about guns lobbing shells over the hills. The total opposite of what we have now in Naval. If your gunner had a clear/unobstructed field of view, the tank would be shot in no time by enemy player sitting behind a hill and using binoculars, that your gunner would not see. That event was ‘lob a shell over the hill’ fest.

Form my point of view you gathered to play sealcubbing, and now seals have guns.

I dunno, I see exact same matches most of all, like nothing changed. Few people doing a lot others like from another planet. Not always ofcourse, but in same proportions as before an update. I guess you know Russian proverb that suits well :D

Like you know, this works in both ways. They still swim straight even after hits, despite maneuvering and firing now is much easier, and if mediocre player could miss first salvo or two at them, now they just get annihilated

i didn’t say that all seals born knowing how to use a gun, but before change they were with wobbling noddle swords versus those who mastered art of gun-fu aka. (skrs and m-802)

i notice that players in average achieve higher results in both dmg and points(and this with aiming partially broken), sure it’s not all thank to aiming but other changes too.

yeah in that part it’s true. But still not by that high as I was first thinking.

Personally, I’m ok with new system. Doesn’t changed a lot in terms of results, pretty much the same. Maybe yeah, a bit more comfortably, but some things are worse. Especially coastal engagements in higher tiers went much more chaotic. But it is also crazy bots ammoracking you with 1st hit (yo Pr. 12412) while u are fighting players playing huge role in this worsening.

As Naval ARCADE Gameplay sits now, it is unplayable. Playing this mode is a waste of time now. Go back and install the previous version of Arcade gameplay. This way if snail wants to try something new which should be tested, at least players can play instead of driving them away from naval arcade game mode.

Factually untrue

A matter of opinion - I’m mostly doing air for the event, but still do NAB whenever I get a big SL booster and still have no trouble with the game.

what exatly you dislike, probably you aren’t aware that currently aiming system is bugged? or you don’t like new system as a whole so much?

Not getting bug into account it is definitely not unplayable and totally not a waste of time, still great SL farmsource, probably even more than before. It is more a matter of taste, someone likes, someone no, another doesn’t care at all (like me)

last year first buff on bluewater was the instant targetting time - results in a nerf of coastals
the aimbot update again buffed bluewater and coastals this time - resulting in a nerf of planes.
So you are right - the only ones which have no nerfs are the bluewater players

If a similar update would be applied to ground (edit: realistic) would result in a laser rangefinder for every tank and a radar equipment for every SPAA
I assume the pilots would start revolting…
