What if we just make it like it used to be way back when. Allow Primaries and Secondaries to fire decently accurate with the built in AI gunnery bots. With the aimbot changes to Naval Arcade, there’s no real aim-game. You point. You click. It’s dull. I resisted for a longtime but, if this is the way of it, we need to find our fun somewhere else.
Let the built in AI bots shoot for us, and we can focus on driving, maneuvering, positioning, launching floats, torps, and getting on point.
You can’t realistically ignore putting down DPS. As is, you HAVE to hover your mouse over the enemy ship and hold down the left mouse button. BUT! What if we could set a primary target (as we once could before the aim change) and let the AI gunners lay the cover fire down while we focus on things that take a modicum of skill? It has a precedent. It was previously done.
What do we think?
(If I don’t rebuttal a certain player, it’s because they’ve been ignored.)
It’s not. Not at all. Jumping back into NAB, I find I’m mostly just holding down left mouse button while hovering over ships. I rather having a broader situational awareness, focus on my float planes, or doing ANYTHING else. Again, it was possible in the past. I used to set HEVT on primaries, then target a plane and let the primaries take it out while I focused with secondaries on small boats. With Aim in the state it is… no reason it shouldn’t be completely automated. Lots of fun to focus on with other mechanics.
And/OR!!! We class ships so that different mechanics can be focused. You wanna stare down the sights all game… BB. Heavy Cruiser. You wanna support? Maybe the float cruisers. Any sort of diversity of play is better than what we got now. It’s like we only got one thing to do in these matches.
They shall just bring back the old aiming… I can literally work while playing Naval arcade it so boring just click no matter what that damn shell will land on you.
They pushed some naval events. Dropped some long awaited BBs. I think the growth is the hype that followed both the events and the BB releases. The gameplay itself suffers greatly. It’s just straight up boring. And the majority of people who have taken to the forums agree. So, I’m not asking to change the mechanics. I gave up on that. Just to allow players to have more to do by not having to participate in the tedium of holding the left mouse button over a ship on the horizon.
It’s incredibly dull.
Let mains fire with the same accuracy that the bots have, and let players focus on driving their boat, maneuvering for the best angles, launching floats, firing torps. As some people have stated, it’s more realistic. The crew are firing the guns. Not the captains. Let us focus on captaining the boats.
