Seems like the Coastal aim got MUCH worse as of today. It no longer seemlessly track targets slightly behind walls, in which, indirect fire is a major part of, and pre-tracking, pre-firing targets before they come out of cover
The aim also seems way less accurate now especially with low velocity ships (cough British 113mm guns)
In the below picture, I clearly had an lock on the target, but it would not raise the guns.
Pre-firing is impossible now
Low velocity boats cant take advantage of the velocity anymore

There was an update today claiming to fix the bug.
Guess what it is still there.
WG has been paying someone in there to break the game.
There is no other explanation for the stupidity going on with these updates.

Can confirm I have the same issue. I can lock onto a target but if I don’t have LOS the guns will not elevate. This includes targets I already had tracked and were hitting as soon as they go behind a small island.
Some people said to unlock and re-lock but it seems like one of the following is happening:
Either 1: Targets are staying locked when they should be disappearing
Or 2: We lost the ability to indirect fire.

My theory is that it’s a response to auto aim making coastal boats miserable to play
Turned out, this made things even worse, as coastal boats rely on shifting between cover And cover.

“don’t fix what’s not broken” should have been the whole thing.
Naval was/is a unbalanced mess, but it requires delicate attention to improve it. A guiding hand with precision.
The “fix” is like calling an ambulance for a cold flu, then getting run over by it.
The mode should have been left alone.

One thing has been made clear.
Not only do they not play the game.
They hate us.

Just had a match and can confirm that even a single tree can block LOS.
A light cruiser was sitting behind an island peppering me with rounds in my moffet and I was completely unable to return fire from 5km away. I guess his gun barrel had LOS or something.
Also, if something is slightly out of range of your guns you can now target and attempt to shoot, and shoot low. -_-
