We need the old naval aiming system back in arcade. Oh and fix the ammo detonations

[SekritDocumentz]

I just don’t get it. The old naval arcade system was perfect. It required a tiny bit of skill but wasn’t over complicated or requiring too much thought like naval RB.

Now, if a ship makes even the slightest course change or speed change, you simply cant correct. On ships with really high shell arcs, it’s almost impossible to hit anything at range unless it’s a bot moving in the straight line.

Gaijin said they fixed the bug of shells spamming off all over the place but it still happens frequently. The shells spread out like a shotgun at times.

If a ship makes the most tiny of movements, it throws your guns totally out. You can’t plan or lead any shots now the shot indicator is gone. Even if you attempt to lead, it confuses the guns even more, as Gaijin created a system where you just need to point at the part of the ship you wanna hit. I get this dumbed down version but there was literally no need for it. Nobody asked for it.

I see zero logic in the new aim system, which basically now feels like a random number generator as to whether shells go close or not.

On top of that, Ive no idea what they did, but with the update, ammo detonations occur all the time. I’ve detonated enemy battleships with a single 150mm HE round. You get ammo detonated all the time and have fun with your 300 second repair time and burn down to death.

My record so far is ammo detonations on 9 enemy ships in 2 games. It’s crazy.

Seriously, Gaijin have pushed naval with this update, and when most players play arcade, you’ve gotta give us the old aiming system back, because the current one just doesnt work and aint fun.

Please add your vote to my poll that has been up for a few months now:

[Poll] with multiple options for the changes to Naval Battles

Multiple option poll for the current changes to Naval Battles, especially the changes to aiming for Naval Arcade battles. Votes are public. I plan on leaving this poll running indefinitely, at the very least until changes are made and/or reverted. The only difference between Options #2 and #3 is to revert or keep the increased accuracy of AI botes (REVERTING Naval Arcade aiming, but keeping all other changes). Option #4 is for those who LIKE the new Naval Arcade aiming, but want to ONLY REVERT …

Then, here are many multiple threads covering the same/similar topics:

Other Naval Aiming Threads:

1. New ARCADE aiming
2. Navy Arcade Sucks Now
3. Naval mode is finally dead
4. Poll regarding new aiming system
5. Multiple unintended consequences of the changes to the Naval Arcade Battles
6. Bring back old naval aiming with some tweaks
7. I like the new naval arcade aim
8. Are you enjoying new "hull strength" mechanic?

However, the thread linked below is the biggest/main post about these issues with over 900 replies already. I would highly recommend posting there to continue the discussion in one location where everyone else can see, and where many are already tracking/watching:

Naval mode is finally dead

Naval mode was bad before, and with every patch, they somehow make it even worse. Now the aiming sights make no sense—you can’t even tell where the guns are pointing while the turret rotates. You aim your shot, and it lands completely off, anywhere but where you aimed. It used to be better; you could calculate your shots and strategize where to damage the enemy ship.

The current arcade naval system is why I play naval arcade more often now.
It’s nice not having a copy-paste of the naval realistic aiming system but worse.

The new aiming system aims exactly where you point, there is no randomness, it’s pure arcade which is exactly what I expect from an arcade game mode.

The guns lead perfectly for you, and as long as the target doesn’t dodge, or you predict their dodge, they’ll land on target.
