Guest Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 It's funny. Played a tier 2 game. There was only 1 human on each team. The human on red team died quickly so I suicided and watched the bots fight it out. Red team bots were good. Hitting targets most of the time. Our bots shot at absolutley nothing, shots landing kilometers from the target. Our DDs plowed forward in a straight line and rammed cruisers and died, I watched their Sampson. WASD...stop...reverse...getting torps on target, he ends up with 4 kills. They end it with a 12 to 5 bot kill ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volron Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Yeah, it is still there. I'll aim at waterline, watch shells fall well short....ON A STATIONARY TARGET! Adjust to aim higher, watch shells fly off into orbit. It is annoying as hell. There are times I'll actually HIT the target more consistently not locking on when I have this happen too often against one ship.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was roughly in the middle of the Naval Base having come from the easterly opening in, firing at the docked Gneisenau at maybe, a 30 to 45 degree angle. My shots sometimes hit, but mostly fell on either side of the target... except with one salvo, half of the shots landed approximately about 200 meters off on the port side of the ship, I assume those were fired from my aft turrets.

Even from aft turrets, they should not have deviated that much especially at range. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually so bad I don't think I've ever seen it that bad before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly looks like you had not locked on. That is the kind of dispersion I see when I'm not locked on a target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm not locked on, there's got to be a bug somewhere. For this update, I've also been running entirely vanilla UI, with only cosmetic mods installed.

I don't run any mods and I still see this happen too often, so it isn't a mod thing. What I have found is if I unlock then relock, it usually fixes the issue. I am honestly trying to remember when this became an issue. It's been like this for at least 2 years if I recall correctly. Sure as ell did not happen during CBT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For every single shot or salvo... just because WG can't bother to straighten out their spaghetti of a code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it doesn't happen THAT often for me but when it does I tend to do it, almost out of habit at this point. But yes, you need to do it however often you need too, because of what you just said: "WG can't bother to straighten out their spaghetti of a code".

HogHammer Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 From what I've read, seen, and experienced in-game, yes, there is an aiming bug that, after experimenting with it some time ago, seems to be a result of, as some call it, "auto-aim," but is really labeled as the "lock-on" feature built into the game. When you lock on to a target, this sets the exact parameters of the ship you are aiming at that precise time. Any deviation by your target will throw it off - such as a change in ship speed or a change in direction. This is where the toggle "X" becomes useful just prior to your shot. The longer you are locked on a target, the greater your chances of having shots not landing where you intended, such as unintended dispersion. Potato Quality describes this perfectly in this video -- This little trick does work pretty well, by the way. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there is the bug you posted above which i just had to deal with lately. which mostly deals with dispersion. Which can be also attributed to rigged games. Who know why some ones dispersion is completely fubared? Yup, we at WeeGee are not at fault trying to make money off of rigging stuff. It's a bug! (Disclaimer: that we have no intention of fixing) Then there is the shells falling short which has nothing to do with dispersion. Then there is the bug recently brought up where you zoom in zoom out and lose target or reconition of an island between you and the target. And since WEGee slowed things down over the "Torp aiming bug and quickly raising your aim targeting and firing bug, there is now a slow to lock on "fix" that is just pain out frustrating when you have a split second to get off a shot. Fix your servers WeeGee. Edited October 4, 2023 by WES_HoundDog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugilistic Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 At the back of my mind is the recollection that WG couldnt actually eliminate the railgun bug, so their fix involved retarding gun elevation speed. My impression afterward was that this made rounds go all over the place on snap shots, particularly a lot of shorts, so I try to let my aim dwell for a moment when there has been a quick change in elevation/traverse.
