  There was only one DD on the map and he was being actively spotted at 15-20km away on the other side of the map.


I'm guessing it's some glitch for a hidden spotter plane from some of the other comments. I've noticed the catapult launched planes never show distance to me when I use the ALT button to get info on them either.

Spotter plane of a dead ship and unseen DD are the only "anomolies" I have discovered on the spotting mechanics.  Everything else works like clockwork from what I have tested.


and FYI, Aslain's had a modpack update today.  Maybe the training room is fixed!

It would have to be a spotter plane then. The time I noticed it happening multiple times on the same map there was only one enemy DD alive and he wasn't in my area. I just thought it was weird because it was the ship detection that kept showing up and not an aircraft detection warning.




Is there any fix to getting distances put on catapult launched aircraft? This is one of my biggest pet peeves because I have to try to track them off the minimap instead of doing a quick ALT check to see if they're closing on me or if I can go after them if I have good AA.

I haven't played since they unborked AP for BBs, but during OCT, I was having crazy issues with my smoke.
I would drop smoke, slow up, and turn back into it. I would then not be able to spot ships within 8km, CAs and BBs, while they had me spotted...

All those calculations are handled server side, so there has to be something else at play in that instance.

If you can't see them, but they can see you, then you're the only one within spotting range of those ships, but your smoke has hindered your ability to see them.  As to them shooting you, are you actually spotted, or are they shooting at where your tracers are coming from.

I blind shoot stuff in smoke all the time by "guessing" or tracking tracers.

It has happened a couple of times before, that my smoke has screened me from seeing the enemy and done little to nothing to hide me.

I was being spotted, my 1 point detection skill warning was up, not popping up now and then like it does when you pop smoke at full speed. That's why it was so ridiculous to me.
There was a friendly CV and BB somewhat in the vicinity but they may have been screened by the island or out of range. I was diving in against their flanking task force trying to protect/distract them so my BB and CV could make a run for it.

Hell, one time an enemy DD dropped smoke 2-3km away from me and it screened him and his torps until ~1km, this was before Russian DDs btw.

We need to all be using the same reticle then.  The leads I would call out would be useless otherwise  (Cry Havoc sight by ephex).

I like some of the other reticles out there, but for some reason, this one just clicks with me gunnery wise.


Cool thing about the training room is I can pick whatever targets you want, whatever map you want, and then we can all be on the same team with me spotting in a DD, and you guys taking/practicing max range shots to start.  Then we can work inwards from there (including maps that have islands and how to ambush/shoot over/around islands and such).

I'm ok with standardizing.  I like the dragonfly reticle, but can try the cryhavok.

In the mean time, as we play calling out leads in ship lengths is at least a short term option.  Leisure and I were doing that in our Tirpitz's last night.  While we lost the game, once we got a firing solution worked out we were hitting pretty regularly.

I tried that reticle... I did awful with it. The aim point is off... where you're aiming doesn't match the bottom of the tick marks and I was putting my shots high. Lost a duel to a Cleveland in a Fuso at 4km.

Makes no sense to me.  People used to do the same thing in WOT.  They were saying they were swapping ammo, but that makes no sense since you can just hit the number 2x for the round you want.

Some guys do it just to mess around, and some just don't know any better.  I know a couple nights ago Liesure was alt-tabbed out of the loading screen and it fired automatically when he came back into the game, so perhaps there is a little bug or glitch that causes that to happen.

I do it on occasion.
Most of the time I'm just messing around or trying to wake up an AFK, sometimes I am blind firing at choke points/cap points, other times I'm testing the reload speed or trajectory of a new ship/upgrade and a few times it is just an accidental click.

I've hammered cruisers at the start of games in my BBs when they light up from shooting in spawn, just so you know.  I think Leisure has done the same thing, IIRC....along with several others.

I do it on ocassion for one round when the match starts. Just to see where the volume is at. No clue about people who shoot a mountain for 2 minutes.

It can quickly do massive amounts of damage with HE rounds, or with AA to aircraft.  AA has fantastic range, and the big AA guns can one shot aircraft.  The main guns have limited range, and in order for you to hit your target, you are always well within their range, meaning that they will be shooting you first.






It can be destroyed just as quickly.  It's main defense is a good offense, and it is very fast and maneuverable.

Once I got the extended range captain skill my Atlanta enjoyment went up a lot. It's a fantastic support ship for AA cover, DD screening, and to jump on an already engaged target. Just hang back and wait for aircraft or your longer range ships to engage then when someone's committed to another ship move in and pound them with HE bukkake.

What you are experiencing is known as RNG my friend.  

Yeah yeah yeah, Wargaming says it doesn't have RNG for damage and citadels in WOWs...that the model is complex enough that it doesn't require RNG.   The light switch is real and depends on which RNG you are bless or cursed with in a game.   Kinda like the RNG on how much fire damage you'll take in a game.  Some games your ship seems to have decks that have been freshly swabbed with gasoline and gunpowder, and you burn down very quickly.  Other matches you can sail right into the HE pain rainbow of an Atlanta and not so much as even get a scorch mark.

So I just did 1200 damage on 52 HE hits in my slavshit DD. How is that even possible? Definitely not on RNjesus's good side tonight.

If you're aiming for the armor belt, you'll get a lot of bounces. You need to aim for superstructure.

Ranked battles are back. I just saved my team in my Cleveland and got a thumbs up vote.
254 hits, three ships sunk including a FUSO and their carrier and 5k xp non premium.




End then get in a match where we lose because both cruisers are fucking retards running around the map not fighting.

I played a couple ranked games but didn't win any. If you have even one retard on your team, you are fucked and fucked I was. Made lots of new friends though.

Yeah, ranked battles were pretty bad.  Thunder had a good run though...he was getting game after game against the baddies.  I was on the win 1 / lose 1 rotation last night so really didn't make any ground up.

I continue on my yo-yo in ranked battles.   Has taken me close to 15 battles now to get to rank 13.   Typically wargaming reward system incents folks to speed grind through or just go AFK and hope for a win.

The Pensi is really just a bigger Atlanta, with more range. I just had a great match in it, but "Thanks ATT U-Verse Obama!" my game logged out, so I don't have screenshot.


 










In true WGing fashion... I mentioned I was 66% in my Pensacola earlier in the week.  I just checked and I am now 51%.  Thanks for keeping my ego in check, WGing!

When I am using AP, I aim for the waterline if I am close.

Small caliber AP can do serious dmg if you shoot it into the superstructure as well....

I routinely get 9000+ dmg volleys in BB superstructures in my Cleveland.
