If you want me cover a specific topic or you just have a question feel free to say so here in the comments.^^
I would really really appreciate a vid about aiming when enemy is going towards you in an angle. I struggle with it soo much. Im not sure how to place the crosshair, how much of a distance should I move down or to the side. Youd be my hero for a vid with that topic. Just generally aiming enemies coming in an angle towards you/away from you. And thanks for this vid btw
@@Tomichika i showed a bit here but here are extras.
1st. Don't Worry. Like i said here shooting and finding correct spot takes a lot of time. Sometimes RNG screws you over or enemy just sees shells and dodges.
2nd. Try to picture yourself a circle around enemy. Make the prediction the same way as if he is going flat broadside. Then move around that imaginary circle to the point when it will cross the line enemy is travelling on (you can see it on minimap).
Keep in mind that this might still result in bounces and slight changes from the enemy will make more shells miss.
I hope this helps at least a bit.
I think i can do it a video or at least a short about this.
If you want more interactive explenation, i also stream WoWs on twitch where i m always happy to answer questions. (usually around 4-8 PM GMC +2)

No dispersion issues in our game guys, TRUST

You sounded like bigb2ohgaming
The fact that locking a target affects accuracy so much is baffling having been 1 of the 5 people playing warthunder naval.
I tried waiting in queue sim... I mean WT naval once. Strange experience for WoWs player ngl.
@@senpai_silent7208I could say the same, it felt weird and I didn't really think WT naval is for me (at least when I started German destroyers, since then I have not played because of my PC, and because I don't like the game that much to be honest)
I play warthunder naval :D
To aim long range shots, I like to keep aware of the travel time of the shells, not the range. It's next to your aim point. Then I can use that info to lead. I start with 1s = 1 point on the dynamic crosshair, then adjust for speed (more for destroyers, less for battleships) and direction (less lead if angled). This is particularly useful for battleships where the long reload time precludes walking fire onto the target.
Then I have a feel for how to make an 8s shot vs a 12s shot.
The nice thing is this works regardless of the ship's shell characteristics. It doesn't matter if you're firing German laser cannons or floaty high angle American shells, the time to target (and thus your lead) has been calculated for you.
i explained that in the basic aiming guide
As i said here this video was made as an continuation so i don't repeat myself nor overload with information.
You actually described what i said in basic vid here but i also explained how i calculate in head the "extra offset"
if you know max speed of the ship and the fact that the crosshair is made for 30kts you can calculate what is %diff between 30kts and the speed of the ship then add that % to the time.
@@senpai_silent7208 I'll have a look at that guide, thank you.
Another good mod is running lights shows forward backward stationary indicators. Usually it is obvious but can help to determine speed and acceleration in some instances. Gave me about 20k dpg increase so not massive but definitely noticeable
Good summary. Thumbs up.
I use the Nomogram Classic crosshair and it works very well if you guess the speed right, using the smoke trail as you said. It's sometimes unavailable when the game is updated and Modstation isn't. I find the unmodded crosshairs difficult to use and "Kentucky windage" (going with your gut instinct) works better. With the unmodded crosshairs, the number of seconds of lead per tick mark seems to vary.
On the smoke shooting thing i like to pop spotter and shoot just below where the shells come out of the guns and because of that have made some legendary blind shots from accross the map in vermont when there is a cruiser camping in smoke or behind islands so long as they are not moving around like most should be. Vermont is super good at it cause unusually good dispersion when it's not targeting something and an excellent shell arc
I think i said the line about shooting below and between where shells come out. I forgot to tell about the spotted plane even tho in all those clips i used that view....
Sniping BBs usually have very good accuracy regardless distance.
Try one other thing. Sometimes there might be enemy near the guy in the smoke you want to blindfire.
If you lock on him the shells won't disperse even when you fire at the smoked up guy. Keep in mind the shells will want to fall closer to the locked in target tho.
@senpai_silent7208 did you? My bad I was listening to this while I was working.
@senpai_silent7208 lol sure enough, you did, and it was in a vermont no less
@@caelangeach4747 Np.
That poor Smolensk. I almost feel bad there. Almost.
He got Vermont-ed.
Nice tips. Thanks.
Always glad to help ^^
Just to add some info:
1) Nomogram Classic is good mod to have for crosshair. It has two scales, upper is for ships at 30knts, lower is ship with 20knots. One can use them to aim properly (Especially with american ships).
2) Ship movement indicator mod also gives color dots on the ship telling you if they are stationary, moving forward or backward.
when shooting kiting ships or angled ships, put crosshair on the upper tip of nose that will land most shells on your target. If they are fast then align your crosshair with the nose but a bit farther from the ship.
The more info we get here the better for community.
Thank you for your input here.
I m not really into mods as just like i said, I like my game virgin. xD
@@senpai_silent7208 yes, mods are personal preference, having said that, it's good for beginners who are learning the game.. once you get enough experience..they can use the vanilla client. I use to use aslian modpack but now I don't use any mods.
Those are nice, but I personally think those mods are cheating in an online game. That is a huge advantage over people not using it.
@@brianbalcer most of the mods in that modpack are ending up in vanilla client at some point. Also those are open to download for anyone
@@brianbalcer the mods that are approved by WG and downloadable from Modstation imo should not be considered as cheating
more like using training wheels on a bike
that is only my opinion tho
this discussion only sparks more conflicts and i don't like those.
We cannot change what WG allows.
True chads play on vanilla. xD
7:50 awwww youre sweet
I think full HUD should be on by default
I think a lot of players are only underperforming because they have no idea that that's a setting
Indeed it should be. Could not agree more.
I like the spider because it allows good hits at angles
Isit better to rush up to buy ship till tier ten just to get satisfying kill, coz rn im using german IX cruiser, and the i always get low damage, n don’t hit the enemy citadel. So how?
I would say getting your 1st tier X is very important but no need to rush. As a F2P i recommend finding an enjoyable tier VIII ship to farm money before getting first special ships for coal/steel.
German cruisers are very good choice but those are HE based kiting ones (kiting=running away). AP is ok but you can't expect it to citadel many ships with it. Main Damage will come from HE (it is very consistant one).
To get a lot of citadels you would need ship with much better pen and/or caliber. BBs can deliver huge punches but are not so consistant. Cruisers like petro or Des Moines have very good AP for citadeling other cruisers and low armor BBs but the punches delivered a bit smaller then the ones from BBs.
I made a video not so long ago about what ships are good to grind first in my opinion:
czcams.com/video/dUK2f67v-oE/video.htmlsi=oHeh88jLBim1ZwC0
If you’re a new player, don’t push for Hindenburg. Tier 10 has much better players and you will do even worse, even if you play the best t10 ship. Stick to tier 6-8 til you learn how to play really well. Also, I don’t recommend cruisers for new players, they are by far the most skill needed. Battleships are easier for new players
I don't recommend rushing all the way to top tier ship(s) for beginner. Take your time to earn more experience with how you handle your ships, how to aim, how to engage and disengage, how to support your team, each class has different function. Boring as it may, but it is better than having a Malta player but he can't hunt down any ships (especially DD) or a Des Moines captain but he don't know how and when to use his utilities for him and his team mates... a Shimakaze player with 20km torpedo sailing along with his battleships at the back 😂
@@dewannee Thank you yall, really appreciate your advice :)
On my mini map I have an X instead of a circle? How can I change that? I would rather have the circle
I think that must come with mods you are using as i m not aware of there being any setting in vanilla client that changes that. Check up on what you have. If that does not work try resetting game settings to default ones as those should run with circle.
and what about aiming with torps? xD
That's the neat part - you don't
Man speaks truths
Torps will hit with the aiming wedge, if the target ship does not change speed and does not change direction. Predict where how your target will change its movement and then adjust where to aim your torps. Some players have the skill of being able to read minds. This skill is very useful in aiming your torps and also in trying to figure out what your wife or girlfriend really wants.
@@TheFman2010 "Wall of skill" strategy also works. Not recommended as main strat but ok.
In terms of woman i cannot help, I m WoWs player afterall so i will be virgin forever.
How do I download the Allowed Mods?
Modstation at the official site.
like other comment said: Modstation for WoWs from WG themselfs
Here is the link:

Homing torps from subs are just stupid, and the other day I had a tier 8 sub fire at least 15 torps at me in the Yamato, ridiculous.

Little bit? Dynamic crosshair is what improved my aim the most immediatelly in this game
I played so much on static the moment i switched to dynamic my accuracy halfed so i switched back. So i said a little bit cuz nobody gets same from it.
Glad it worked for you.
@@senpai_silent7208 It pretty much tells you how to lead.
All you need to know is how fast the enemy ship is going. If It's going in a straight line and top speed is 30 knots then you aim on 30 on dynamic crosshair and that's it.
@@starly1974 i m so used to the way i m aiming i very often do not even think about crosshair. Changing it to dynamic would just create extra distraction.
Actually, Static 8 is REALLY good. I use it.
Imo it creates too much clutter on screen but if it works for you, good.
Static for aiming is garbage. Always dynamic
I m using static my whole life and accuracy of my shots is around 39% global which is pretty good.
Crosshair won't do the aiming for you it is there to be a guideline.
Choice of it is personal, my only recommendation is to make sure it does not clutter the screen too much.
@@senpai_silent7208 if you change your zoom level, it throws off static quite a bit. My accuracy never falls below 60%
@@jamesstevenson3116 good for you i guess. The pros last time i chacked have like 41-42% global acc accuracy for main guns.
I m gonna stick to what i said. Crosshair is more of a guideline. Knowing intuitivly what enemy will do is the key.
Good luck, fair seas and may the dispersion RNG be with you captain !
@@jamesstevenson311660% global gun accuracy? Im going to need a fact check on that.
from what i checked the best players have ~50% max
that's because WoWs and WG suck. I quit 3 years ago, and the viewership of yt and twitch videos is crashing. Do not pay one cent for this game and stop at tier 7.
Well... WoWs is getting same treatment as WoT had. Wonderfull game slowly killed by devs.
I generally try to be as F2P as possible in all games and i won't be recommending to pay money to WG.
However i disagree with stopping at tier VII as there are many wonderful tier VIII ships in the game.
Also i recommend you to read about Project CW. - seperate team that branched out from WG created actually fun tank game. Played the last alpha test and i have high hopes. Maybe you will find it fun too. (when it will eventually release...)
