Video made for educational purposes.
Relatively new player here, really appreciate guides like this provide up to date lessons on the basics for people who might not know them. Thank you for your hard work.
I`m always glad to help. My thanks to you for kind words. ^^
Good luck and fair seas captain !
Thanks for this video man. Im getting into the game and this is the most consistent video on this topic! Youve helped me a lot! ❤
I haven't played the game for over 3 years now and just about to return back to the game and this video really helps me dust off my rusty basic skills... thanks...
Many things have changed since then. So many new ships so many new perks...
I`m glad i helped a bit. ^^
Quick, simple and well explained video
Great job, now will stop firing 50 shells without 20 being non pen and 20 being ricochet
That's one of my problems with wows, game doesn't have a tutorial to explain these things, my experience as a new player was awful, needed to watch a lot of videos to understand the game
I'm planning on making more vids like this if this series will prove to be successful. Including both beginner level and more advanced vids. :)
Always happy to help.
2:18 in Statistics, it's called standard deviation which is the average distance from the mean (sigma is the symbol) where the numbers show the probability of a dataset landing in between that range in a normal distribution.
The middle (center) is the mean average (u symbol), where each standard deviation adds more confidence.
The mean is the middle 50%, where adding one standard deviation goes to 68ish% confidence. Adding two goes to about 95%, and adding three goes to about 99ish% afaik
Just noting for those wanting a quick rundown.
i did not wanted to explain details of graphs in this way bcs it does not matter for beginner player and my bore them to much. Thank you for leaving thr comment tho for all of those that want that info tho and Marry Xmas ^^.
@@senpai_silent yeah, just wanted to point out where this came from
I'm finally starting to figure out how to aim in wows after watching your vid
just started this week!
Aiming gets better with time. And dispersion gets better with tier. If you have any questions feel free to ask. ^^
Oh my god thats what the aim lines are for?! TIME?!
I’ve been using pure instinct to aim and tbh I’ve done shockingly good with that giving that i have no idea what im doing
Well...
Intuition is how i aim now.
But that was build on what i showed here.
I hope that info in this vid will further improve your aim. ^^
I thought its for km
Not long been playing the game. Just unlocked a tier 6 ship and didnt even realise i could lock on to improve my aim. Ive been shooting 16-20km each time. No fucking wonder only 2/3 of my guns hit. Jesus... full noob mode activated
Good for you that you realised your mistakes and now i believe you will be able to perform much better. ;)
If you have some questions feel free to ask. Always happy to help.
underrated channel and great explaination! needs more recognition :D
Just started playing this game and this video helped me a lot great guide video thank you ❤
No problemo. Good luck and fair seas captain !
the content i was searching for
@@mehrdadyaghoubi3517 glad to be of service
Thx for teaching what overmacht is! i didnt know what it was until this video..!
Always glad to help mate !
Now use it to sink some ships.
Is it still a thing that you can also aim quite good when putting the circle-dot in the minimap just right before enemy ship? I use minimap-aiming a lot on big big distances or angles
minimap helps with tracking enemy movements but do not depend on it 100
since rn minimap "updates" with small delay (you can notice that by seeing it as not smooth)
i personally use it to sometimes blind fire at smokes and very often to see if enemy is turning in or turning out (so i can correct my offset)
in the end i would say there is no dogma in aiming so experiment a bit with your method
maybe it will be a way for you to aim
gl there captain ^^
Great guide! How can I start this practice mode if I just wanna play alone and try to aim at a few ships without any other players?
Press on the gamemodes near "Battle button" -> on very bottom there should be "training battle" button-> from there you can select a game already created by someone or create your own in the bottom right corner
You can make that game private so noone can bother you or you can invite others to play.
You can select maps and gamemodes, add bots in both teams and select if they will shoot back (armed) or if they can move.
can you make advanced guide like the way your yamato shot to s.vincent? shooting the turning ships, speed juking DDs etc?
i m planning on making both basic and advanced guides in the future.
in case of that shot
460 overmatched st. vincents 25 mm nose and shooting low enough from close distance had enough pen to make shells fly thru nose into citadel
you need no advanced guide
just the overmatch table and to check armor scheme of enemy ship
Thanks,@@senpai_silent . I know those overmatch things but I have big trouble shooting the turning in/out ships. Many times I wiff the shot and miss entirely. How can I improve that?
All comes with practise tbf. If enemy turns in you need to adjust aim down a bit and if out up. In both cases give a bit less offset.
I recommend you to create yourself a custom game (switch gamemodes >"training battle" > create room > whatever map you like/settings etc. > add bots with ability to move but not armed (checkboxes when adding a bot) > pick ship you wanna practise with)
then fire at them and see what happens.
I hope it will help you. And dw if you miss, we can all improve ourself but sometimes RNG will say no.
@@senpai_silent thank you, I will do it
great guide i finally know how to aim
Glad to be of service.
Thanks the time brackets are all I was missing 30 knots huh? good to know now
they used avr speed for ships
too bad most ships go 4-5 kts above or below that....
Always glad to help.
Thank you!
Great video but idk why when I fire the shells always fly very high and take so much time to hit the target...
Now for using the mini map and spotter plane high view for blind firing. Smolensk players will curse you for it.
Not only them i believe...
Cheers for the lesson man great video got scared of the graph but was nice simple explanation.
Math is scary indeed.
Always glad to help.
@senpai_silent7208 truly thank you keep it up man and keep the videos going
I had the Sigma Rules in Maths
Great video but idk why when I fire, the shells always fly very high and take lots of time to hit the target. Can you help me plz
Shell arc depends on the ship you play.
For example US ships and most of the destroyers have that property that when you shoot on long distances the shells fly very high.
The fix to that is:
- either fight on closer distances to minimize that
- make extra predictions to compensate for the effect (requires a lot of practice)
- or just play ships with more flat shell arcs (for example russian ships such as petropavlovsk have very flat flying shells)
But in the end all shells will work like that. This is how naval artillery works and we cannot change that.
Look at the bright side. It allows you to shoot over and from behind islands.
the spread of high tier BB's is honestly really dumb, especially for the Iowa and Montana. they have superior targeting and firing systems, that they should be dotting ships from a distance without a massive shot spread.
WG took only small note on that by making those ships (Vermont and Louisianna lines included) have special unique upgrades in 3rd and 6th slot AND by montana line having cruiser sigma value but that is it sadly
as a fun fact i can say that once there was an event with special ships and one based on iowa had ability to get pixel perfect accuracy for 2 salvos (it set dispersion to 0 m )
they really should fix that tbh. it would make the game better. @@senpai_silent
Last time they tried "fixing" BBs it backfired horribly. (google Deadeye meta in WoWs for more info)
I`m certain WG is unable to make this kind of change right now so it won't backfire....
In my opinion US BBs are more then fine in terms of gun accuracy in their current state. (under 300 meters on 27 km + is better then yamato)
The hard part about aiming with those BBs is very LOOONG shell travel time making those shells very easy to dodge for the enemy. And ofc the low caliber for BB on that tier is also a problem bcs of overmatch( 406 mm for tier IX and X is low as many BBs use 457+)
To sum up in one sentence. "I rather WG not to touch something that is ok so they won't make it worse".
@senpai_silent I remember when I changed CVs. I was so mad I left the game few years. Never really recovered.
Hi, thanks for the aiming guide, but what about aiming an angled target ? And does the brackets on the crosshair apply for every distances ? I saw some people mods their crosshair so that the brackets changed when the distance of the target changed.
I have decided to leave more complicated aiming for more advanced video in the future but i will tell you.
Angled target require you to analize your gun overmatch and their armor. (If you overmatch you don't care you just try to hit, if you don't either shoot thru superstructure by aiming a bit higher or switch to HE)
Brackets apply for every distance other then point blank as sometimes this can become weird...
The mod for dynamic crosshair is for pure personal comfort purposes as it can give you more brackets to adjust aim with but you can totally play with static one of your choice and still perform as good.
GL m8 and if you have any further questions just ask.
@@senpai_silent ❤ Thanks!! Looking forward to your new vids!
The vidoe is informative for new comers to the game like me, however the sound quality is a bit off. I wish in future videos you improve the sound quality :).
This video i has cringe sound quality indeed. I m trying to improve it and myself with each video and i think i made it a bit more bearable with the ones i made after this one.
I hope...
how about settings like aiming HUD? are there any differences it make to improve my aim?
I`m using vanilla HUD as i`m used to it. There is no need for anything special. Just pick something that won't obscure your vision too much and that is it. There is no magic tool there.
From other things i would say:
- change view to full (to always see bars of HP and ship names)
- adjust FOV and camera height to your screen and liking ( i play on FOV 64, height 3)
The key to good aim is in you. There are no magic settings that will do it for you.
Just a lot of practice.
I believe you can do it. ^^
You should believe in yourself too.
@@senpai_silent thank you king
Np bud ;)
Thx for the video bud. I hope u can recognize me from the last stream in twitch.
I m happy to see you here aswell, i do recall your visit on twitch ;)
Always welcome to help with things. Next vid i m gonna do is most likely gonna be about tanking and positioning.
Hello I'm here and still can't aim. When more simple aiming guide?
Janski you had your personal aim training by me....
maybe you should as well tell people about mods, like nomrod dynamic cross which is way better to get the lead right, since the standart one is also fixed for a distance not only time
I did not really wanted to bring up modifications to the game in a guide meant mostly for those who just started playing.
Personally i like my game virgin... I mean vanilla. ;) xD
The standard cross works at any distance (in my 11k+ games i have not noticed it didn't)
having the mod is just a matter of preferance in my opinion
the only situations when i see true benefits of that is shooting at target that needs 18 seconds and more prediction which means it is either moving really fast or being far away (or both)
thus leading to almost certain miss on top of being very rare situation to begin with.
@@senpai_silent i play a lot of dd and BB so travel times of 12+ seconds come often. the dynamic crossair makes it simply easier to compensat then, at least for the first salvo, of course with practise and experience you dont need it. but specially new players can benefit from it, specially since you get two dialings for 30 knots and 20 knots at the same time.
Yeah, good video.. but please fine tune you're mic and record when the background fan is off.
most of the times is just hard to hear you clearly and understand it at the same time. :)
like the information are good, just hard to hear it.
This is one of my first vids and yes the background noises (those are actually not fans but my fish tank filters) are hearable. I`m failry sure in more recent guides the quality of my voice is improved since i am not seeing comments about the noise anymore.
Thanks for the feedback regardless. It helps me improve and this channel to grow.
Good luck and fair seas !
is there a link to the spreadsheet of armor values and ship dispersion?
i m not awere of existance of those spreadsheets
each ship has a unique armor layout that you can check in game by going into preview of this ship
in terms of dispersion there should be page for it on WG's official site called WoWs wiki
the one used at 10:46
Oh
to those
yes here you go
just scroll down to the bottom
wiki.wargaming.net/en/Ship:Gunnery_and_Aiming
If you fly it's the same you got to lead your targets
When aimimg i dont see the seconds can someone help?
Go to settings > HUD > Interface and change view to Full.
This should give you those parameters. ^^
All these intro ships have WILD dispersion but the long time player send a tight volley right at you
sometimes i see people aiming as if they are looking from an angle in the sky, is that a mod or?
Some ships can run "Spotter plane " consumable. It gives bonus max range (most of the time 20 %) It also makes your camera go much higher for the duration. You can change between standard and that view by pressing "C" by default. (this works ONLY when the plane is up, it can be shot down by enemies) Many BBs have access to that consumable aswell as some cruisers.
The more range the ship has the higher up the camera can go when shooting at max distance too.
Dude whats that Background Sound 😆
I m sorry... i m not rich enough yet...
@@senpai_silentis that your PC? LOL
Part PC part 2 fish tanks i own.... I guess when you hear that almost 24/7 you stop noticing it in recordings. (i still cannot hear it xD)
I still wonder the hell is sigma value
Number indicating likelyhood of your shells going where you want them to go. Unique for each ship.
P2W game with P2W ships with P2W capitain in P2W MM, nice game.
'Pay to Win' - game has become a joke to play as the economy changes are killing the game. forget higher or even high mid Tiers as the game drains your credits and there is no way to keep up with the loss - UNLESS you SPEND your HARD earned. uninstalling this great game developed by robbers.
Taking a look at few of my friends that started the game somewhat recently right now it is the easiest time to grind a tech tree then ever before. But that is my opinion.
Games these days are generally all trying to take your money.
I know two games that are great and have no hard monetization or plans for such in the future.
1st - Helldivers (game itself costs 40 euros tho)
2nd - Project CW (game feels great and only cosmetics are planned to be monetized on/in a similar way to valorant) -> it is still in alpha sadly
I have different HUD in aiming there are few small and then one big :c
the size doesn't matter (that is what she said xD)
but seriously now
all have the same length and all indicate same distance
the small ones are just "normal" numbers and bigger ones are numbers like 5 or 10.
It is just to help your brain pattern recognision.
;)
