MadCourier 6 Nobody: Literally nobody: Not even a single soul: Me in my Minotaur: Ratatatatatata ratatatatatata ratatatatatatata (POI~) (In mino I have 23.57 hit ratio)
Personally when I'm aiming with a spotter plane at a broadside ship, I like to look at the target ship and visualize its citadel. Also, the circle and the target course line on the minimap help a lot.
Flamu has done a couple of videos on this topic. I'll give you the links to them. The first one with the Nagato helped me a great deal. I started killing targets in their smoke right after I watched it. I haven't watched the second one, but I'm going to watch it right now. However, I've found that sometimes I can go a couple of weeks without playing a ship that uses a spotter plane and it helps me to watch the video again. Here's the links: ua-cam.com/video/KdUpctDNE9Y/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/N6haRYdHDDs/v-deo.html
Yeah I generally avoid using the spotter plane simply because although it increases the range I just can't hit much with the perspective change. I instead take the fighter plane.
I wish there was a last 50 games setting for stats and stuff. Very difficult to see if you are improving if you already have 200-300 games in a ship that you have had for 4 or 5 years.
I need to get a better graphics card, sometimes the smoke doesn't render or starts after you've been looking at the ship for a few seconds. wasting time.
Until Nomogram becomes standard in the client I would also suggest some practice on the standard crosshairs as well. They may do a patch where Nomogram is not available, so being familiar the standard one is always a good idea too.
Thank you for making these Videos. The over all quality of WoWs players seems to be dropping like fly's. Even tho their are tonnes of CC vids teaching various skills. This is very well laid out and easy to digest. Once again Thank You! And happy late Bday!
Thanks and yeah, I think a new series is needed since I've noticed just how bad things have gotten in game lately. Hopefully when I'm done, it'll help the overall population get a bit better
stefanos perivolaris the speed that a ships moves along the border depends on the angle they are at compares to the border. Closer to 90 degrees slower, closer to 180 faster. That is really all you have as a tool. I suggest firing your guns spaced out to account for errors until you have a more accurate read on the enemy ships speed.
The trick eith plane i have found is put the reticle on the ship and take a shot and see how shells land around it then adjust since each gun has its own archs
It all depends on what you're shooting at and with what. This game is really complex in that regard. If you're shooting BB AP at anything with a citadel, you'd love a chance at their waterline below the funnels against a broadside target. AP shells into the citadel is ideal whenever possible, but a lot of the time it just isn't possible. Beyond that, it really depends on whether your ship can overmatch their bow or stern. Shooting cruiser guns at BB's on the other hand, is more complicated. Then its a judgement call, usually between trying to pen the upper belt with AP for pen damage or using HE to the superstructure, bow, and stern, to try to deal fire damage by stacking fires. I usually try for AP if I think I can pen, and go HE if I am consistently bouncing or shattering shots. As to whether and where you can pen, its almost on a per-ship, per-gun basis. We'd be here all day. Find out what the specific guns you're shooting will pen with HE and AP. Against DD's with anything, load HE, aim for the engine compartment (where the citadel wold be on a cruiser) to both deal damage and KO their engine, slowing them down and/or forcing out damage control. Do it twice in a row and you've slowed their ship way down, or stopped them cold if they have a dumb build. Most DD's fall apart quickly to HE of most calibers in their matchmaking range.
Great video! I was wondering though, at about the 9:50 point in the video, you mention that the Georgia is moving at 39.85 knots...I didn't see that data on the screen...does that come from assuming the top speed of the ship with max modifiers?
2 remarks, if you are looking at a ship in wows-numbers in your ship list, if you click the Details link, you get a useful page that already compares you to the average for server and you can change that to top 5%, top 10% etc ... so no need to switch websites ... also does the Nomogram crosshair scale with binocular zoom ? As to the speed, I may have missed it, but you could have explained how to check is the target has speed boost active and the peculiarity of the French speed boost ...
having about 400 hours in the game, i felt like i was hitting a wall with my skill improvement. i had no idea that different crosshairs could make such a big difference! definitely going to try it out and see if i can improve further or not
Great tutorial! Although not very useful for me personally (been playing since 2015), this video would be super helpful for a beginner. I have always cringed at many replay analyses by various creators who seem to be trying to avoid the topic of bad aim because "that comes with experience". Yes I understand that constantly berating a new player for not aiming well isn't very useful advice, whereas things like positioning and map awareness provide much more talking points. But the truth is, where you are able to position often directly depends on who you can take on and win, which directly depends on fundamental skills like aiming. So in a sense, talking strategy without mastering the fundamentals is like a chess noob talking middlegame plans, a ten-year-old talking national politics. I'm sure I'll be linking this video to people a lot in the future.
Im gonna say those guys with the high hit % and damage spend a lot of time farming damage on battleships whereas maybe you mostly go on seek and destroy missions against enemy DDs.
It depends on if people are trying to be stat hounds or not. I'm rather shocked to find that I am in the purple (99.9% percentile!) with some things and it's going to be very difficult to resist the temptation to climb the leaderboard with those for its own sake. For example I have a purple win ratio in randoms with a couple ships that I really like - and that's just from very casual play. But all it would take is for me spending the time to division up with someone to improve that. But at some point it becomes a game within a game, so to speak. I would no longer be playing WOWS just for fun. I would also be playing "Improve Stat with Ship X" which involves planning, making sure I am not drunk, tired, or spazzed out on energy drinks when doing so, etc. It would also mean playing that particular ship (which has a play style MUCH different than my usual ones!) much more often. All of this changes the whole dynamic of how I approach playing WOWS. It goes from a time-waster while I take a break between doing household chores into a stressful competition that could easily become an obsession. lol It's true what they say: Ignorance is bliss.
If you only play for stats it's not fun. To get teh kill is just teh last damgage done, not most damage done. Also many tend to get obsesed with soem stat and make silly choices...
Well, never been this early to any video. I have found that with most ships with a good shell speed, that you can just put that small circle where the direction line and circle around the enemy ship on the map intersect, and hit the most of the time. It also gives a good starting point to get next shells on target. I usually don’t use the information on the sight when lining up shots. Obviously my shots are off if I haven’t played a ship in a while but I have always been good at just eyeballing it.
iChaseGaming Part of it is the fact I use the stock dynamic sight which has some quirks where it is accurate on targets 20km out at 30knots. Past and before that you can’t follow the indicators exactly. Because of that I developed instinct for ship speed and where I should aim. I am sure using one the mod sights would help me be even better. Where do I find that official mods that you showed?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you install this crosshair? is it a mod or do I have to toggle some settings in the game, I can't seem to find it in the settings. I do have the steam version if It is helpful.
How do you freaking shoot a stationary over 60 degree angle Cruiser with overmatch AP battleship??? the AP battleship shells are always so dispersed when shooting AP at the stationary angled CA.. especially the Germans.
As a newbie, thanks for explaining. But I have bad eyesight and have difficulty seeing the small scale, is there a better option? I know there are other's, but I think they are static. Also its great to hear someone encouraging casual players, not everyone wants to turn the game into a bloodsport. Some ppl like myself, just want to blow off steam. I find my shots are hitting 60% using fire and adjust and torps 30-50% on avg.
Thank you, I've been playing for some time now. So I'll put myself in the old dogs category ready to learn a few new tricks. I'm hoping you'll cover how to play carriers after the rework. (I just can't get the hang of them)
Good instructions. Thank you! At 11:07 The Jean Bart top speed is 30 knots. You chose the 20 knot scale and made a perfect hit. The course is angled against you: but how did you know that the actual speed was 20 knots?
Can't get the reticle mod to work. I downloaded the mod station and told it to install the mod before launching the game, but there is no drop-down to change to the modded reticle in the reticle selection menu.
This is honestly such a helpful video. It makes no sense though why WG don’t just add the modded crosshair as an option rather than having it in the official mod pack, which many newbies does not have.
Just found these the other day and have listened to the first 4. Most of my ships are Tier 6 and below, but I have to admit, after putting some of the hints into practice from Episode 3 - I have started getting some very high hit rates - at least in Co-op. Can't wait for the others.
I have never seen bullets or shells if that’s what you want to call them? travel so slow to it’s target till I started playing World of Warships seems like it takes forever and these maps are so small the ships are not very far apart even scaled down seems like only a couple of hundred yards and when I fire you can see how slow the shells travel thru the air and seems like it hovers over the target another 2 or 3 seconds before dropping and making contact now I’ve only been playing a few months but I’m not sure how I feel about theses slow traveling Salvos it’s very frustrating to me but I do find the game fun and sometimes relaxing to play at times and the Ships are very detailed hope they keep refining the look of the maps and ships for years to come.
Crunching numbers = taking the fun out of a game.... I NEVER use those numbers! .....just aim with your own experience and how you feel in the moment! Damnit!!!
The #1 Buffalo player played exactly 40 battles. You know he probably played in a division with lower tier ships just so he could have the leaderboard. WR gets thrown around a lot and I think it’s a pointless stat. If you do random battles without a division then your impact doesn’t matter. I’ve had games with over 200k and a kraken and lost badly and some games when I’m miserable and do like 25k and win. That tells me that one player doesn’t make the difference
9:48 Sorry, but I feel really dumb, you say Georgia is moving at 39.85 knots, and the way you say it is as if you are reading the info in real time, but I see nowhere ingame stating that info. Is this something you just know really specifically? Because before you were saying she moves at 40 knots, sorry, I'm confused.
Well, I knew those but still, seeing them in this video approves my methods are ok and still teaches me new things such as that new crosshair and why to choose it
The Russian ships should have the worst dispersion patterns. They were and are the worst navy of any major military power by FAR. Im brand new and I feel like as a German BB these random Russian BBs are shrugging off salvo after salvo. I don't fucking understand it.
Im currently grinding the Nelson, want a free prem BB to grind credits, Nelson any good or hang on to the free XP so when a bigger tier prem ship come along?
It depends, Nelson is a pretty good ship that' s going to teach you when to show broadside and when to angle. Sadly nowadays free xp ships are worth much more than they used to be and Nelson remains unchanged so she's very much worth it if you aren't gonna get another premium. If Missouri was still around I' d tell you to wait.
I have a problem using USN BB, currently playing North Carolina. It seems that whenever I fire, even at ranges like 10km, if I put the 'horizon' of the reticule at about the waterline vs a broadside target, the shells have a habit of donking into the water just short but if I am just a little higher, at maybe just below deck level, they go long and fly over the target and get maybe a couple of hits on the superstructure. Is this just the dispersion rng screwing me over or is there something I'm doing wrong?
Honestly this should be required watching for anyone before they get a Tier IV or higher ship. The number of people I encounter in tier 8/9/10 ships which can't shoot a ship traveling at an angle amazes me. I was in a recent battle and I pushed aggressively. It paid off and when I died with a kill, our team was up with only two ships dead to their five and we had all three caps. And of course you know what happens next .. yep we lost. I watched ship after ship fire on red ships with nubs of health and *poof* totally miss. And red would fire back and "blam" huge damage. The players just could not grasp that the enemy ships were traveling at an angle and they kept firing in front of it or behind it or to it's side. And of course every time they turned broadside on to the enemy to get a "good" shot off leaving themselves open to blasting. One of the players had a 40% win rate and over 9K games played. Makes me sick to think these people play the game and just cannot learn to do better (or refuse to do so even worse). I honestly think they could all do better if they tried to learn to do so. But they just don't care and their team mates pay the price with losses and lower rewards.
As someone who thinks he aims well but has lousy stats I would say it is not the aiming but the positioning/range that is the difference. I have watched many, many World of Warships videos and have literally gone frame-by-frame on a few to see how the best are aiming. I do the same. Aim is not my problem...range and positioning is my problem. Knowing what range to citadel various ships is the key...one I still suck at (I am way too eager and charge in and suffer for it...I know it and still do it).
This game is OK but I always match with pros and I have no chance of survival so it’s kind of annoying at the same time like get impossible task half the time
I've been playing WoWs for years now, and my aim stil is shit. Most of the time, my bullets land 200m in front and 20m behind target. In the same volley.
battleship ballistics still completely baffles me, shelles salling on on the waterline of cruisers, and BB's you get 3-4 overpens and a single penetrations, rarely do i get citadels. Even on stationary ships. The only reason i can come up with is desync, i have never been able to figure it out, and thats after 5000 matches
No wonder I suck at this game. I take pot shots at anything I see, see if the shells hit, and adjust my aim. Then by that time, they have changed course and rendering my adjustments useless, I dont pay attention to where im going and find myself getting focused to hell.
I've been shooting with one turret and seeing the difference between shotting lower and higher. Then did the real challenge. Loading guns does suck though.
You can have a look at the angle of the smoke coming out of the funnel, and the size of the bow wave to try and see if they are going half, full speed ECT.
(Pay no attention to the grumpy old sailor who made the previous comment.) Good job - shorter, yet expands a bit on the video you did on the Aslain nomogram sight, which apparently has now made prime time. Here is a tactical question: Ships with wonky dispersion. (German battleships, probably even after the minor buff they are getting in 8.11.) I understand that you get a different dispersion roll for each gun when you ripple-fire or individually fire. Assuming that is correct, what do you think of ripple fire, etc. versus salvo for these ships? 30 seconds (or so) is a long time to wait for the next shot if RNJesus goes thumbs down on a salvo and your shots shotgun into the next map over.
I pretty much only salvo fire BBs, you want maximum chance on a properly aimed salvo for maximum damage potential. It's why dev strikes are almost exclusively salvos
Great work chase, now we only have to convince WG to replace the utterly useless guides on their main website. If I didn't know better those guides WG put up are so garbage they want a poor player base! Cheers
1. Which mod is the little angle indicator under your shell flight time in bino mode? 2. Do you know what scale the Type 1 dynamic crosshairs are set at? I thought it was 30kn but they number spacing seems different than the Nomo dynamic 30kn number spacing.
Thanks for the video's :) I've been playing sinds beta but never got into the game fully. did grind up to Yamato (had that in Navyfield as well back in the day) but I suck at WOWs xD I feel these help so thanks for that.
I highly disagree with the usage of the crosshair numbers. If you need that to hit the target, that is already worse, than using a dot on a line in the middle of the screen.
Anyway if i am playing as a destroyer i just charge straight to the enemy battleships and when i am close, i just launch my torpedoes and i watch them get fuvked by my torpedoes.
I watched the first half of the video, changed my crosshair and tried it, and it was like a switch was flipped. But i was still having trouble with highly angled ships. so i came back and watched the second half, tried that technique and absolutely BLASTED a St with my FdG. unfortunately i was paying such close attention to the minimap that i ran right into an island before my shells landed and got distracted and missed the fireworks show. but thanks for the BLAT anyway, @iChaseGaming
I just started WoWs and have already a relatively decent grasp of aiming and leading. Now I find this tutorial and crosshair... Can't wipe that evil grin of my face. :D THIS mod I call borderline cheating. I will use it of course! ^^
How I aim: "so anyways, I started blasting"

Hilarious 🤣
The music makes me think of some Country Kitchen cooking episode
I was thinking that... Thought I had the wrong video.
I just take out German BB. No need to aim as dispersion handles that for you.
Can you make a video on how to aim with a spotting aircraft? I have yet to see any video in how to use a spotting plane for gunnery.
Personally when I'm aiming with a spotter plane at a broadside ship, I like to look at the target ship and visualize its citadel. Also, the circle and the target course line on the minimap help a lot.
Flamu has done a couple of videos on this topic. I'll give you the links to them. The first one with the Nagato helped me a great deal.

Yeah, it's definitely going to be an episode in this series, probably soon too
Yeah I generally avoid using the spotter plane simply because although it increases the range I just can't hit much with the perspective change. I instead take the fighter plane.
I was pretty bad at it, but after playing the Lazo for a while, I'm average now.
Talks about accuracy
Is in a Stalingrad
What dispersion
I wish there was a last 50 games setting for stats and stuff. Very difficult to see if you are improving if you already have 200-300 games in a ship that you have had for 4 or 5 years.
When I'm aiming I just look at the ships smoke and estimate the speed and I shoot, getting good results. Still waiting for Slava
I need to get a better graphics card, sometimes the smoke doesn't render or starts after you've been looking at the ship for a few seconds. wasting time.
I hate the ships that have flames and no smoke. Grr.
Until Nomogram becomes standard in the client I would also suggest some practice on the standard crosshairs as well. They may do a patch where Nomogram is not available, so being familiar the standard one is always a good idea too.
Which crosshair is the standard? I've been using Static 5 a lot. What annoys me is that none of the crosshairs move like in the video above.
I think it was dynamic@@AndrewWhiteKhanty
Thank you for making these Videos. The over all quality of WoWs players seems to be dropping like fly's. Even tho their are tonnes of CC vids teaching various skills. This is very well laid out and easy to digest.
Once again Thank You! And happy late Bday!
Thanks and yeah, I think a new series is needed since I've noticed just how bad things have gotten in game lately. Hopefully when I'm done, it'll help the overall population get a bit better
The game doesnt give me choices for the dynamic crosshair, and mine doesnt look anything like that, please help!
where do you get that crosshair? my dynamic settings in wows doesn't have the bottom number.
like he said go watch ep 2 lol
where do I find this crosshair? can't undestand what chase is saying
Haha, 1000+ games in and I didn’t know about the small circle on the minimal for to/from traveling angled ships. Nice video ichase
Adam Cook that’s circle is very useful to shoot at people behind the island
Great video Chase, is that sighting system in the official mod station?
U should try and show how to hit a gliding ship at the border and how they could use properly the spotting aircraft mode
stefanos perivolaris the speed that a ships moves along the border depends on the angle they are at compares to the border. Closer to 90 degrees slower, closer to 180 faster. That is really all you have as a tool. I suggest firing your guns spaced out to account for errors until you have a more accurate read on the enemy ships speed.
@@firewing1319 im a unicum i aready know those things xD
but i struggle with potato spotting plane still
The trick eith plane i have found is put the reticle on the ship and take a shot and see how shells land around it then adjust since each gun has its own archs
How high should my aim be against a ship? Should it be water line or middle? Is there a difference when I'm aiming at a moving vs a stationary target?
It all depends on what you're shooting at and with what. This game is really complex in that regard. If you're shooting BB AP at anything with a citadel, you'd love a chance at their waterline below the funnels against a broadside target. AP shells into the citadel is ideal whenever possible, but a lot of the time it just isn't possible. Beyond that, it really depends on whether your ship can overmatch their bow or stern.

Great video! I was wondering though, at about the 9:50 point in the video, you mention that the Georgia is moving at 39.85 knots...I didn't see that data on the screen...does that come from assuming the top speed of the ship with max modifiers?
How I aim: continually shoot until i hit the damn thing, (I use the Atlanta and Des Moines a lot)
2 remarks, if you are looking at a ship in wows-numbers in your ship list, if you click the Details link, you get a useful page that already compares you to the average for server and you can change that to top 5%, top 10% etc ... so no need to switch websites ... also does the Nomogram crosshair scale with binocular zoom ?
As to the speed, I may have missed it, but you could have explained how to check is the target has speed boost active and the peculiarity of the French speed boost ...
No mods for speed boost obviously, that's mostly going to be a game knowledge thing. It'll probably come up in one of these videos
Another video for this series? Awesome! I look forward to how this series will go
Seven Salty Seamen disliked this?! LOL
Better players equals better experience. Thanks for the guides Bro!
You're welcome :)
having about 400 hours in the game, i felt like i was hitting a wall with my skill improvement. i had no idea that different crosshairs could make such a big difference! definitely going to try it out and see if i can improve further or not
Nomograhm Crosshair? Is that what he said? And how to get it installed?

so why woulldnt these reticles be part of the normal game all the time, every time
? Why mods?
Good stuff, I come back to this vid when I get a bit despondent about my long-range shooting. Thanks for the series, great for a beginner.
Why is the game in 2021 nothing like these videos.
Im gonna say those guys with the high hit % and damage spend a lot of time farming damage on battleships whereas maybe you mostly go on seek and destroy missions against enemy DDs.

why that corsair have 2 measurement how do i get it
put these videos in a playlist please. will be helpful for binge watching! thank you!
ua-cam.com/play/PLoRQa0D7yVpc4bTSbXYZ8uHw-CSKvhvbp.html playlist :D
It's really annoying that all so called content creators keep showing off that cross hair, now all the noobs are going to start using it. Thanks a lot
That crosshair makes nailing DDs easier... the basic dynamic you almost have to x3 the time to distance to hit a speeding DD
Well, never been this early to any video.
I have found that with most ships with a good shell speed, that you can just put that small circle where the direction line and circle around the enemy ship on the map intersect, and hit the most of the time. It also gives a good starting point to get next shells on target. I usually don’t use the information on the sight when lining up shots. Obviously my shots are off if I haven’t played a ship in a while but I have always been good at just eyeballing it.
Why eyeball it when u can almost turn yourself into a manual fire control computer xD
iChaseGaming Part of it is the fact I use the stock dynamic sight which has some quirks where it is accurate on targets 20km out at 30knots. Past and before that you can’t follow the indicators exactly. Because of that I developed instinct for ship speed and where I should aim. I am sure using one the mod sights would help me be even better. Where do I find that official mods that you showed?
I’ve been using the nomogram Classic crosshair for about six months now and it’s improved my aim no end especially at long range.
Yeah! :D I'm glad you're getting positive results from it
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you install this crosshair? is it a mod or do I have to toggle some settings in the game, I can't seem to find it in the settings. I do have the steam version if It is helpful.
ZeroDefault it's a mod. I think it's in WG's own modstation.
9:50 How do you know Georgia is moving at 39.85 knots?
Can someone answer?
Thank you very much for this video! This is the best & most helpful tutorial on aiming I've ever found!:D
How do you freaking shoot a stationary over 60 degree angle Cruiser with overmatch AP battleship???
the AP battleship shells are always so dispersed when shooting AP at the stationary angled CA.. especially the Germans.
As a newbie, thanks for explaining.
But I have bad eyesight and have difficulty seeing the small scale, is there a better option?
I know there are other's, but I think they are static.
Also its great to hear someone encouraging casual players, not everyone wants to turn the game into a bloodsport.
Some ppl like myself, just want to blow off steam.
I find my shots are hitting 60% using fire and adjust and torps 30-50% on avg.
Thank you, I've been playing for some time now. So I'll put myself in the old dogs category ready to learn a few new tricks. I'm hoping you'll cover how to play carriers after the rework. (I just can't get the hang of them)
Good instructions. Thank you! At 11:07 The Jean Bart top speed is 30 knots. You chose the 20 knot scale and made a perfect hit. The course is angled against you: but how did you know that the actual speed was 20 knots?
Can't get the reticle mod to work. I downloaded the mod station and told it to install the mod before launching the game, but there is no drop-down to change to the modded reticle in the reticle selection menu.
This is honestly such a helpful video. It makes no sense though why WG don’t just add the modded crosshair as an option rather than having it in the official mod pack, which many newbies does not have.
The Video starts at 4:50
Just found these the other day and have listened to the first 4. Most of my ships are Tier 6 and below, but I have to admit, after putting some of the hints into practice from Episode 3 - I have started getting some very high hit rates - at least in Co-op. Can't wait for the others.
I have never seen bullets or shells if that’s what you want to call them? travel so slow to it’s target till I started playing World of Warships seems like it takes forever and these maps are so small the ships are not very far apart even scaled down seems like only a couple of hundred yards and when I fire you can see how slow the shells travel thru the air and seems like it hovers over the target another 2 or 3 seconds before dropping and making contact now I’ve only been playing a few months but I’m not sure how I feel about theses slow traveling Salvos it’s very frustrating to me but I do find the game fun and sometimes relaxing to play at times and the Ships are very detailed hope they keep refining the look of the maps and ships for years to come.
A REALLY helpful video Chase! ..... I just looked at my stats.... nowhere to hide from those, so time to get out there and try to apply your advice.
Crunching numbers = taking the fun out of a game.... I NEVER use those numbers! .....just aim with your own experience and how you feel in the moment! Damnit!!!
The #1 Buffalo player played exactly 40 battles. You know he probably played in a division with lower tier ships just so he could have the leaderboard. WR gets thrown around a lot and I think it’s a pointless stat. If you do random battles without a division then your impact doesn’t matter. I’ve had games with over 200k and a kraken and lost badly and some games when I’m miserable and do like 25k and win. That tells me that one player doesn’t make the difference
9:48 Sorry, but I feel really dumb, you say Georgia is moving at 39.85 knots, and the way you say it is as if you are reading the info in real time, but I see nowhere ingame stating that info. Is this something you just know really specifically? Because before you were saying she moves at 40 knots, sorry, I'm confused.
Well, I knew those but still, seeing them in this video approves my methods are ok and still teaches me new things such as that new crosshair and why to choose it
The Russian ships should have the worst dispersion patterns. They were and are the worst navy of any major military power by FAR. Im brand new and I feel like as a German BB these random Russian BBs are shrugging off salvo after salvo. I don't fucking understand it.
are u going to make a commentary of how to aim with a spotter plane?
yup, gonna work on that too
Thank you for that in advance.
Im currently grinding the Nelson, want a free prem BB to grind credits, Nelson any good or hang on to the free XP so when a bigger tier prem ship come along?
It depends, Nelson is a pretty good ship that' s going to teach you when to show broadside and when to angle. Sadly nowadays free xp ships are worth much more than they used to be and Nelson remains unchanged so she's very much worth it if you aren't gonna get another premium. If Missouri was still around I' d tell you to wait.
@@mishkata348 yea. I hate when content is set limited,
@@mab2187 good ship
I have a problem using USN BB, currently playing North Carolina. It seems that whenever I fire, even at ranges like 10km, if I put the 'horizon' of the reticule at about the waterline vs a broadside target, the shells have a habit of donking into the water just short but if I am just a little higher, at maybe just below deck level, they go long and fly over the target and get maybe a couple of hits on the superstructure. Is this just the dispersion rng screwing me over or is there something I'm doing wrong?
Fucking modstation never works. My nomogramm classic hasn't worked for about 2 weeks since a patch :(
Honestly this should be required watching for anyone before they get a Tier IV or higher ship. The number of people I encounter in tier 8/9/10 ships which can't shoot a ship traveling at an angle amazes me. I was in a recent battle and I pushed aggressively. It paid off and when I died with a kill, our team was up with only two ships dead to their five and we had all three caps. And of course you know what happens next .. yep we lost. I watched ship after ship fire on red ships with nubs of health and *poof* totally miss. And red would fire back and "blam" huge damage. The players just could not grasp that the enemy ships were traveling at an angle and they kept firing in front of it or behind it or to it's side. And of course every time they turned broadside on to the enemy to get a "good" shot off leaving themselves open to blasting. One of the players had a 40% win rate and over 9K games played. Makes me sick to think these people play the game and just cannot learn to do better (or refuse to do so even worse). I honestly think they could all do better if they tried to learn to do so. But they just don't care and their team mates pay the price with losses and lower rewards.
As someone who thinks he aims well but has lousy stats I would say it is not the aiming but the positioning/range that is the difference. I have watched many, many World of Warships videos and have literally gone frame-by-frame on a few to see how the best are aiming. I do the same. Aim is not my problem...range and positioning is my problem. Knowing what range to citadel various ships is the key...one I still suck at (I am way too eager and charge in and suffer for it...I know it and still do it).
Great vid. Please, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, use a American cruiser, such as the Seattle or Worechester!
This game is OK but I always match with pros and I have no chance of survival so it’s kind of annoying at the same time like get impossible task half the time
I've been playing WoWs for years now, and my aim stil is shit. Most of the time, my bullets land 200m in front and 20m behind target. In the same volley.
battleship ballistics still completely baffles me, shelles salling on on the waterline of cruisers, and BB's you get 3-4 overpens and a single penetrations, rarely do i get citadels. Even on stationary ships. The only reason i can come up with is desync, i have never been able to figure it out, and thats after 5000 matches

No wonder I suck at this game. I take pot shots at anything I see, see if the shells hit, and adjust my aim. Then by that time, they have changed course and rendering my adjustments useless, I dont pay attention to where im going and find myself getting focused to hell.
Cheating with hacks, exploits and mods doesn't make you better. Just destroys the game and suggests that you're trash without them.
I find funny that people still can't admit aimbots are running absolutely rampart in this game and they got really really good in past few years
instructions unclear my name is now pink
I've been shooting with one turret and seeing the difference between shotting lower and higher. Then did the real challenge. Loading guns does suck though.
I like these videos. You have the same feel as Spirit of the Law from Age of Empires II.
There is something missing in all this talk: relative speed. Is there a mod that will tell you the speed of the other vessel in relation to yours?
BUT HOW DO YOU KNOW HOW FAST THEY ARE ACTUALLY GOING THE INFO TAB DOESNT MATCH WHAT YOU ARE SAYING OR IS IT ALL JUST A GUESS...
You can have a look at the angle of the smoke coming out of the funnel, and the size of the bow wave to try and see if they are going half, full speed ECT.
how do you get all these message on screen like "armaments' lock on target" I do not get messg like that ???
Thank you for this video this has helped alot to improve my game 😊
i dont see what classic cross hair your talking bout. they have numbers not names
Five minutes in, still chatting about nothing...
How do i Get the same informations as you Do? you know how fast they are, cant finde it in the Options
Do pc players even need to aim? Geez the game\mods tells does everything for you lol
While good information I play blitze on my mobile and the information is negligible
Are you using a Dynamic reticle? My reticle doesn't adjust to the distance that i aim at
9:50 im missing something where do you see its exact speed 39.85
(Pay no attention to the grumpy old sailor who made the previous comment.) Good job - shorter, yet expands a bit on the video you did on the Aslain nomogram sight, which apparently has now made prime time. Here is a tactical question:
Ships with wonky dispersion. (German battleships, probably even after the minor buff they are getting in 8.11.) I understand that you get a different dispersion roll for each gun when you ripple-fire or individually fire. Assuming that is correct, what do you think of ripple fire, etc. versus salvo for these ships? 30 seconds (or so) is a long time to wait for the next shot if RNJesus goes thumbs down on a salvo and your shots shotgun into the next map over.
I pretty much only salvo fire BBs, you want maximum chance on a properly aimed salvo for maximum damage potential. It's why dev strikes are almost exclusively salvos
does your own speed affect the amount of lead when aiming?
It does not, the ship inertia is not carried over to the shells.
Great work chase, now we only have to convince WG to replace the utterly useless guides on their main website. If I didn't know better those guides WG put up are so garbage they want a poor player base! Cheers
Great! Thanks a lot!
*half of the shots land behind the ship third of them in front and rest overpen*
Sure would be easier to share this with my friends if we had a playlist going.
ua-cam.com/play/PLoRQa0D7yVpc4bTSbXYZ8uHw-CSKvhvbp.html and playlist!
>See own ship battery hit
Moksva 34% hit ratio
i guess Moksva guns not fast and accurate enough...
1. Which mod is the little angle indicator under your shell flight time in bino mode? 2. Do you know what scale the Type 1 dynamic crosshairs are set at? I thought it was 30kn but they number spacing seems different than the Nomo dynamic 30kn number spacing.
Thanks for the video's :) I've been playing sinds beta but never got into the game fully. did grind up to Yamato (had that in Navyfield as well back in the day) but I suck at WOWs xD I feel these help so thanks for that.
Damn dispersion: 10 shells, 1 hit, 9 straddle
cool, now do one with ap so the british ships are useful to new guys
I highly disagree with the usage of the crosshair numbers. If you need that to hit the target, that is already worse, than using a dot on a line in the middle of the screen.
Again, for other crosshairs sure, but Nomogram is different. Is actually scaled mostly right for the shell travel time
first i was confused of the shooting till i look at the he and fire area zone im an idiot xd
Maybe something about choosing the reticle?
Top Video. Frage kannst du die mal in Deutsch machen. Hab es nicht so mit englisch.
Anyway if i am playing as a destroyer i just charge straight to the enemy battleships and when i am close, i just launch my torpedoes and i watch them get fuvked by my torpedoes.
and while you're watching you get killed by their secondary because you're a destroyer
If you want to get good, simply watch yuro
So helpful. Thanks.
I watched the first half of the video, changed my crosshair and tried it, and it was like a switch was flipped. But i was still having trouble with highly angled ships. so i came back and watched the second half, tried that technique and absolutely BLASTED a St with my FdG. unfortunately i was paying such close attention to the minimap that i ran right into an island before my shells landed and got distracted and missed the fireworks show. but thanks for the BLAT anyway, @iChaseGaming
These videos are great!! VERY useful. Just got into WoW after my first pc build and I'm loving it. Ty!
Just to make it clear, you use mods that are not accepted by WoWS therefore without risking none can have the aim scale you have.
Doesn't mean it's banned
I’m digging this series of videos. Very informative and useful. I wish I had learned a lot this when I first started playing
Thanks :D
I just started WoWs and have already a relatively decent grasp of aiming and leading. Now I find this tutorial and crosshair... Can't wipe that evil grin of my face. :D
THIS mod I call borderline cheating.
I will use it of course! ^^
