Thunderstorm and St. Elmo's fire, jamming radiosignals. And a nighttime, of course. MACHICOLATIONS!!! SEARCHLIGHTS!!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACHICOLATIONS!!! SEARCHLIGHTS!!! Searchlights yes. Because night reasons and it gives them a purpose instead of looking pretty on a ship. Especially since when you increase displacement in game more is add to the deck. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turrets will no longer use only two gun barrels for aiming: Previously the triple turrets (and now the new quad guns) fired only a dual salvo per turret for bracketing salvoes (something that was commonly conceived as a bug). Now al Yaay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The southren lights? Aurora Borealis? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your kitchen? Yes! May I see it?

Zuikaku Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 What happened to the crew and crew mechanics? Wasn't that planned for the alpha8? And what are the chances for earlier campaign start (1880 or 1870) and ironclads? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tousansons Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I remember reading that crew and their mechanic was scheduled for the first iteration of the campaign. We all know what happened from there. Still eager to try the new formation mechanics with an hopefully improved pathfinding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonicB Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Just had a thought. With the improvements to formations, will we also see improved targeting logic, or more options in targeting? Historically it was standard practice for each ship to concentrate on its opposite number in the battle line, in order to facilitate spotting and ensure no enemy ship was able to aim and fire without disruption. At present, there is very little control over individual ships' targeting when in formation, and we often find ships impractically concentrating their fire or shifting targets unnecessarily. I therefore nearly always separate my ships with follow commands in order to maintain control. My ideal solution would be threefold : Targeting preferences for a formation as a whole: Target In-Line (default), Target Lead, Target Rear and Free Targeting (what we have now.) Individual targeting overrides for each ship when in formation. For even better control, the option to targeting by calibre for both formations and ships, not by an arbitrary 'primary/secondary' division. For instance, 8" and 2" secondaries should not both be aiming at torpedo boats. Failing that, the addition of a 'tertiary' category (2"-4") for small calibre weapons on large ships. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuikaku Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Whats all this about Warthunder? From what I have seen about WT ship combat it is just another (brainless) shooter where you score multiple hits with first salvo. Although graphics and ship models are excellent it's just not it!

No. In case of Warships like Destroyers or Cruisers you need to shoot at certain areas otherwise you will basically do no damage. Sure you don't need to aim for certain parts of the ship, you can just aim at the middle part and hope that you will either burn him down by hitting his fuel tanks and engine or kill the crew members but this will take you a while especially when shooting at anything bigger than a Destroyer. It is always the best way to aim at enemy turrets and bellow them to either knock the turrets out or hit the ammunition storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think targeting individual components was even remotely possible in dreadnought era unless at point blank range. As I said WT ship combat is a cadual shooter game and not a naval simulator. WT is upgraded MMO version of Battlefield 1942 which is not bad. But it is not realistic naval sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
