48 [PNP] AdmiralOthuyeg Members 144 posts 10,528 battles Report post #1 Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Ever since the latest miniupdate I have had this weird feeling that dispersion has been increased. No, I am not just a new player whining about the RNG. The ships I have experimented with are the North Carolina, Iowa and the Yamato. Am I crazy? I feel like my average damage per round has been almost halved. Also when I look at my shells, they just seem to fly in a pattern you'd expect from a can of spraypaint.

With both the US and Japanese BB lines fully researched, I believe I have a pretty good idea on where to aim.

I just see the shells going all over the place ever since 0.6.2.1 Since the last patch, I've noticed more dispersion weirdness and wonky shell POI vs. POA, and it's either a clearly noticeable string of unfavorable RNGs or it's a change to nerf BBs. Yesterday, I was <6km from a beached broadside cruiser in the Colorado- the entire volley missed in a HUGE shotgun pattern. Another game yesterday in the Bayern I was <0.5km from a trailing low health BB that was mostly bow on and trying to ram me- all shells went high AND wide by more than the width of the enemy ship. Neither has ever happened before separately, and both happened the same day. I've noticed other wonky BB shots since the last patch, but those two stand out.

304 surratus Members 920 posts 4,023 battles Report post #12 Posted March 16, 2017 Sometimes I think it would be funny if WG developers just fiddled with one parameter or two each update, then sat back and watched the forums go nuts for a while - just for laughs...who'd know? They're probably all envious of the URL person...years of studying computer science and some web designer gets the attention and the big raise. Say, while we're on the subject, can anyone explain why the number three turret on my Wyoming always misses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
9,848 [NMKJT] KiyoSenkan Beta Testers 24,800 posts 3,895 battles Report post #13 Posted March 16, 2017 The 160k damage game I had today in Yamato begs to differ. Confirmation bias. You had some bad luck. It happens. People claim battleship accuracy has been stealth-nerfed after literally every patch and it always turns out to be confirmation bias and a bit of bad luck with no changes actually made.

101 Magic_Fighting_Tuna Members 824 posts 3,984 battles Report post #19 Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) I haven't experienced any unusual RNG lately just odd penetrations. With an alarming regularity every time I hit a broadside cruiser at under 9km the dang shells keep over penning instead clobbering it. Like the other day a hipper passed broadside at 5.4km and it ate 8 shells in the center mass just above the water line and kept on trucking with only 6000 HP lost.

179 Granitebeard Alpha Tester 1,635 posts 9,525 battles Report post #21 Posted March 16, 2017 I have felt the same, and have been glad I have been saving shots of my results screens for a while ( and I have the detailed ribbons to thank for it). It seems every few months RNG puts a tight curl right on my gun sights, and I get strings of games where I manage 60k damage by the skin of my teeth and the number of over pens and miss goes up. In about 2 weeks I will be hitting like normal again. Is it me, the game or just RNGsus, no one knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like the other day a hipper passed broadside at 5.4km and it ate 8 shells in the center mass just above the water line and kept on trucking with only 6000 HP lost. I agree with this one. In the last two/three days I've been over-penning cruiser hulls and ricocheting off of BB superstructures... Weird times... I suppose I've been needing to get a good whack to my face for having such good luck over the last two months I suppose. Like three citadel hits off of the third turret of the izumo on an Iowa.
