You know rng and dispersion are bad when

[LordCommanderMatthew]

You decide to ram the enemy because your shots keep splicing by going over or under your target even at 10 or even 8 km distance i got so fed up not hitting this new mexico in my kongo i just rammed him. When your games systems are so frustrating battleship wise that i find ramming a much more viable option than my main battery fire then maybe its time to fix it because out of a full kongo salvo 8 or so shells and only 1 or 2 of those land where i aimed you need to do something to make battleships more skill based and not luck based hell i throw confetti when a citadel hit happens i am like shocked when it happens my god its a miracle

well for one thing i also captain cruisers and in those i have 30 percent on average accuracy i often take pot shots at dds so it lowers it a bit but when i fire shells alot more land on my target mark and the grouping on the shells is tighter and alot more shots land rather than going all over the place like my guns are bent

Needs more punctuation. :/

[IgnoramBus]

Ramming is a perfectly valid tactic if they let you get that close....

sorry i use my tv as my screen so some sites such as this one come in so small text wise i could not see a period or comma if i tried lol

In cruisers you want closer to 40% accuracy... just fyi

Here is my motto you miss one hundred percent of the shots you do not take sure i have a low chance to hit that dd at 13 km in my cruiser but i will still take that shot. No need to pad stats if i see a ship i find a way to fire at it as long as its a threat to me or my team

[Compassghost]

You miss 100% of shots you do not take, and 90% of shots you take poorly. Losing 15 seconds of reload time to favorable situations is worth it.

what what?... I said accuracy should be around 40%... that has nothing to do with padding stats... and everything to do with putting round on target...

 

and Battleship Accuracy should be around 30%...Aim better, take you time... cause your reload is 30 secs on average ...

whatever guys ignore the games issues everyone else has problems with bbs at the moment i aim fine lead the targets fire shells looks like they will hit center of the ship yet they splice all over thats how broken bbs are atm your shells hardly ever go where aimed. i was hoping for some decent talk about the rng and dispersion problems with battleships instead i get people who are elitist and just blame some ones aim rather than the true problem in the game but that's fine i thought forums were here to discuss the issues with a game. Nope instead any time someone post a topic about issues such as rng and dispersion on bbs  or the horrid manual drops or the insane amounts of exp needed for the next ship instead of talking about the problem and asking for it to be fixed you have a bunch of people such as yourself who think they are better than everyone sit on a throne of gold and think this game has no issues well you go ahead and think that in your narrow minded world but i have had it last time i ever bother with these toxic forums full of elitist people who think this game is flawless and anything broken is just the fault of the person sailing the ship excuse me i expect my shots to go where i damn well aimed them and i know my aim is not off because i aim the same way in my cruisers and other vessels and get alot more hits than i do in battleships. So fine guys put on the blinders ignore the games problems have fun living in that world where no one expects devs to fix anything just because you think everything is great. HAVE fun on your throne i will shelve bbs till they are fixed but with how much elitism happens on these forums no wonder the devs will never fix it because of people like you who say its fine and dandy.

Had that happen once on my Myogi.  I had 7 hits at the end of the 9min match because shots kept heading in all directions except where I had the crosshair.  It was to this day the single worst match I ever played in a BB combining CBT and OBT.  I just got fed-up and rammed a 80% health Kongo for like 45k damage.

 

 

Had like 12k in AP, 7k in HE (+3k fires) and 45k ramming damage.  For a victory of something like 2k exp.  Not stellar but certainly better that what I'd have gotten from a non-ram scenario.

Ramming BB's is very good tactics if the scores/health of your ship warrants it.

He was probably in a battleship and those don't shoot shells but bird shot.

Some ppl are doing extremely well with BB's with the game's current iteration.  But I do agree BB's needs to be changed somewhat.  Shelving BB is the perfect way to tell the Devs:"No more of this... fix it!" better than posting on forums.  Personally I haven't played more than a match here and there for the last week and a half, as I am also tired of the BB situation.   Heck I'm better than all my friends with the class; still does not mean it's working good enough.  IF / when the devs see the numbers they might go: "Umm... we might need to address this".

 

 

Don't take it personally, there is a lot of ppl (great ppl mind you) on the forums that are Anti-BB-Buff, no matter what you'll say.

Just be relaxed, civil, and post your mind when appropriate and a thread comes our way.

Keeping accuracy at 40% is 100% padding stats. Thats never shooting into smoke - never shooting at a dd at long range - never shooting at a dodging enemy - never taking a blind shot in general. 40% is about the number you can expect on well aimed shots at targets that aren't dodging - the number is practical useless.

Wall of Text.... TLDR

 

I play BBs about 60% of the time.... dispersion can be annoying, however the Kongo is an extremely accurate BB with a very low dispersion rate for its tier... if you are hitting 30% of the time with it, it basically means you are only hitting with 2-3 shells at most per salvo...

 

but because I did not agree with you, you go on a rant about excuses... sorry but my time is spent elsewhere, enjoy continuing to miss because you refuse to look in the mirror.

I kill DDs at over 10k range all the time...some people are just good at aiming with cruisers dude.
