This way the camera zooms out and I can see my ship, it gives me a better overview and enables me to change course while firing, making me a difficult target. http://forum.worldofwarships.com/index.php?/topic/50913-simple-teamwork-tactics-firing-from-the-hip/page__p__1255082#entry1255082 Edited October 22, 2015 by Trigger_Happy_Dad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you can click Fire while holding down right click? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although a lot of ships will do that IF a target is in auto track.... ? Edited October 22, 2015 by pmgaudio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty cool, that CV in the video was probably not a happy camper Edited October 22, 2015 by slak96u 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have special heat shields when they re-enter the atmosphere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure it's a lemon, but this is lemonade you can make out of it. Edited October 22, 2015 by Destroyer_Harusame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless they patched it recently. My shells always go to the point at which I aim them (e.g. island) rather than going over it even with high arc ships that should have no problem clearing the land in the way.
