What is a good hit ratio?

[Malryn]

What should I consider to be a good hit ratio for playing a BB? My Fuso was around 23%, Nagato is at 25%, and surprisingly the tripitz is at 31%. Considering dispersion with these guns, I would think getting over 50% pretty darn hard unless I get within the 10 km range in a lot of battles.

I am at 28% across all ships/types.  I don't use an aiming mod and I bet those that do have superior hit ratios.

I don't think hit rate is super important in this game due to the nature of dispersion and the long ranges involved when shooting. BBs have those factors amplified as well.

For the ships that you've brought up my hit rates are very similar and I think your hit rate all by itself is acceptable, but again, hit rate isn't the most important factor when it comes to BB main guns.

 

What is more important IMO, is average damage done. Are your hits actually doing the damage they need to be doing in order to kill enemies? Are you reliably getting regular penetrations and hitting citadel zones?

Getting good damage is a more reliable factor of determining whether you've got a particular BB's play-style nailed down.

What about the guided pigeon mode? Any success?

My BBs tend to have ~30% hit rate, ~40% for CAs, ~50%+ on DDs. Torpedo hit rate tends to be around 10% (curse torps hitting dead ships not counting as hits)

I'd say 25% is probably the floor of what's "good", but until you've played about 50 battles or more in each battleship there's probably enough pure RNG to make it irrelevant.  Hit rate isn't a very important stat.  It can give you an idea of whether you're spending too much time in a battle at maximum range, but you should always be firing your guns if you have a chance to hit a target, so don't hold your fire just to boost your hit rate.  Always be dealing damage, yada yada, etc etc.

I'm around 25% average hit rate with BBs.

 

I'm sure my average damage will go up if my hit rate increases, because I do notice that I waste some salvos due to aiming at a ship that understands how to dodge.
