i have been noticing alot that targeting has changed where i have to go alot more infront of my target to hit it alot of the time with dd's at range i am nearly off the screan and bb's the front of them are at 10 on my range finder. before it wasnt to bad you selected a target and hold alt it told you the travel time of the shell this could be used as roughly 1 per line it doesnt seem to be the case anymore has WG changed this and are other noticing or is it just me?

yeah, it feels different, as in worse.

 

More lead necessary and more prone to shooting islands in front of the ship I'm trying to aim at.

I've felt the same thing recently. DDs barely visible and BBs about a full hash mark more.

They do change things without announcing it and if this is one of them it's a significant step back.

I really think it did. I had all my ships down to a chart, and its all different now using the same gunsight and zoom level. What used to be:  Zoom out once, aim at "5" became aim at "6". But the previos "6" is now actually "8" 

 

Weird.

I am glad WG isn't remaking Chess.  (Let's see, maybe change the Bishop to a Knight.)

i have noticed nothing. im leading the same as before and hitting as i expect...lots of confirmation bias in this thread. could be desync or other connection issues among other things like the target slowing down or speeding up to avoid fire.

It seems to me that they have slowed down all shell flight times. You have to target ships now with the ship actually off the edge of the screen. Probably some crap attempt at fixing the aimbot mechanics.

I haven't noticed any difference. I don't use hash marks though, find its too unreliable given the various ranges and speeds a ship could be moving at.

It all depends..

Captaining/Gunnery: What ship(s) are you referring to?

Targeting/Enemy: What are your targets? Type/Nation etc.

 

Every new ship I unlock has its own quirks one must adjust & become accustomed to.

Every target you aim at has their own aiming requirements. Example - Shooting at a faster IJN BB at 18km requires more lead than a USN BB at the same distance.

 

Try playing as many ships as I play regularly across the Tiers. Each one has their own little +'s & -'s and every enemy I face requires a different approach.

 

Personally: I see zero difference in the amount of lead required to shoot enemies from Tier I up to Tier X(targets) with my Tier 2's up to Tier 8's that I am piloting.

Only difference I noticed was going from the 14 inch shells of the kongo/fuso to the 16 inch shells of the nagato mostly because the high speed shells are taking a bit to adjust to.

I have noticed it too. I have to aim really far ahead to the point i  can barely see the other ship when i fire at max range. It happened to all nations too. My hindenburg is way off. No longer firing lasers.
