Kongo guns keeps unaligning

[Medevil]

Gun keeps  unaligning and seems like a pain getting them to line up on the target.Doesn't seem to do it this bad on the Fuso,Nagato and Amagi.

Not quite sure from your description but you maybe out turning your turret traverse?  Kongō is susceptible to this more than her pokier stablemates.  Try more shallower half turns and you should be able to keep them laid more easily.

Or stop turning and sail in a straight line. An opposing DD will fix your problem...

Okay. I admit it. StarSlayer is right - twice. My advice was only good for me...

Kongo has slow turret traverse so you need to either stop your turn before firing or go to 1/2 rudder and you will be fine.

Seems like I get the sights on target and then they barley move and I can't get them sighted in for another 30 seconds.

Love this ship, last night three salvos at 14km aimed at a stinking Cleveland (hate that tub) hit every square inch of water around that thing, two hits.

Does turning effect the targeting that much or was I just sucking....wasn't turning hard but?

Nope, welcome to the built in 30% hit rate.

 

No matter what you do, the game will ALWAYS try to set a BBs hit rate at 30%

 

 

The only exception is at point blank range (less than 1km). But its still amazing how many shots will splash water instead of hitting even at that range as the game struggles to force that %30!

If there's a characteristic I'd ascribe to all the IJN lines, it's 'fast ships outturn their turrets'.
