There is one other thing that you can and should do. Go into co- OP battles and find out just how the guns shoot in terms of dispersion. Fire one turret at a time. See where the shots land. This is easiest at long range. You do not need to be shooting at ships when you do this. Shoot at an island. Some ships shoot better than others. One example. Tier 4 British BB Orion. When firing a full broadside one shot will always go wide left and one right. Plus there is a certain amount of range error across the shots. For ships with precision aiming check both ways. You only get so many chances. Plus a reload booster really helps other wise the second salvo might not get in under the wire. At closer range the above mentioned Orion can land 10 shots on target but they will not be concentrated at the intended point of impact. Plus when shooting HE at destroyers that show broadside they can easily delete them. This is most effective shooting at ships who's detection range is greater than their torpedo range. Good destroyer players will never give you the opportunity to do so. And it gives noobs and poorer players an object lesson.
Yes, I use bot battles for research quite a lot. If you've got a friend at hand, you can also go into the training room. It's really important to get to know your guns
very nice. this is more like "how to aim", by saying "where" i was expecting this to be about aiming at the center/superstructure/bow/stern etc. that kind of thing. maybe its just me
Personally, after playing for 2 years, you start to learn after a few weeks or so from trial and error on where to shoot. Each ship has different dispersion, shell ballistics, so you need to play a few rounds with each ship to learn it. This is a good video for new players to watch, I see many completely missing their shots.
I have been having some aiming issues lately. Now that is probably due to lag because I Have been getting lag lately but at certain angles my shots look like they hit but they miss. The enemy also doesn’t move so am I unlucky or am I not aiming right?
Heya Terry, nice video on how to aim!!! Ps: I am that Emerald who rushed you in the end cuz you know my team was not doing well so I thought eh why not? And rushed you, well played sir (I should have wiggle more tbh).
Good quick tutorial, but you missed couple caveats.. RNG and dispersion where it doesn't matter if your aim is on, it will just miss or bounce. Just after completing the Black Beyern blitz event, I've been getting a lot more misses with it. Missing against full stationary broadside battleships and cruisers at 8km. DDs that run into and stuck on islands within 6km.. full misses. It's like they made it awesome for the event so you spend money to get it, then once the event is over, they either nerfed the dispersion or just gave it the worst RNG ever.
And then After New Years they give you a deal on the Scharnhorst at 75% off. If I had just bought it in December I would be really frosted 😖 I jumped on her and to tell the truth I like her better than the Beyern
I don't think RNG is changed outside updates... yes, it does play a role, but since you can't influence it as a player, the one thing you can do is get the best possible aim :)
I do almost every technique you say but I still either overshoot or there's that sweet spot that I can't seem to get but I love the way you can put holes in that cheeser 🤣 my old lady's German to guten tag
hello!! i have a quick question. have you played on other servers? ive been playing on asia for a while and planning to switch servers to learn some new playstyle. if you have, could you give me some tips when playing on NA or EU
I don't know about EU, I'm playing on Asia occasionally, and my personal account is on NA. I generally find playing on Asia slightly harder. The top tier meta feels extremely BB heavy, pretty much like NA used to be before the USN CL and Italian cruisers. I barely see any cruisers there, mostly Yamas and the occasional Shima. And CVs. Playstyle is super defensive. On NA, I'd say you'll see more combined forces battles, with aggressive DDs, and a fair amount of cruisers in the mix. Top-tier battles can still be defensive, but less so, and mid-tier often is just outright mayhem. That's just my general impression. Varies from battle to battle, of course.
@@FunandGameswithTerry I see, thank you very much. It's been really hard to play because most of the BBs I've played with are just camping at long range, and I get blasted off immediately in a Cleveland when I try to move a bit forward to cap since no one does even DDs
I realize you have a full schedule between work, family, videos and life in general. But one thing that I think the newer players (and certain older ones could stand) is to be introduced to the concept of etiquette in the game. Not so much kill stealing because we all do it once in while. What I mean is ship handling etiquette. There are some players in the game who well intentionally cut across your bows. And when you attempt to turn away they just turn into you. I realize collisions happen. Often because someone is trying to avoid torps. But playing like Beevis's buddy is something else. Some times I wish that the developers would bring ramming tactics into Blitz. Plus a penalty for causing damage or intentionally shooting at a teammate.
It’s hard to explain.... for fast cruisers and destroyers aim short if they are near (probably a bad thing) and if they are far aim really long although plunging fire doesn’t really do much even if it’s HE. If your opponent suddenly stops they’re most likely reversing so aim more back ish or just slightly behind the center. If they are turning then kind of “feel” their turn speed and if they are turning inward shoot clockwise above the ship if they are turning outward shoot counter clockwise (obviously) mostly depends on the range and the dispersion of your ship. This won’t really help a lot when your in a battleship shooting at a carrier that is turning way too fast because it’s paranoid.... lol.... I’m legend league so you can depend on the short tips I just gave :) Edit: also aim at the citadel which is normally below the ship a bit but in the case of destroyers they don’t have a citadel just aim at their center
I don't know where the citadel is at this point, and I am in legend league too. The belt armor is strong, so I just aim at the line between the deck and belt.
@@ts241 It exists sometimes plunging fire from a battleship to carrier usually results as a citadel i aim really low but not below the water as a battleship against cruisers
If your enemy notices your here then shoot one at the aiming come and one behind the aiming cone in case he stops if he doesn’t know your there then just shoot both at the aiming cone if he is in a full turn in then shooting at half the aiming cone which I mean as if he is turning right in towards you then shoot well left half of the aiming cone I can’t explain this well in words.
Yes, if you've played enough battles, especially if you're getting "used to" a certain ship, it's pretty much automatic. For new players, not so much - I can often dodge whole salvos in mid-tier battles in a BB just by not doing what they're predicting.
Like all the USN CLs from Dallas onwards, Seattle has very slow shells. The long flight time makes hitting DDs at range very difficult. These ships need to get close, ideally around 5-6km, to deal with DDs effectively. Against larger targets, you can abuse the high angles and rain HE over islands from long range. So while you have all the tools to deal with DDs, you do need to keep an eye on your positioning, and not be baited into enemy BB fire.
The American fighter pilot Dick Bong did a lot grouse hunting and skeet/trap shooting. He credited greatly with his deflection shooting in air to air combat. Chuck Yeager grow up hunting for the pot and he said the same thing. I normally play the right side with a stylus on a tablet. Sometimes when I go to shoot I move my aim point 😖
The closer the target the closer to center of mass you can aim. One good rule of thumb is at around 6 to 7km place the aiming pointer pretty much on the bow of the target.
I know WW2 is the reason Germany was split into E/W Germany, but I think there should be an event for premium German ships and a discount on tech tree ones for the German day of reunification for the week of October 3rd. We get events like that for Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day and I think for the end of ww2. Plus I think German ships are under appreciated
@@FunandGameswithTerry during the holidays it was very bad.. only afk or total donkeys going sightseeing.. they need to be time banned for such honestly
Thanks for this tutorial! I'm learning to brawl medium-close range with secondary cannons with broadsides but I'm not very good in long range.
Helo Terry, happy new year, wish you the best and with your family
Its been 2 month since my last game, and its very good to be back
welcome back!

they sorta do, in providing the press account for me to experiment with stuff and review

There has been noticeable server lag at times
Yeah my game also lags quite a lot now
I guess that it's an issue with the game
Yes. It worries me when an enemy ship stops moving. It either means that they have either stopped, or that my game has lagged a lot.
@@Shadow-sq2yj
And then they miraculously teleport themselves somewhere else
Let's be benevolent and say it's lag :)
Understanding this skill as a cruiser player to hit destroyers is invaluable !
Invaluable? Its essential.

That really summarises this game doesn't it: "you need to learn"
Believe me, I still do, and I've been playing this game since it came out.
I can't seem to see the smoke trail from any ship. Regardless of their location.
Very Interesting.

Cit location in this game is not really existent. Best bet is deck/plunging. Don’t aim at or below the waterline in most cases
I don't know where the citadel is at this point, and I am in legend league too. The belt armor is strong, so I just aim at the line between the deck and belt.
@@ts241 It exists sometimes plunging fire from a battleship to carrier usually results as a citadel i aim really low but not below the water as a battleship against cruisers
@@Shadow-sq2yj Most of the time i just aim at the middle part
@@quantumfruitz so do I, but I rely on the plunging fire going through the deck.
Now all i need is some good internet
I'm new comer watching this because I keep missing with my Kaiser XD
This video is too obvious for me but will help new players. Thanks
Yeah, I'm trying to keep it really simple with this series for new players.
Hey Terry could you also make a video for torpedo aiming
If your enemy notices your here then shoot one at the aiming come and one behind the aiming cone in case he stops if he doesn’t know your there then just shoot both at the aiming cone if he is in a full turn in then shooting at half the aiming cone which I mean as if he is turning right in towards you then shoot well left half of the aiming cone I can’t explain this well in words.
Yes, that's on the list for this series.
I rely on my gut feeling most of the time.
