can we unite over the auto aim issues guys?

Bugs

I am seeing more and more people reporting problems with the auto aims snap on mechanic and it's been going up over the last few months and seems to be degrading.

Can we start to unite on this as every time it's mentioned it seems to be ignored/glossed over and if it carries on degrading in a few months there going to be real issues.

For me I've had it just total freeze on random points, the sky, the sea and so far away from the enemy idk what the heck it's doing. Yet behind 3 island 18km away the snap on seems to works near perfect everytime, I get it should just snap on perfect 1st time everytime however the state it's in now is actually affecting gameplay and costing winning shots in 1 on 1 situations.

If more of us keep on about this hopefully it will finally get looked into and hopefully fixed.

WG is already aware of the community's reports and looking into it.

If you can capture video of it, they would probably appreciate it.

Are the because I've not actually seen anyone from WG respond to these?

Fair enough if they are just haven't seen it myself from then on about 3/4 months

It's been mentioned on Discord a few times.

Yeah it's been mentioned but at this point it's gone on sooo long that it's hard to understand why/how they haven't diagnosed and fixed it yet.

Reminds me of the post launch collision bug they couldn't fix for how long?

I kind feel this hits the nail, I always see on the post people say it's been around ages, and I would have thought considering half the game is based around aiming it would have been a higher priority

Ah the least used platform 😂 unfortunately only check the discord once in a while. That would explain it

It has almost 2x as many members as the subreddit.

You should check it more; has much more direct dev interaction.

All they need to do is watch any community contributor video on Youtube, it's in every single one because it seems to happen about 1 in 5 times when you zoom in. What more do they need.

For me, the best way to avoid it seems to be to allow the zoom out (i.e. when you switch out of sniper mode) to finish before zooming back in. If you zoom in and out too often that's when it seems to get confused and aim for the moon.

How about they just give darling Robin a day off just playing the game, as a means of testing their OWN product instead of having us do it for them for free? JS.

Maybe make it a 'meet the moderator' in game event? If they would prefer a pr spin for it...

Yup. Properly awful these last few days. Torps in particular refuse to lock on

This has been an issue for as long as I’ve been playing which has been since March of 2020. They play their own game so they obviously know about it and just don’t care. Good thing all that time was spent on stuff like mobile instead of fixing basic QOL things like this!

Been away from the game for over a year - there were some issues back then, but it seems like they are worse now than back then.

Lost a few Arena DD battles where auto aim flat refused to select the DD in close proximity and picked the ship behind. Manually selecting it was the only option but by then you’re nearly dead…….it is definitely worse recently.

I can agree to this, I just have an issue with it zooming to places where there's nothing or moving further away than where you aimed from.

I've never experienced this at all, I must be super lucky. Is it constant or something that happens sometimes?

1

Same here. I have bad stick drift on my controller but it’s definitely not that. Its especially annoying in cruisers since I like to aim out after almost every shot, And when you aim back in your aimed at a random spot of ocean. Feels like I’m fighting the controls more than the enemy haha

It drives me nuts, has me looking at the sky sometimes.

Think it has become worse recently. Happens more frequently. Lost quite a few 1v1s because the auto aim doesn't lock on the target and zooming it in & out does nothing for about 10 secs. Thought it was a BB issue (initially noticed it on my Georgia), but during the last arena happened with Alaska a bunch of times and then on the Khaba once or twice. Happens more with Main guns but also a few times with torps

No, no, no. 32mm plating on legendary tier cruisers is far more game breaking
