Naval Aiming Reticle

[Sawedoff]

Came back after a long hiatus. Wondering if its possible to change the aiming reticle and aiming in Naval battles back to the old one? I hate this new one.

You really, really need to explain WTF you're talking about.

Don't get me wrong, people do keep coming in saying things like this.

As someone who played Naval both literally last night and when it first went open, I'm still not clear on what they're referring to.


...Also depending on what you're talking about saying whether you mean AB or RB may be a key point.

Pretty sure they mean the new overall aiming system, was different before, don't remember the exact details though. I personally prefer the new system, but maybe I never gave naval a fair shake before.

Probably both modes as well

The overall aiming system is sharply different between RB and AB. AB has the weird circle target predictor, and has garbage range control UI. RB is as far as I can tell almost exactly the same as ever except for the addition of the lead indicator caret.

Don't forget range correction ISN"T BOUND BY DEFAULT and has this weird drift when you actually scroll fast enough to adjust it.

I'll agree that AFAIK it isn't bound by default.

But it wasn't bound by default when Naval first came out either.

I guess the new aiming system altogether. I hate it trying to aim for me. Trying to predict where shells are going to land for coastal craft is also ridiculous. Let me make my adjustments. Isn't that part of the game?

Whatever they have done has killed Naval battles for me.

Yeah the old aiming system was superior.

What do you think it's 'predicting'? It's just displaying your aimpoint. It doesn't account for movement at all. Knowing where your gun is pointing seems like a bare minimum expectation.

try, these 2 and see if they are what you are after.
1: -controls -naval -miscellaneous -manual aim correction. can still lock onto a ship but doesn't auto range the shells. (will track a target but you have to adjust the shots manually.)
2: -controls -naval -camera controls -target pointing. gives "free aim" no locking onto ships fire where you want.
