AIMBOT CHEATERS

[Wizard of Aus.]

I liked the game but I'm tired of gutless cheats using AIMBOT. PATHETIC. So this lets you feel like you're a winner?? Think again and grow up.

This game has ridiculous amounts of autoaim involved - to the point where you can be aiming at islands inches away from your target and still have the autoaim reward you with a perfect salvo.
Aimbots aren't necessary.

This game has aiming which is trivially easy if with even just a little practice.
Aimbots aren't necessary.

This game has shell travel time; aimbots cannot premptively read people's minds to know which direction they will sail their ship after the shells have been released.
Aimbots aren't particularly effective.

Aimbots do not allow a ship to overmatch thick armour protecting a citadel; they do not stop people hydroing and juking torpedoes; they do not provide vision on undetected ships.
Aimbots aren't particularly valuable.

While there are aimbots for any game, in *this* one they're pretty redundant because the game isn't indexed around aiming precision or skill.

I've actually done some research into illegal aim mods that were available for the game and found that all of them shared the same problem (besides not actually helping you in any way that experience, the right crosshair choice from the base ones available and a look at the minimap wouldn't do just the same):
They only work if the target is either sitting perfectly still. Or keeps moving at the ever same speed and in a perfectly straight line. Both being absolute rookie mistakes that any player with a modicum of skill will punish regardless of whether they have any aiming help installed or not.
If you as the target as much as slightly vary your speed and/or direction, any of those illegal mods will actually help you in dodging the incoming salvo. Seeing as someone who has them installed is very likely to put full trust in them.

So if people do keep on hitting you even at long distances without fail. it's because you either are moving too predictable. Or because they are just that good/lucky in predicting what you're about to do.

Aiming is one of the easiest skills in the game. An aimbot would allow someone to aim about as well as a bot (clue is in the name) and those coop bots are pretty scary right?

if you are getting deleted early every match then its more than likely due to you wandering round at a constant speed and heading and making yourself an easy target.

If so many people were actually using "aimbots", you'd actually find yourself getting hit significantly LESS often if you had the vaguest grasp on the concept of evasive maneuvers.

As always: knowing how to aim correctly is not a cheat. L2P.

I sometimes Wish I had aimbot ... then I could blame it for my glaring missed chances!!!

I got accused of using an aimbot a few days ago when I was in Tsurugi.

A guy in an Edinburgh was sailing laterally early in the game, got spotted by our DD so panicked and dropped his smoke. Naturally he has to stop in his smoke - so I see him slowing to a halt, estimate where he'll stop and fire and... pop! 100% HP Gone.

The point is, players doing stupid predictable things can make it easy even for people with potato aim like me.

Using priority target helps if you're in a cruiser and if someone is aiming at you, for God's sake don't sail in a straight line across the map or.. stop.

I am just a (pretty)good shot, believe it. No bot needed. If I can see you, and sometimes even if I can't I will clip you, no doubt. Almost nothing better to me in life to let fly ordinance knowing they may never know from where, but they sailed right into it. Nothing like blapping ships from a mile away, who never saw it coming. I LOVE IT. I am somewhere around a 60% shooter, which is pretty darn good.

I think there is a bunch, its mostly RNG if u citadel or not but if u can get help with a cheat to tell u where to have the ret when u fire, ofc this RNG will become better. Same with citadel the tirpitz or the bismarck You fire when the aim is at the tip of the top hull.

Use your Mini Map - the game has aim Assist built in so a 3rd party tool offers jack all more!!!
Good Luck!

There is nothing to improve your RNG. And that includes cheats that have become known. There was exactly none that did help with that.
As for knowing where to aim, minimap is the easiest tool here actually. So don't make it too small. You can always see a line showing the target ship's current heading and a small circle showing the exact point your guns are currently aimed at. If you just learn to work with that, any illegal aiming bot will become superfluous.
