I would like to see a follow up about aiming at ships in a turn. Just how much lead up and down one should give and finally cover aiming at ships moving towards or away. I find those harder to judge and tips would be helpful.
Yes that would be very helpful.
In a way this is also where minimap can help you. If you look at your crosshair on minimap, you can see where your shells are going to land, so you can see on minimap ship turning and you can anticipate where it's gonna be and aim there. That should give you first indicators and later on it will come naturally. Well that being said, the view of angled ship is very missleading, so it's always a good idea to check minimap for angling of ship you're aming at.
@@PetrSojnek yeah even people are good at it, it never hurts to hear other people's tips and this video is about tips. So I thought a follow up video for more advanced tips would be a natural follow up.
@American Man no its not come. I try it over and over, and its only luck, if i hit something.
You tube personalities get better sigma than regular players. Its advertising
been playing the game for almost 3 years and I finally understood what those lines in the binocular are for
yo same been guessing this whole time
Thought they're for the distance...so 5km, 10km, etc.
I thought they were for seconds @ the given speed?
Lmfao
This is a video that fits into the select "must-watch" category. Seriously. If I was starting a clan I would expect all members to watch AND incorporate the elements you pointed out. I have 13k matches and can say there's nothing of import I can add to your tips. Very well done Notser ... you packed a lot of useful information into a short period of time. New players who want to improve should watch this, play some, and re-watch. Rinse and repeat untill everything in this vid is second nature. You will become an asset to any team you are on.

I dunno, I feel like most of this video is completely uneeded for me. I can judge the shot just by looking at the ship and using the horizontal line of the scope as kind of a level to know what the elevation of my shot is going to be, adjusting to compensate for them heading towards or away to me. As well you get used to shooting ships behind islands and understand your shells arcs pretty quickly on a ship. I'm no super player, it just takes practice. Maybe 20 battles if you've played something similar to this game before, 50-100 if you've never played a game like this before.
If you want to learn I'd recommend purchasing the Yubari from the Arsenal to practice shooting HE. It's got pretty good and accurate HE guns and with the upcoming CV rework it's heavier AA might pay some dividends. Then play the Emerald (British TV cruiser). It's a garbage ship but once you've mastered shooting on the Yubari you should be able to handle shell aiming even on the crappy Emerald. Playing the Emerald with it's crappy AP guns with no HE option will teach you how to adjust your shooting when you run into AP rounds that cannot pen or shatter. Killed a BB last night with my Emerald by shooting for high bow/stern and shooting for superstructure as if I was using HE shells. Even with it's high arcs if you've mastered Yubrai shots this is the next step.
Once you can consistently land damaging shots on the Emerald you should be ready to shoot on basically any ship. AP rounds are easy compared to HE, as Noster said just aim center ship for the waterline. Close range you'll pen from the side, long range you'll pen from a top down high angle shot. And if you run into a case where you keep getting shatters because your AP is overmatched just remember your time on the Emerald and adjust your aim similarly.
Geez 13k... I have 1.5k and I only just broke 16k on tanks. That’s a level of experience I need to be at.
Notser thanks for always being so pleasant in your videos its honestly a breath of fresh air. I would like to have seen more of an example of leading shots on a moving target especially at faster moving targets i.e shooting dds in a BB cheers
Great video Notser!!! The more you practice, the better you get at aiming... And every bit of new information (or even not that new, but clarifying) helps!!! Keep up the amazing work!!!
Outstanding training video, Notser!!!
Thank you!
Great advice Noster. I've been playing for over a year but it's still useful to be reminded what good aim looks like.
I was subconsciously doing a good amount of this. But thank you so much for explaining the targeting reticle and how to time your salvos while leading. That helped a ton.
Noster,
Just wanted to say how much I, for one, appreciate your world of warship videos. They have made the game far more enjoyable since I've started watching them and whenever I get a new ship, before I ever take it out of port, I reference to see what you have to say about the subject matter. Hopefully others have had the decency to pass along their thanks because the amount of time you put into these videos is truly selfless and as I said earlier very much appreciated. Keep up the outstanding work.
Best Regards,
Patrick O'Flanagan
TY Notser vids like this are why you are my fav wows cc
Thank you for this video. I had been forgetting to use my spotting aircraft. After watching this video I played a few games and each game got an extra kill using the spotting aircraft.
Nice video, Notser! Thanks for taking the time to break down components of aiming and firing! I'm relatively new to the game (mobile version) and I although the mobile version isn't as involved, the principles (should) still apply!
Thanks again! I enjoyed it :-)
I had around 100 hours in this game and still didn't know about most of tips you gave on this video. Extremely helpful. Thanks
Good stuff! Appreciate the instruction - other CCs take note!
I was never good at shooting long range with scout aircraft because of the perspective. Now I know to check the mini-map to see exactly where I’m aiming. Thanks, Notser!
Nice one, also this helps me play with battleships and make perfect accurate shots and do tons of damage, thanks Notser 👌
Thanks for this tips! this actually really helped me out in my matches since i miss the 70% of my battery shots
I would expect everyone to know this already, but it is a very nice and short video explaining the basics.
This was a nice refresher course.
As someone who is just learning this game this was very helpful thank you
Hey Notser! Greeting from Asian server!
Just try to break through 54% of win rate! And this video is really useful for me! Didn't even know what's the meaning or those numbers and lines besides the cross XD
BTW I am a big fan of IJN DDs, hopefully you will have more games demonstrate IJN DDs! And maybe show us how to aim torps as well!
Thanks notser.. Great job!!!!
Great stuff here. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for the help. Cool to see the first RUclips result was someone I already follow on Twitch.
this is the best video for aiming thanks man
thanks Notser a great video, which I will keep coming back to. hope you have a great Christmas and happy New Year. I also hope the new year will bring better things for your family
Top notch info thank you.
That was extremely helpful. I'm actually pretty good at Fame, but I find that my damage output is often less than others with similar weaponry. Now I know why. And to be honest, I didn't really now what the gradations on the crosshairs meant. I use them, but now I can use them more effectively taking my shots. The one thing I was always really bad at was aiming when the Scout plane was up. Now I think I will be much better.
Thank you for this. Very useful.
ive been playing this game scince beta and i never knew any of this thx notser love this info will definatly help improve my game
yep, added this one to my clan web site tips and tricks section - valuable info especially for newer captains - but even veterans. So many who don't actually look at ship armor schemes ...
Good Hunting !
Karandar
this has been the best aiming video I have seen. thanks
no it's not. ship is not moving
as for lead, smoke dissipates in 3.6 seconds, so you can calculate lead by watching enemy ship smoke+shell flight time. works very well against ships not sailing at their max speed
Thanks, brother. Just shared this with all my ICOP friends. Any "how-to" vids you put together will likewise see use by our guys. Much appreciated.
Thanks for helping out the new guys.
Playing for 3.5 years and never new the standard reticle was calibrated for 20 knots. I aim by feel. And it shows sometimes. ;) Good video.
Thanks for this video, helps a lot
Very good notser.
Wooow you are the best!! My aim improved 300% thanks habibi :D
Thank you for the video I was wanting one of these videos for current patch cause the older videos are kind of outdated
Thank you for making this!!!!!
Great info 🤘

this is very helpful thanks dude
Thanks, good info.
Nice instructional video. A nice fallow up would be aiming at targets that have sections that have damage saturation. Just last night I had a game where two Yamatos where bow in for 15 minutes shooting at each others nose. Causing little damage.
Keep up the value add contain, and helping us hone our skills.
SUPER HELPFUL!
This was really helpful. I think I will have a hard time remembering most of this during a game though
Thanx Notser, I have fallen in to a " cant hit shit " mod of late .I needed a quick refresher and reedumacation from a Master thanks for helping my enjoyment of my WOWS investment. Nothing like burning out on a game after you build a fleet of over a hundred and invest since the first year. Thanks for fighting for the player base and always being honest and not a warship patsy.
Thanks mate, very usefull video ! Especially how to aim with the minimap ;) Also, to see a ship behind an island you can spam M (the map button). The view will go a bit up
Very helpful stuff, thx a lot, keep it up :)
Notser, my voice is twice as deep as yours and even mine break sometimes. No need to interrupt the lesson to apologize.

Good stuff, thanks.
Thanks for helping me on my aim, my weakness is when the target turns towards me
diagonal towards you or on the turn towards you... 2 different things.
If he is going straight in a diagonal towards you just judge the speed and than look at the minimap and put your aiming circle on his vector.
If he is turning you always have to take into consideration that ships don't turn but drift ... so if he turns towards you aim slightly to the outside of his turn to hit him bang on.
very good video well explained.
Great stuff, really helpful been playing 5/6 months now and not really understood most of this.
Bit off topic, but what is Free XP used for? Been told not to use it for ships in the tech tree, but if you're short by few thousand why not? Thanks😀
Wow I thought that the lines meant where to line up at different km ranges. Thx Notser!
this is so much different on consoles, i need to look into the settings some more cause i dont think we have all these options yet. the video was very helpful though thank you
I agree with most tips on here except for turning on all the settings on the minimap. As helpful as they can be, they can obscure your minimap with all that mess if you happen to have a small screen. Though people with a bigger monitor may consider turning on those features.
love the videos and streams
Great Video!!! Can you link to your other video?
a follow up video on aiming at turning or ships at angles would be awesome
Thanks for the video
Notser talking about planes of existance like he has a third eye or somthing.
Haha
mrdragonfell. Been playing for 3 years this was dope. I have never used the mini map to this level of detail.
Thank you!
Exactly what @nutluck said, i struggle sometimes with aiming at ships moving away, coming towards me, or in a turn at long range, especially in my battleships. I can adapt with cruisers and DD's ofc as their rate of fire, but with a battleship, you have one chance to hit . Please post a video on that if possible, thanks!
Aiming in Warships is a vector magnitude problem that takes into consideration factors related to the cosine function and time. If the ship is at an angle of 45 degrees that is an indication that the seconds should be halved as the cosine of 45 decrees is 1/2. 1/2 times the seconds to target gives the correct seconds for where you want your shells to fall. Moreover, as Noster said speed is also a factor so: using all the variables Sd (.01 - 1)x( Cos (Theta))x(seconds) should give the correct number for placement of the reticle. I use Stiv 372 and the angle indicator from Mod Stations. Once you get a feel for it then it becomes second nature and calculations are not needed.
Some couple of additions that are worth mentioning. Know the approximate speed of your opponents. If faster than reticule speed than add time to shot, slower use a shorter time. Battleships under 30 knots at low tiers up to slightly over at high tiers, reduce by about 10% to right on shell flight time, or aim slightly further back on ship. Cruisers are usually slightly over 30 knots, I add approximately 10% to shell flight time, or put shell flight time at nose not citadel. Destroyers tend to be much faster than 30 knots, I go at around 150% of flight time (half again the flight time, ie. 5 sec flight time, aim at 8 sec). Smoke stack can tell you approx % of speed. Straight up or no smoke is stopped, straight back is full speed. Target angle can also change aiming. Broadside is flat. The more the ship is angled the shorter the aiming time is till it reaches 0 when they are bow or stern on to you. Also you need to raise if the ship is kiting or going away, lower the point of aim if they are coming towards you. Use the water line of ship to judge angle and aim along that line.
Aiming with scouts has never been my cup of tea ,thanks for the help
.
Great video. My aiming issues are more frequent when ships are turning sharply toward or away from me though. Any tips on this?
hey thanx for the video !!!! just one question !!! to to align the crossair horizontal line, as in should it be touching the target vsl's hull top section or at the waterline !!! ps i just started and play on PS4 :-) !!!!
When shooting at DDs, at least double the lead, usually triple, depending on your speed and if you are traveling in the same, or opposite directions.
Hi there Notser, that was a great video about aiming tutorial. I want to ask, how do you aim a ship that is turning towards or away from you ? Obviously you need to reaim, but how specifically ? Can you make a tutorial video about how to aim on ships that heading towards you or turning away from you ? Thanks.
Great videos Notser. Can you tell us how you manage to get the UI of WOWS to not be laggy and slow. Been playing 3 years on 4 separate computers and I've never seen the WOWS UI move as fast as it did in your video.
Thank you. I am a LATE starter in this game (less than a month ago) and, I really appreciate your videos. Good attitude, very neutral observations and being blunt about your observations mistakes and potential ideas during a battle is very informative. Thank you. Between you and, jingles (for different reasons) you guys have the best videos. As a side note.....I understand you are not the game designer but any reason the 180mm is not more widely used? Such a great round and wish it was more wide spread. So leading into my request. Could you do a video on caliber sizes, shell velocity and penetration values in relation to the armor needed? I understand the basics of shell size vs armor value and the basic modifiers of dividing by 4 or 6 (depending on the nation) but is there a different value added on when using shell velocity? I mean.....does the Russian CAs and the Italian CAs get a bonus on penetration values due to SOLELY high velocity values of the shell? I know Germans get the divide by 4 but, I am not grasping how shell velocity adds into the equation or if it is another factor entirely (in game mechanic terms, as, I understand real world values)? I mean...does the, Duca D'aosta have a better penetration (I know it gets more over pens) than another cruiser with the same caliber gun with the divided by 6 modifier? How many mm's does the shell velocity add onto penetration or due to a lower shell velocity detract from the penetration? I mentioned the, Russians as well because of their high velocity shells but the CAs do not get the divided by 4 modifier....so....how are these calculations included in the gam and what is the equation?
I have explained this in text several times, going to send links to this. I do leave out the AP waterline, HE aim higher bit, but I do include telling them static cross hair number 8 is great for learning to aim at not quite broadside ships especially with spotter planes. Thanks.
While everything mentioned in here is true and good info, I truly feel that aiming well and quickly while under pressure is just an acquired feeling. Use intuition, because you won't have time to number crunch.
Source: my own track record with 40% hit rate. I don't use anything but the static crosshair that has been in the game since alpha.
Agreed. I only have 1.5k games but what I do is tend to visualize the shells and where they will fall and try and put myself in the enemy ships head. As in where would I turn? And my accuracy has been going up thanks to that.
Thank you so much, this is a vers good video. 😀😀
I wish the console version had all of those setting options!
Same
How do i play training rooms? Sorry Im new to the game
A lot of aiming comes from intuition and experience. Aiming also depends on how fast ship is moving, type of ship, whether ship is moving towards or away, and how it is angled.
4.000 Games in, reasonably good stats, yet i didn’t know that the markers on the crosshairs actually equate to one second of travel time each. Thank you notser.
Notser, Thanks for another great video brother. This is the video I've been looking for. I've been playing a while but it's nice to have a refresher. What % is your UI set to? Hope you and your family are having a good Christmas and hope your mom is doing well!

@@Notser Thank you
I'm having problems aiming with the Musashi. It seems to me that the shell flight time to target indicator (in seconds, the one to the left of the aimpoint) is totally off.
It seems the actual shell flight time is shorter than what the indicator says. For example, if the enemy ship is going at about 30 knots and the indicator says flight time is 14 seconds, then if I give a 14-dot lead on the sight, the shells will actually get there faster and hit the water in front of the enemy ship. Has anyone noticed this? I know the Musashi/Yamato have a pretty fast muzzle velocity but I thought the shell flight time indicator would be scaled to the actual ship you're using at the moment, so shell velocity shouldn't matter. This is something I've only noticed on my Musashi. I have no problems aiming accurately with any other ship.
As something of a follow-on, do you have any advice with difficult situations such as the U.S. 6" and 5" shells at range. The target has time to turn around, get a cup of coffee and grab two CAPs before they land. Would you double-click to salvo, which is what I see most of the good players do, or might it be better to click and hold to fire sequentially? It might be better to spread the salvo vertically or horizontally to hedge a course or speed change. Alternatively, dispersion, sigma value, and the apocryphal RNGesus may automatically do that for you.
Excellent video. Played this game for years without knowing about the alternative interface, etc. (Gnarly, wrinkly, stinky potato) I learned some of it a piece at a time through your videos, iChase, Flambass, etc. But this puts a lot of it together.
Just when i was crying because my aim
super useful
thx Notser
Good timing on this video. Did you see one of my matches yesterday? lol
Idk why people dont talk about this but I also think it helps to turn the water in the minimap to transparent. Then I increase map size to as big as it can get
This is all great advice UNLESS you're in a BB, your dispersion is nearing 300, and all that effort you put into your aiming is more like just... a suggestion. There are several videos like this but they're almost always from a cruiser or DD's point-of-view. So what can you say beyond what's in this video if you're running a BB?
Could you do an updated video on the american cruisers with the new line, like the seattle and worcester
Maybe someone already mentioned this, but the ticks can't be seconds, as the ticks would have to change with the distance of the point you're looking at (I don't mean zoom), as optically the distance travelled by object far away is shorter than distance travelled by an object being closer. The ticks are some kind of angle marks.
@Notser Coul u tell, are u always trying to adjust your aim with the line on the map?
I thought everyone knew these basics but great vid
Youare my favorite wow player i will always support you and watch you.Keep it up bro.☺️☺️☺️
I second this!
Does anyone have any advice for the right mouse to use? When trying this technique i cannot get a smooth movement in the mini-map which leads to incorrect placement of the cursor on the target. I use a Logitech M510 wireless mouse. Of course it maybe the game causing this effect as well. Good video Notser Thank you.
I always bad at playing with battleship....always miss...always not pen and do no damage.....for years i dont know how the aim work out....how the shell calculate the range....how the shell calculate the armor pen....this video give me a ray of hope to play as battleship back...all this time i just play as carriers....thanks for the guide....i hope to be a better player using battleship
Now I know why you hit so many islands LMAO
"I pulled a Notser" has become a very well known meme in WoWs.
