German BBs Dispersion

[PanzerRunner]

The Germans are famous for having not so accurate gun for their battleships IN-GAME, debatable sure.

But does it help bad aimers like me? Because every battle I at least gets one citadel. 

 

Edit : I recently got back into playing WoWs, yes a returning noob. I was lucky in my first battle, first place, got 3 kills and 110k damage.

german bb accuracy are so atrocious. though sometimes a well aimed shot still get bless by rng.

though most of the time the rng are hair-pulling. also, stay away from IJN dive bombers and any torpedo bombers. they are too clumsy (despite being a brawler bb) so they eat all the bombs and torpedo drop in your general direction by aircraft.

stay close to cruiser like usn, and french for aa protection.

I mainly play German BB's and I do feel that the inaccuracy of the guns helps me with hits because I couldn't aim for a stationary barn door.

actually. there's a bug with stationary target. WG cant shoot stationary target even at point blank range. you have to aim little bit higher to actually hit them.

e.g: if you try to hit broadside stationary target, don't aim at water line, most shell will fall on water. aim bit higher.

not to mention auto target are bugged, its important to manually use x select target. also check mini map if targeted ship is highlighted, if not, its auto target bug.

wows has lots of bugs since beta that was not fix yet.

I can agree, German BB are brawler but they're too big of a target, Großer kurfürst for example.

Thank you for the tips btw, i learn new things everyday in this forum.

I personally find KM BBs more enjoyable than the others. I'm currently grinding GK's main armaments upgrade. The grind has been going well so far, a bit frustrating at times due to its pathetic range of 20km which is not nearly enough when fighting campers and island huggers. But that shouldn't bother you much because you're not going to hit anything beyond 15km, cause it's not meant to.    On a side note, I landed a 64k damage on Yamato in a single salvo just four days ago but I think he might have been a potato, either that or my GK's guns are extremely powerful in under 10km.

just use stock guns. those larger caliber dont overmatch 30mm. also german guns benefit from faster reload. specially since they have crappy dispersion.  more S@#% you throw to wall, the better.

i havent got GK (i only got frederik) but i tried it on space battle. i even use meme secondary build, and i really like her. i got average 120k damage per game. really tanky and pack lots of punch.

That is kinda the premise/trait of German ships though. The closer they are to the enemies, the more dangerous they get.

In theory, that is.

I read that  GK's unique upgrade will increase the reloading time a bit even if you try to bring it down to 25 seconds.   Seems kinda pointless tbh

Exactly! There's a 50/50 chance you might lose your ship by pushing though flanks but  the souls you reap will all be worth it in the end 😄

Inaccurate cannons? Tell that to the British flag ship HMS Hood which the Bismark blew out of the water plus numerous other accounts of extremely effective German made cannons destroying everything from planes, tanks and ships. The effectiveness you see in game is because this is a Russian game, they are incredibly biased when it comes to anything German. You only need to look at all the radar on the Russian ships in game. According to in game the Russian's built the best radar in the world during WW2 when in actual fact they didn't even know what radar was during WW2.

They all researchable BB sigma were 1.8 except for Scharnhorst and Prinz Eitel Friedrich were 2.0 

AP so good velocity but cost disperse shots 

[HeidimarieW]

KMS main here, 

I don't really see any problems with the dispersion in general. Although sometimes it can be trollish and rob you some important plays in certain matches, but even with less accurate guns, you still have pretty good shell speed and volume of fire from main battery reload to compensate for bad aiming/shell grouping.

and sometimes that weird dispersion leads you to some lucky hits, in a sense it helps but don't depend on it.

Many people still actively avoid the fact that WoWS is not a naval simulator. It's sad.
