@Graingy pretty much, i don't do it as much, although now i do i instant cappucino with salt

@Monarchii You sound like you evaporate seawater to snort the salt.

@Graingy well, i used to play WOWSB, i didnt like it very much so nope; then Battle of Warships(BoW) which is a funny arcade one, my favourite ship remains the Dunkerque for its speediness(and forward-onlu armament) and the Mahan because torp; then there's World War Battleship(WWB), a pretty decently different kind of WOWS that not many play, its pretty neat because well, various stuff really, you can customize your armament(queue shenanigans such as mounting a 410mm twin mount naval gun on a Yamato because i can) and the time is kinda.. dynamic i guess? cause like, it goes daytime to nightime(only for higher tiers though) and such, its a pretty decent one; the last one is long gone(server closed down, dead game syndrome, such a Shame cause i really like it) from the same developer as WWB, Naval Frontline:Regia Marina, damn the memories. ITS GOOD, in a sense WWB is the spiritual successor to NF:RM but it doesnt hit that nostalgia

@MonarchiiwithastolenMG Oh? Which?

@Graingy fair enoof; you are in control of a ship usually having crews upwards of more than a dozen soo.. and ship gunnery is far different than a tank anyway in some ways with having to predict and place well-guided shots and such, i would know, i used to play warship games XD

Naval is very rare, yes.
Maybe more populous higher up, but you actually have to get there first which means going through the almost empty lobbies at reserve rank (naval tech tree is weird. I started after I think this was added, but torpedo boats are 1.0 BR (matchmaking rank), but there's also reserve (free/starter. Sometimes used to just refer to 1.0, even paid) destroyers at 3.3/at least 3.7 in the case of the German one. It tops out at something like 6.(whatever) last I checked, any higher and I assume that'd a willing choice to put dreadnoughts against fighter jets).
The gunnery was always weird. It's been a while, but that's what I remember. Weirdness, at least if you're not super experienced.

@Graingy how can you not hit(granted, i never played war thunder, had a legacy PC back then but it has like, only 3gb ram or something and it can barely run anything) when you have more guns than a tank and the target is bigger(granted, moving targets are probably.. an arse. and Naval, from what Ive heard, is a rare breed of WT Players..?)

Hey, it worked in War Thunder.
… With ground. I could never hit anything in naval. Didn’t help that I never got into matches anyways ‘cause no one played. Couldn’t practice!
“Just keep firing HE until it looks like there’s a hole in their side.”
“And when I see a hole?”
“Start shooting at the bits and bobs.”
“Yes sir.”

@Graingy NO

"How big are they relative to the site lines?"
"Ehhh I'd say 6 nautical miles-ish."
"Jolly good. Fire at will."

@Graingy kinda how they work also, BUT STILL

@MonarchiiwithastolenMG
"Do you see the tracer disappear behind the ship?"
"Yeah."
"Too far. Lower the gun, like, I don't know, a tenth of a degree or something."

@Graingy IT TELLS YOU THE RANGE BY COMPARING THE IMAGES

"Did you hit them yet?"
"No."
"Keep messing around with the elevation until you see fire."

@Graingy well, that's kinda how they work, BUT STILL

“Take a shot.”
BANG
“Can you see the splash?”
“Yes.”
“Aight. Further.”

@Graingy THATS NOT HOW A RANGEFINDER WORKS!!! AAAAAAAAAA

"You have two eyes. How far?"
"Far enough that it doesn't matter."

@Graingy THATS NOT HOW THEY WORK EITHER YOU MARS DUST

"Is it big or small?"
"Yes."

@Graingy THATS NOT HOW THEY WORK

"Does it look big or small?"
"It looks like 250 meters at 4.5 clicks."

@Graingy my brother in interplanetary perils they have a rangefinder

And it ain't got none 'cause it's a merchant vessel.
