Nomogram Classic - A Must Have Crosshair

[@macdam11]

Actually I find "Operations" quite handy mode to train deflection shooting (i.e. enemy comes in at an angle), as the ships tend to keep coarse and constant speed. I usually play a few per week and notice an increase in accuracy of my shooting

[@Seluecus1]

i've never really considered this idea. thanks.

[@CoffeeMug2828]

In my case I just estimate. I use the type 7 static cross hair and just estimate it. After playing for years I had improved my guesstimating skills to the point I can determine the lead needed to hit a moving enemy just by looking at them.

[@milionST]

This is what every player that wants to be good at the game should ''aim'' at. Dynamic crosshairs are nuisance for the more experienced players.

[@coronal2207]

@@milionST Yeah I tried dynamic crosshair once, couldn't hit a thing

[@TomasLomba]

Same here, been playing for about 3 years and I can pretty accurately eyeball the necessary lead. It is very rare for me to overshoot or miss targets unless they are french DDs or changing heading unexpectedly.

[@bjornefellhanded9708]

I thought thats just what everyone does. I dont run any mods. Maybe I need to look at the advantage opponents are running against me.

[@NotTheRookie]

I just use the regular dynamic crosshair. Give it about half the lead for battleships, roughly the same for cruisers, and about twice the lead for destroyers. Works out for every ship I play.

[@botasterisk5163]

TBH,this crosshair helps newer players mostly,players who have been playing for a longer time know how to lead appropriately, that's why I just use the static crosshair, and I also believe its better to learn how to use the default ones so you learn how to lead rather than having to line up the ticks every time you want to shoot at something farther away, otherwise great vid and really informative.

[@michaelreid5307]

Exactly. I've been playing since early closed beta and have never used any mods.

[@DuduDruidDotCom]

Same there. I do not use any mods, use the standard static and if I play ship for the first time, I just accept the fact that my first few games won't be amazing, as I adjust my aim, calibrating in a way.

[@RAiNfORAiNbOW]

Using the ticks won't work with accelerating/decelerating opponents or angles so TLDR dont use this. It might help you at first but it will make you weaker player in the long run. For good players its useless too because the shots this works with are also unmistakable without it

[@derek96720]

@@RAiNfORAiNbOW It works with ALL shots, so long as you know the average/top speed of the ship you're shooting at and can make adjustments accordingly. The tick marks might be set to 30 knots, but you can still easily use them to shoot someone going 35 knots if you just adjust a little.

[@r1299]

That crosshair would be call first focal plane. FFP. It stays accurate at all zoom levels. Good stuff.

Nomogram crosshair made a HUGE difference to my play, wouldn't go out without it. Couldn't agree more.

[@urbanworm7881]

Thanks Notser. This is proving to be very useful. It is the difference between chunking a target and deleting it. I am getting way more citadels.

[@littledoseTM]

I use the ingame dynamic and double it for DDs and it works rlly good.

[@seaton168]

Thanks man. This really helped me! I was looking for was to ve more accurate and this is it. I'm still adapting but once I master this I know it'll improve my shots significantly!

[@selkiemaine]

Sometimes I don't have time (or the mental presence) to work the tick marks. I have a second calculation I can make (I've verified this in the training rooms). The average destroyer covers it's own length in roughly 2 seconds, the average cruiser in 4 seconds, and the average battleship in 6. Obviously, there are exceptions - the superfast DDs or superslow long high tier BBs are a bit off. But, it does hold for the lower tier US BBs, as they are not only slower but shorter. It's often easier for me to translate the motion of the enemy ship into shiplengths than it is to work the numbers ... just how my brain works.

[@Thulram]

I prefer Nomogram Modern plus the max. speed indicator, less time doing calculations in my head which kept slowing me down. I also found classic to be quite busy on the screen with the double scale.

[@burt591]

I like Nomogram Modern too, the only problem is that when there is an island between you and the target it trows off the scale completely

[@PanzerPotato]

Old comment I know, but I have a question. I know modern nomogram, but what do you mean about max? what is it?

[@Thulram]

@@PanzerPotato The 'Max Speed of Target' mod which displays the locked ship's maximum base speed. It doesn't account for speed flag, dazzle or engine boost though.

[@PanzerPotato]

Thanks for the answer. After watching this video I started using monogram classic. Then i saw your comment and tried monogram modern. I must say monogram modern is superb crosshair especially combined with the max speed mod you mentioned. Thank you very much again @@Thulram and all the best. Cheers!

[@imlate8079]

I just shoot with my instinct, it works every time

[@andrewpotapenkoff7723]

I also have an advice: If your target is moving angled to you, let's say 45 degrees, just cut the ticks amount in half.

[@charliedontsurf334]

It's closer to 70% at 45 degrees. It's 50% at 30 degrees.

I like the version of Classic with the "spider web." Nomogram Striv372. I will be using this combo from now on.

[@AH-pq7yw]

I wrote to you during your stream and we discussed it already, but again I think the best crosshair is "Nomogram Modern", because it is just so easy, if the ship goes at 20knts aim at 20, 30knts aim at 30 etc. you don't need to worry about shell travel time, all you have to do is remember ship's speeds, or just install another mod that shows enemy ship's stats including speed next to minimap.

[@Nukefest2179]

[@dannorth3596]

[@ZaffaPlaysGames]

that poor Shima eating _six_ overpens from a GK at 14km.... obviously your aim was perfect but oh my god, the dispersion is never that perfect. Beautiful to behold.

[@terryvickers5986]

I have pretty good success by adjusting the zoom to bracket the ship between same numbers on both top and bottom scales.

[@ThatAussieBloke1]

I've been playing for years and have never used any of the info on the crosshairs lol like the ships speed etc

[@yourmamom]

For new players I suppose it would help especially with slow shells. But generally after 2 salvos on a new ship I already understand all I need to know whenever I use it. At that point it's up to the enemy to dodge or dispersion to be trash.

Well this crosshair is a very good crutch for people who might have trouble aiming. Not meant for everyone but it can be pretty useful.

[@skoomd4447]

I tried it once, couldnt hit anything. I wouldnt say its a crutch at all just a different crosshair style

[@fixeshousestuff9159]

You are describing speed across the line of sight and using the angle on the bow determine it. Sin of the angle multiplied by actual speed. Use this speed to set your lead. Old school submarine mental gymnastics.

[@NakkiranSunassee]

With Nomogram Classic, I'm having trouble with the NC at max range (32km) with the standard bino, as it doesn't zoom in enough. I tried the Zeiss mods, but while they zoom in at long range, the lead to target is then out of the frame, so I have to zoom out anyway. What is everyone else using when at max range on the large BBs?

[@anthonyguiliani1761]

This may be a stupid question but how do you get the distance and time that are around the crosshair? I installed Aslains for this crosshair but don't get that info....?

[@AGrenade4U]

Bro, I don't know if you are still around and sorry to necro, but just in case, could you please explain to me in a more step by step way what figures on the crosshair to use with the tick marks? And then after you make sure your crosshair is good, you simply make sure that the small white circle on the mini map is perfectly covering their path/line on the mini map? Also, how do you know how far up or down to aim your crosshair? I get how you look at the seconds to target, then based on how fast they are going, use that same number on either the top scale or bottom scale, and if they are angled draw it in a bit, if they are angled away, you raise it some but if they are angled towards you then lower it down some, right? I want to get better. Thanks, mate.

[@Wyldren]

For those that have trouble knowing the speeds of ships, above the dynamic crosshair section in modstation has a mod called "Max Speed of target" which does not tell you the speed of your target, but the max speed it can go.

[@Hproawesome]

Or just know their their max speed by learning the ship just like knowing each ship strength, weakness, and armor layout?

Full interface, Nomogram Classic, and I still can't hit anything with a scout plane. That different angle throws me off so hard :c

[@Tuning3434]

+Halbostfriese yeah, that one needs more practice than I ever get to have. I think players that don't regularly use a scout plane ship, have a tough hill to climb to master that aspect. Also, head on heading are always tricky, dispersion is a bitch and if you have a slow shell, it doesn't take miracles for the enemy player to dodge.

[@Halbostfriese]

@@Tuning3434 I am playing since launch. Still can't get it done. I may do a lot of other things right, but scout plane aiming I just potato hard :c

The spotter angle is strange, but it's nothing compared to the slam dunk when they land mid aim.

[@KarthikVishwamitra]

@@Tuning3434 To get some practice you can just go in a training room battle with some bots. Start off with them moving but unarmed with low AI settings. This means they'll almost always just sail in a straight line at full speed. Once you get better you can up the AI and they'll start to dodge a bit.

[@kii9357]

Notser, can you pass along to WG a consistent error that I see in the version 9.10 release. I have tried a full reinstall to correct this too and also the file verify functions to verify the game files. It especially shows up when I play my Atago. At the start of the game, things will look normal. But when you shoot your guns you do not see the shells or the streaks that they leave. When torpedoes are fired that do not move in the water. They do move but the indicators do not. The ships indicators at the top of the screen do not move sunk ships to the end. I have seen others complain of the same issues in the same game so this may be a server-side issue. Others in my clan have seen the same problems as well.

[@alexkesselaar2706]

Hi Notser I love your videos, keep up the good work. I cant remember who did a video on this topic too but maybe you can have a look at it but the Nomogram was also helpfull with shooting below and above 16k distance. As i can remember, there was a thing with distance too. If you have a broadside target say at 18km distance and your shell time would be 12 seconds, the top bar would make the shots miss and difficult to get in view. But the bottom line has the numbers closer and if you use those (even tho its for 20k speed, but below 16 k distance) for the targetting, you would hit the shells. Maybe look at it and see if thats (still?) correct?

Is it weird im using static crosshair? i use the diagonal line to help aim when they are sailing away or towards me on an angle. i dont have much issues leading my shots, if they dont play with their speed to much XD

[@botasterisk5163]

Its fine if you’re using the static crosshair,in fact i’d say its better to learn how to aim with the static crosshair,good for learning muscle memory rather than lining up ticks everytime you wat to shoot(like with the nomogram crosshair)

[@c10wiremantawwallace13]

Don't remember the name but in the modstation pack there is an option for a large angle indicator (think it's big navigation or similar). Use that and adjust shots ie at 45 degrees you want to roughly half the lead vs a flat 90 which would be the number on the scale.

There is no point, there are so many different factors to take into account that it is only a useful tool for the beginner, where it isn't because they are still trying to grasp the basics of the game.

Or, alternatively you can do what I do and apply your own skill and judgement to shooting others.

You know when Bismarck devstriked Hood in 41? Yeah, that's first shot accuracy for you. It's not a game related thing but a military concept. The best weapon is the one that'll hit the enemy before he sees/engages you. This is why tanks like the Tiger and Panther were/are considered superior weapons. Modern tanks, ships, fighters, helicopters mostly rely on hitting the first shot/salvo before the enemy even knows what is going on
