Auto aiming in world of tanks is a feature in the game that automatically aims on the enemy tank but because of the game mechanics you cannot just auto aim on your enemy tank and just win the game. This article will teach you how to use, when to use and when not to use the auto aim.
To activate auto aim all you have to do is hoveron to your enemy tank and press right click, your crew member will say “target acquired” indicating that you’re locked on. When you are locked on to a tank your crosshair will stick to a target and your turret will be out of your control until auto aim is deactivated.Right clicking anything or anywhere else other than your targeted tank will deactivate auto aim, you’re crewmember will say “target lost” letting you know it’s deactivated. Auto aim also deactivates when the tank that you locked on get out of vision.
When to use:
- On weak armored tanks: If you are sure that your gun has enough penetration to damage the enemy tank press right click and gun that tank down. Best tanks to do it on are artillery’s, light tanks, most French and Japanese tanks, tank side and back armors.
- Running Away: have you ever been in a situation where there are 5 tanks about to surround you and your only option is to run away? Well the best thing to do is auto aim one of the tanks chasing you run away and spam your left clicks. This will allow you to concentrate on where you are running to and also give you a chance to bounce some shots because the heavily armored part of you turret is facing the enemy.
- Turret lock: The game still has the bug where your turret gets delayed when you are about to peek a corner. Auto aiming the enemy tank nullifies that bug.
- Moving: moving shots are still very RNG based so if you are moving and want to hit a target I find it more efficient to auto aim first before shooting because it automatically aims at the middle of the tank. This also lets you focus more on where you are driving.
When not to use:
- Heavily armored tanks: Since auto aim aims at the center of the tank it doesn’t aim at the tanks weakest spot so against heavily armored tanks you will most likely bounce on the target.
- Sniping- auto aim doesn’t lead on targets so on moving targets that are more than 75m away it would be best to not auto aim or you will just miss.
- Terrain with a lot of obstacles: auto aim also ignores maps with a lot of obstacles. So against hull downed tanks don’t bother auto aiming because you will hit the ground.
Overall auto aim is a feature in the game that is worth using as long as you know when and when not to use it. Manual aiming is still superior but it wouldn’t hurt adding auto aim into your game.
