Another reason is that I play DM/Worcester/Atlanta a lot. Then I decided to switch to dynamic crosshair from static since I watched many CCs and unicum players using dynamic crosshair. I can hit where I want 90% of time regardless of target ship type, speed or angle. I had played over 5k battles in wows at which time my aiming is not too bad I believe. I feel the theory is somehow in the right direction but he a) ignored the distance impact and b) he has no solid proof of the speed the crosshair is calibrated for, which are 12 kt (static) and 21.5 kt (dynamic). There is only one topic date back to 2016 that proposed the theory of aiming at where the shells will land ( Check here). Imagine that you want to shoot a moving animal's head, naturally you will aim at the head but not at its feet expecting to hit the head, right? The more I played the more unreasonable I feel about this. This makes the lead calculation illogical and people need to adjust lead according to different sizes of ships (lead more for smaller target). However, all the tutorial videos about aiming put the prediction tick mark at the bow whereas they expect the shells to land at the center of the target. Why are 99% of players using the bow as the reference of aiming? When talking about lead, naturally we make prediction of where the shells will land after some time. Someone recommended it greatly Here in 2017, but not many people had interest in it. Furthermore, there is a custom dynamic crosshair in Aslain's mod called "Nomogram" whose tick mark's intervals change according to target distance (not zoom level when you scroll the mouse wheel).

It is obviously shell travel time and target speed affect lead, but how about target distance? Should I lead the same ticks for a ship at 10km and the same ship at 20km which travel at same speed/direction and with (assuming) equal shell travel time? For my experience in game they are not the same but many articles tell us you lead the same ticks as shell flight time for a battleship sized target moving at 20 kt without mentioning/saying regardless of distance. There are two fundamental questions that I do not have an answer to after reading many posts/videos about proper aiming:
