RN CL Consumables Smoke or Plane, why??

[CaptChico]

I think we can all agree, Smoke is the one Consumable RN CLs need to be effective, why then, did WG put the Plane on the same Consumable slot??

Would it not be better to have the Figher/spotter Plane be on the same Slot as Hydro?

Being able to smoke up and then launch a plane to continue spotting your enemies sounds a bit aggravating for those being shot at. You can do the same with hydro, but the enemies would have to be far closer than if you had a plane.

Agree, BUT that is suppose to be what RN CLs do best, that's suppose to be their one "Ace in the hole".

WG should just put the plane in another slot, oh and why not another slot for defensive fire too...

Haven't made it to a RN CL with smoke yet; been doing just fine with my island waifus and hydro.

Being able to smoke up and effectively spot for yourself is stupidly OP - which makes it a complete mystery why they gave that ability to Belfast with smoke+radar+hydro, despite every single ST that touched it saying it was OP as hell.

If we are talking about every Cruiser outside of Brit Cruisers Tier 6 and under, i agree with you 100%. But the way low tier Brit CLs are performing at the moment, even being able to Smoke and spot would not make them OP in any way.

It's basically just the Emerald which has a problem -- Leander seems fine. It would really be a bad idea to spot for yourself in the Emerald, because you want allies around when you leave the smoke

RN cruisers can invisifire when they bring their own smoke. That is annoying enough without having them have auto-spotting.

When in smoke pop hydro and you can now see out of it.... I actually find the wimpy smoke to be least effective for my Edinborough. Radar works much better for me.
