You have got to adapt! this game strifes for balance , fairness not so much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8,801 [PSP] Snargfargle [PSP] Members 13,673 posts Report post #5 Posted November 2, 2017 I've not noticed that the new firing reveal mechanic is much of a detriment to cruisers. I routinely "share" smoke in my Cleveland and nobody's detected me yet. Now, I have noticed the difference in battleships. However, the whole idea of a half-dozen battleships sitting in smoke and firing away undetected at 7 km while a DD sat right outside the smoke spotting was more than a bit ridiculous. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're spotted at 5.X concealment it often mean that a DD is around, and I don't wanna be that DD.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The closer you are to the enemy, the easier it becomes to blindfire you and given the fragility of RN Cruisers this can quickly result in a triple citadel + a red ribbon.

1,966 [USCC2] _WaveRider_ Members 6,170 posts Report post #10 Posted November 2, 2017 Give the new smoke changes a chance to play out in the game results (stats). The UK ships will also have their smoke generator work for double what it does now so will have more puffs to hide in and are less likely to shoot out of it if going fast. Lets wait and see before saying all is lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
