IMO Smoke screens were vital to destroyer tactics when engaging other surface vessel in the WWII era. Lets hear your thoughts on whether it will be in-game, and the pros and cons of such a ability.

Maybe a destroyer laying a smoke screen will add to to the camo value of any nearby ships. I am not sure if this would be in game though. It would kind of be like having a portable bush in World of Tanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7 [CASUL] HTRK74JR Alpha Tester 92 posts 3,313 battles Report post #5 Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) i believe if they were able to use a smoke screen, it would make it so that any ship within firing range of the ship, lose accuracy by atleast 20% when targeting that destroyer, its not foolproof, but might make it enough so that the destroyer can escape, o provide a distraction. this is what i want to see however. 1:46 is the moment i want to do ingame for some odd reason!

7 Joel47 Alpha Tester 42 posts 1,387 battles Report post #14 Posted August 17, 2012 Short-lived smoke from the stacks is easy to make by adjusting the fuel-air mix, and could just be a keystroke. Smokepots dropped in your wake would make good consumables, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They changed that, now we're going to get just one ship, but a limit on the class of ship within a team (like 8 destroyers, 4 cruisers, 2 battleships and 1 carrier or something like that).

It would be something like the match making in WoT or WoWP, they will try and get that balance of ship types but it depends on how many people in queue for battle and what type and teir ships they have.
