[Legendary_Typo]

How do you know he's 4km away if you can't see him?

Not to mention, I can't think of any DD at that tier that can be unseen at 4km.   Unless he was in smoke...  But then you have a giant grey cloud that has "DD HERE" written all over it.

what gets me is how is he not seen,no smoke ,hes firing shells, hes 4km away ,within eye sight ,yet i cannot see him untill i sink!!

replay or didn't happen, as nothing can be within 4km firing, not in smoke, and unseen

[Macabe]

Because it was further than 4km away.

Actually, a DD can hide in smoke at 3km.

That picture was featured in my studies earlier this year. Really beautiful IMO.

Yeah, I deepest and thought it said "Nothing can hide a 4km, smoke or no smoke."

[Crucis]

Because it was further than 4km away.

 

Or the DD was sitting in smoke that the player couldn't see.  I know that on my computer, if you zoom in on a close target, the smoke isn't visible, but it is still there, whether you can see it or not.

Minekaze = 5.9 base, -10% for captain skill, -3% for camo = 5.1

Umi = 5.6 base, -10% captain skill -3% camo = 4.9

Mutsuki = 6 base (with hull C), -10% captain, -3% camo = 5.2

Fubuki = 6.3 (after CS1), - 10% captain, -3% camo = 5.3

 

So, yes, it is quite possible that he did not see him until the KM reading was 4 (well, would have seen a non umi at 5.1+, but if the DD was approaching fast then the BB captain may not have triggered the reading measurement display until it was 4.99 or some such making the reading 4km)

 

So, yes, this seems possible to me.

I am fine with it and do not see any issue at the moment.

Fired the torps from farther away and continued forward towards the target (you). Maybe to keep you focused on him and not on the impending doom?

[aether_tech]

rendering error they still haven't fixed, probably was in smoke that wasn't rendering either.

i cannot help but always to see the white foam there as a lot of tiny white hands ready to catch the boats

really creepy ><

[HARDCORE_BR]

Dont let these little pests get 4km of your Battleship. Thats already almost death sentence.   But if you can't see him from 4km , he just popped smoke , and you were having problems to see the smoke ( pc issues ). And got rekt . If you are a BB, keep your eye on minimap lol , dont get them get that close .

[Skpstr]

Show us a replay or screenshot. I'll bet there's a small hazy grey border around the screen, which indicates smoke when you are too close to see the cloud.
