My 380 foot long Fubuki can be effectively covered with smoke, her slow speed also helps her to stay covered, while my 460 foot long Tashkent has a much more difficult time staying in smoke, even at a slower speed because she is 80 foot longer, it makes it easier for her to poke out of the smoke screen. I also think she decelerates a bit slower, probably due to her displacing 1000 tons more. Wouldn't it make sense if a larger ship could put out more smoke? Also maybe higher tier destroyers could put out better, or longer smoke even if by only a few tens of seconds longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

221 [NNC] Jakajan Members 1,186 posts 22,147 battles Report post #3 Posted March 27, 2016 Hm, there is already a difference in smoke by nation. Japanese smoke does not last as long as others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure someone smarted can quote the actual numbers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you have to use smoke, it's because you either screwed up and got flanked or the CV has a hard on for you. In the case of the latter, just alt tab out and complain on the forums. You're not going to survive. The use case for offensive use of smoke has been eliminated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
