Keep getting spotted behind smoke screens. Low tier no radar, outside sonar range. LAy smoke remain spotted. Have had to start playing like russian DDs or doing island ambushes

A few patches ago smoke laying changed so that you are spotted if you're going faster than 12.5 knots while laying smoke. Is that what's happening to you?

if you are 2km or less away from the enemy ship you'll be spotted.

I've been getting detected well outside of normal detection ranges lately, but haven't tried it today.

 

Yesterday there was only allies within 10km of me who would have seen any aircraft or destroyers, and my SA was pinging that aircraft have spotted me. All match.

had some ship detecting me from 2.7km. In smoke, with my sonar running. So I could see him. For some reason I was getting spotted.

If they have the detection module it increases.

Minimum ship acquisition is 3.0km for any T8+ ship using Target Acquisition System Modification 1:
