​Please note that this would have a major inpact in the game. A lot of vessels count on the smoke to do damage savely. All those vessels should be rebalanced. This would take a lot of time.

And how quickly do you think that many vessels will return to the border when a DD or plane neutralises the smokescreen. Untill that camping means a sudden death, a lot of players will stay camping. Also imagine two big smokescreens in opposite of eachother. Do you realy think most players will push ? I don't think so. The chance is that you will see a lot less targets during the batle. Alsao a lot of discusion of who should be spotting behind the enemy smokescreen (and posible meet a very quick death.).

DD's could do that, but do you realy want the currently most agresive players play defensive ? By the way you want that DD closer to the enemy to nutralize a posible smokescreen there You don't want a CV in front of your main batle group. The chance a DD will spot it is just to big. So an CA/CL is the only candidate for it. There are CA's with a low detectability range, but when they fire their guns the chance is to big that they are detected by a DD. If they hide behind the curtain, there is no spotter and is the smokescreen useless. Futher more in that case you don't even earn the spotting damage. This will only result in camping behind a smokescreen. Only the one who lays the smoke contributes something to the teamplay. The only place where this could be handy is as an kind of batle reserve in teambatles.

​ If you can only support the team and litle else, tell me where the fun is sailing such a vessel. For example a CV can support a team very well. However after a serie of nerfsf on the damage of the CV , the CV almost disapeared on high tier. Wich resulted in a big increase in the number of DD's. If a CA can lay smoke for the team and he must act as a spotter, he can't fire his guns in fear of being detected , and make the whole smokescreen worthless. Tell me where is the fun for the player of that vessel. Besides that I can already tell you that if that CA is detected after laying the smokescreen , the team will not defend her. (Look at the CA's who promised to defend a DD capping and sail away when they see the first ennemie). In this case they will still be shooting at the easiest targets instead of the bigest risk of the spotter. Would you play such a vessel in random ?

Being the one that lays the smoke. Cause in fact he can't do anything. you become just an spotter. If you fire your guns, you will be detected. I think no one plays this game to be a spotter. And with the average current playstyle in mind, If you do that, and you get in trouble, you don't have to expect your team members to defend you.

Please keep your facts straight. Fire damage is only a small part of the average damage done to BB's. This is due cause all fire damage can be repaired. Fire does a lot more damage to CA at tier 3-8. Cause the can't repair that damage. The most damage done to a BB is AP shot by another BB. Fire might be iritating but in the end it doesn't do mayor damage.

​Please inform us what we reported about the RN CL. Cause you wouldn't make this conclusion whithout knowing what we reported. It also seems like you don't have any idea how the ST works. We don't make any decisions, we don't even draw early conclusions. When did the RN CL appear on the live server ? At the momemt nothing is sure about the RN CL, as this shows, you everything is subject to change.

​If you have fun with your current ships, there is none. When you get bored with it you move up.

As told by WG, kamikaze will enter this game. You might want to use those planes to spot for your team

Op you can do better. Studie this topic: http://forum.worldofwarships.eu/index.php?/topic/61663-how-to-report-hackers-outside-of-game-or-post-limit-reach/ This is the quality of trolling we are looking for.

An Indianapolis doesn't need a permanent commander so it is a wast of a good commander. Make him permanent for the pepsi and retrain him with the Indi. Tier 7 difficult ?? Most of the time I'm top tier with my tier 7. I would keep the other commander where it is.

You mean that the report for hacking will be automatically be changed into a compliment untill proven otherwise.

Here the answer to your question : https://eu.wargaming.net/support/kb/articles/32 Add as much prove as posible. Please note that many software company work with a reliability rating. If you cry wolf to many times, your future reports will be thrown into the trash. On the other hand if you are right, your reports will be reviewed sooner and more seriously.

Most of the time there are multiple explanations for things that aren't clear at first. For example yesterday I sailed in my tier 7 CA. Was undetected and got one shooted by an Iowa. That was realy a WTF moment. So what Happend : A) the Iowa hacked the server just to ruin my gameplay B) I overlooked the warning that I was detected C) The Iowa was aiming at a vessel near me, missed and citadelled me instead. D) I was lagging and the the warning of being detected never showed upon my screen E) A Bug F) The Iowa was realy Lucky when he pushed his mouse buton by accident G) Something I didn't think of yet. B till G are all more logical as that somebody uses his skills to hack the WG server and take the risk of a criminal sanction. I you have the skills and want to take such a risk there are many more profitable ways to use those skills. P.S. it just to keep the topic going

​People please go on. was a long time ago that I had this much fun on the forum. Some people might even learn something. The quality of trolling was very low the last months.

​Please send me a copy of your bot program

​I agree with you till a certain point. I like when players do unusual things, only the example is wrong. It is proven that going through the midle at the beginning of the game will result in a sudden death. I can't imagine that somebody could have fun in being slaughtered. There still is a litle responsability for the rest of the team. Having fun is great but not at all costs. It is even in the rulles, so you can like to kill your own teammates, but you will be punished for it eventually. To take risks that is proven very harmfull for the team falls in my opinion in the same category. Ofcourse players do stupid things. Everybody has to learn. I find it very good if people warn teammembers politely against stupid misstakes. They can expect a compliment from me. It is up to the player to follow it or not.

​Till tier 7 you are right. Ca's can manage their self. As from tier 8 it becomes a lot more dificult.

The OP is forgetting the masive bonus he gets with this skill. -60% despertion. It means that if a DD is detected within the range it can be schreded with a few salvo's. The only downside is that you have to select the target. If the downside goes away the basic skill should be nerfed. Edit : Now I was too slow

​That is not totally true. Manual AA only affects 85 mm guns and larger. So the bonus only affects those guns. If no target selected the 85 MM (and above) will not shoot.

​A full folly of a Yamato sinks my full health T10 CA whinin 1 sec.

​I will tell you the same story from a DD point of view. At the beginning of the game you sail into the direction of the cap. Some smartass CA tells you to cap. To be polite you confirm that you are going to cap. If you are Lucky you get some CA support. But most of the time you can forget it. If you ask for support , only silence . The smartass CA can't find the chat anymore and is sailing away from the cap. When you get some support you slow down a bit so that the CA's stays whitin support range. At the moment you are near the cap, you see the enemy is capping. At that moment you also see that your support immediately turns around. That is the quality of most CA support. People forget most of the time that teamplay is a two way street, you can't expect teamplay from others when you play only for your self.

.​The answer is very simple. The ships you saw were BB's. As everyone knows BB's explode when they try to cap

​Please note, that if you want to take that road , you better not sell your Campeltown (and finish the mision) before tomorrow. The vessel is on discount now, so you only get half the usual price for it.

So it is a bug. That is why Ph3lan (see post #27) said that WG would look into this matter. My text was a reaction on a implication that everything was working as intended. It is not!
