Bad ideas.

Pop and run doesn't work with British Cruisers, as their smoke is offensive in nature, pop smoke and shoot. Just to note: I thought the introduction of smoke on anything other than a DD was a poor choice. With DDs smoke is multi-faceted and should WG need to adjust it for game balance, it could be don't with little difficulty, but once it is installed on other types of ships it becomes too powerful.

How did you arrive at this conclusion? If it was suppose to be used for just one thing, why is there a variance in smoke between DDs? British CL smoke is an effective offensive tool, but as a defensive tool it is lacking.

What were the US Battleships doing in 1944?

Seriously?

Good question.

Agreed.

From a DDs (Mid-Tier) point of view, causing fire damage to a new or inexperienced player can have a significant effect on the game, but vs an experienced BB player... not really. You lack the DPS. Zero sum. If I am sitting in smoke spamming HE at BB, that means I am not scouting, screening or smoking for my team, plus my torpedoes are pretty much dormant. Sometimes, spamming HE damage actually is of a negative benefit to winning the game. So not useless, but less than useless. It just all depends on the tactical situation. I don't believe flooding and fire are handle the same way by experienced BB players. I could be wrong.

I am not against what you would like to achieve.

Can't nerf cowardice, but perhaps they could use it.

Kiev can be spec. out to have a 9Km concealment. In smoke, WG proposal 2Km proximity... his proposal 4.5km proximity.

WG proposal doesn't effect DD concealment.... your suggestion does.

Which is what many BB players want. Bow on, press the left mouse button every 30 sec.

This is considerable worse than what WG proposed.

Smoke isn't the cause.

Ships on European server 1 week WR Damage Kills HSF Harekaze 52.02% 29,975 0.7 Kagero 50.69% 31,820 0.7 Some odd stats.

For DDs, I agree with you, but for British CL? I am not so sure.

The result I was after was a higher win rate... I did not achieve that. I tried twice about 100 games each time; and was not happy with my performance. My conclusion based on stats... nothing really wrong with the ships... something wrong with my game play. I think I was/am just more comfortable with a torpedo based destroyer.

Stats. My stats. EU Server Stats Tier 5 Gnevny 49.92% 19,048 Damage My Stats Gnevny 50.44% 28,275 Damage My stats in the old tier 5 Gnevny showed that while I was doing about average damage, my win rate was not so good. It was something in the way I was playing. Stats can give you a chance for some self reflection, perhaps a possibility to correct play style. With the Gnevny I never found it.

One of the issues I have noticed is... lack of understanding of AA. I usually end up with +30 aircraft destroyed, but that only happens because a lot of DDs finish with few that 10 aircraft shot down. Since everyone starts with equal captain and ship... It might be helpful if they had included the option (after the battle to watch a video) showing how to spec ships and captains for AA. Sort of click these button to learn more.

Typical.

I fully believe that British BBs will succeed where none have before... in reducing the number of German BBs play on the EU server!!!! Of course I don't see overall BB number falling.

Sorry, I left the not out of my sentence. Implying. S_O has indicated he thinks there are too many BBs, so the concept of adding more game play seems to be at odds with his statement. Doesn't mean they won't do it.
