Yes ofcourse. As long as the smoke is in the line of sight between 2 ships, it will block the spotting (if none of the other rules, that ive mentioned in my post above, applies). This works, when the ships are in the smoke or the smoke is 2, 5, 10 or even 19 km away from the ship.

Using a Charles Martel does wonder too. Sometimes we get the frist Myoko before it really gets moving. And yea, most likely WG just forgot about them, when buffing the IJN Cruisers. Maybe we should... @MrConway or @Crysantos about this? Im not sure how huge of a problem this is overall, how much it has impacted the success rate of Cherry Blossom but maybe its worth a look into the stats?

Erm. There is no friendly smoke, no enemy smoke. Smoke is smoke. It blocks what it blocks. What isnt blocked, is spotted by any other rule, defined by the game. These are: proximity spotting, hydro, radar, spotting by planes, spotting after firing your maingun.

My god, for a moment I thought, "PARTYTIME" is a WG bonus code, that gives you a Sims, 360days premium and those signals.I guess Im waaay too optimistic (and because you always post those codes in general hehe)

Yea, DDs are fucked - WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED ? Im enjoying DD-play right now, since they hardly were ever that strong. But with 0.8.0? Hell aint no way im bringing a DD into battle.

Man. 57k free XP. You stomped my dynamo-record right there and you even played with 5 guys. But your 68k dmg are crazy 0o. Hats of to you sir!

After 0.8.0 I will just make sure to division with you, when I decide to play high tier. Problem solved for me.

Funny thing: I could make use of that in the last round I just played. Took a screen because I remembered this thread :D

I cant take Flamuu serious on that matter. Also yesterday he went after a game "here is the reason, we won: balansgrad". Then quickly close the scoresheet because... the red team had a Stalingrad aswell. Nice. If he would have lost that round - would he have pointed at the red Stalin "here is the reason, why we lost: Balansgrad"? Not saying anything about Stalin but just that Flamus opinion isnt really neutral on that one.

Hell yes, that makes sense. Why wasnt I able to connect 1+1 on that one. I was wondering WTF is wrong there, since we lost a star recently there and the other times I thought, they did deal a lot of damage while we were actually superfast in killing them. Come on WG... did you forgot about that one or is this just another way of constantly making the OPs harder?

No, you are wrong. It was changed. @Caughtintherain nowadays, the smoke blocks vision for planes. You can leave the smoke and not be detected, if the smoke is exactly between you and the plane. I do it regularly in OP Dynamo, so this does work. It was somewhere in the patchnote aswell.

Oh no you just gave WG the idea for the next nation-gimmick-consumable. Well, guess it will be the thing of the italian cruisers then.

I stood before the same question and wanted to get me a T7 DD. So basically it was between Sims, Blsyka, Leningrad and Z-39. In the end I went with Z-39, because 2 of the guys I often play with, recently got it and said, its awesome. But since you say, you are looking for a crew trainer: Sims has an advantage over all the other DDs in that sense and that is called "Operation Dynamo". Not sure if you are into that, but one round can get you 40...70k captain XP. So you can easily retrain captains on Sims or even use a dedicated captain to grind elite captain XP hardcore. If I wouldnt have Farragut and Mahan setup exclusivly for that purpose - I would have prolly gone with Sims. With its AA its the best choice for Dynamo anyway.

Might aswell be, that he wants, a ship that is spotted inside of a smokescreeen, shouldnt be visible in zoom, only in normal view? But my guess is at good as yours Somehow I have the feeling, @GarrusBrutus did horrible things to him, thats why he came here to share his ... feelings?

T7 and T9 CVs are getting removed, thus you get a full refund on your perma-camos, if you have one on those CVs. Right now, all perma-camos are on sale, 50% down. So you buy them now and get double the dubloons back, when the CV-rework hits the server with the next patch. (Dont blame me, if it doesnt work, but many people are doing this right now and it sounds logical).

It might be, that people are trying to quickly grind the tree to make use of that dubloon-thing with the perma-camo? Had some fresh CVs today aswell, one actually did is frist game in Langley (experianced acc tho)

Yea, Ive seen one of that kind, where the gameplay matches the stats. full throttle from spawn, straight into enemys, never WASD, shoots his DD-guns a couple of times before dead. Rinse & repeat I guess.... Must be throwing real cash at WG to pay the ships maintenance after every round tho? Hey BLUB_BLUB - today I finaly discovered, how to make the KGV useful: ram something I know, T5 BB and so but it was the best I could find. And if anyone ever tells me, that KGV is a good firestarter... Ill just refer to @DFens_666 and his Shchors who made Arsonist 3:50 into that very same game, while my guns failed to even hit that damn Gneisenau.

Ive been wondering this myself. If WG is/was so concerned about the state of CVs, like those recent long posts and videos suggest, then why didnt they in the last 2+ years test different things? Could have tested all the different kind of suggestions from the community. Yet they did nothing. Now all of a sudden, we should buy that they care so much and they only way is a complete rework? Yea right. Yea. And this one! If that is so - FKKIN SCRAP THE TESTSERVERS.

So much for english-skills: Nowhere does this sentence suggest, that I think or even want people to be restricted from playing randoms. Good job! Maybe you should leave the english forum to the ones, that can understand the language? As for beeing touchy for insults: Every post, you left in the topic is either abusive, offensive, insulting or atleast rude. If you demand other people to behave, you should try and lead by example. So far, you are setting an example in the other direction. I will quote you again_ Im sorry to tell you: the most toxic person in this thread is you...

CV-Rework sucks and needs to be stopped (I guess).

And dont you ask yourself, why your post, that isnt even the starting one, is causing more reaction then the OP? Its not for you to decide, what he is allowed to post and what not. Thats the moderators job. However, when you are telling people, they have no right to post here, then you are clearly overstepping your boundaries... And? Did he insult you? Did he insult anyone else personaly? He didnt. And just for the record: "Players" like the ones mentioned in the OP are the most annoying stuff in this game. They might aswell be restricted to co-op, it doesnt matter to them. Even more: it might be a bot, in that case, you are literally defending something, that has only one job: to destroy this game.

Where is your opinion on the OP? Your opinion seems to be the need to deny any non-english-native the right to use the INTERNATIONAL part of the forum. btw: Ive seem native british people, that had such a horrible grammar, I wonder how they did pass elementary school?

Sigh. Its normal, that half-way decent players get more damage out of defeats. And because of that, and the way PR is calculated (which has ABSOLUTLY nothing to do with the game btw), it will rise, when you do more damage. You want to know why (maybe you dont, but ill still write it down): If you team is so crap, that they will lose the game, you have more chances to deal damage, since there are more enemys around for you to shoot at. When you team is so good, that they´ll win, no matter what you do - they will deal that damage. My highest damage games have all been on defeats. Often I win games with super low damage, because we just stomp over the enemys. Also, then I dont care, if I take a little bit more damage or not, and many people act like that. Thus giving the guy, fighting against the defeat, even more damage. Its simple logic... not black magic.

Exactly this. May I ask @tomando1 since you have figured it out, that you cant handle T8 matches - why do you pick a T8 ship and bring it into battle? Pick another tier then? Couldnt be farer away from the truth. Its actually CVs.
