Klingon coating devices

I'm all ok for a DD shooting me from a fog screen while being invisible but for God's sake I had a [edited]annoying Sims shooting me from 8-10 kms with no cover for 4 minutes while being invisible. That should not be possible.

You may be, but I'm not. Hiding and spamming torps is OK, but shooting is too much...

maximum spotting range of the sims from a BB is 9.5km, any further than that and you're never going to see it no matter what he does. As for smoke, i think the spotting range with gunfire is something like 1-2km, and if you're being lit-up by another ship then he'll easily be able to see you while staying in/behind his smoke screen.

Really? Because from what I could tell concealment breaks when you fire your guns even when there is nothing in your concealment range. At least enemies always notice me when I shoot them (the commander skill notifies me).

That's exactly what I was complaining about. I thought we left those stunts back at the alpha. I want my InviSenjo if it can be done then.

wow ppl found out that u can fire your DD guns without getting spotted. every DD can do this you just need to know at what range you must stay to be hidden

Well, I did know it happened on alpha but until today I thought they made it so you get uncovered if you shoot.

Where can we find those data? In the port I found only the minimum distance I'll get spotted without firing

[Bambusbar]

Isn't that the same?

[eidias]

i know, but it tells you the range you get spotted by other ships/planes if you don't fire.  What Shepbur wrote seems to be another value

Sims is bugged. When one could see the tracers, and not the ship, and at less than 10km...

[warlock07rox]

Unfortunately haven't had the chance to play yet but from what im reading here is it like wot where ships cant be spotted till certain distances depending on type of ship? So bigger ships ie BBs will be getting hit by invisible smaller ships?

No, and you could easily enter Beta by purchasing a package.

Yea I could and thanks for replying but will wait till open beta as ive no interest in buying any of the ships in the packages .

So other US DD are buged too?

I'm asking, because Mahan and Benson allows you to do the same.

[Flavio1997]

guys...the main problem is when a bb like amagi is hiding in someone smoke  and you can't see her while she/he is firing...

Well, I never found a Mahan or a Benson doing the "portable bush" tactic. Successfully, I mean.

BTW, OP, it is Klingon Cloaking Device.

Then it is time to give it a try.

[Celandri]

only ship i seen that can do the super klingon cloaking stunt is Sims at over 10km range. under that they get detected pretty fast. and somehow cruisers have huge range detection 15-20km, and destroyers way longer like 20km+ range,

but if you get detected once they loose the cloaking for rest of the battle, and any ship can find you up to 15km including bb unless you use smoke

[sunday]

Let me wax lyrically.

 

I've… seen things you people wouldn't believe… Sims destroyers uncloaking and cloaking again at less than 10km. I watched HE tracers come out of a grey fog near the northern cap in North map. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like [small cough] tears… in… rain. Time… to fix those bloody bugs, damnit!

The smoke effect is just to broken atm, 2 battleships in smoke will stay invisible for as long as they are inside the smoke even when they are shooting. An Atlanta shooting its guns as fast as it could reload stayed invisible at around 10km not getting spotted once.  And then there is the smoke effect at long range,

[Bl4ckh0g]

You know that the Klingon's only brought the cloaking devices from the Romulans, right? They are Romulan cloaking devices, you salted slug

 

Jesus what a bunch of uncultured swine......

 

 

(if you will take this post seriously, I will find you and I will slowly explain to you in great detail why are you a humorless bastard)

[Entilzha66]

Yeah, the torp. animation is broken aswell, I had torps. hit me, heard the sounds but NO visual!

After triangulating, the torps were fired from WITHIN a smoke screen.

 

It needs to be adressed.

Nope, torpedo launching should not break stealth, and does not.
