It means you can be fairly aggressive and still get out when needed as long as you time it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[S-E] FixCVs_Nautical_Metaphor Players 3,532 posts 29,240 battles Report post #16 Posted June 28, 2021 If you want to play in a never-ending sea of eternal fog, just stick to Tier II and you are all set. No CVs there either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[BOATY] The_Chiv Players 1,592 posts 18,060 battles Report post #17 Posted June 29, 2021 Regardless of the reality all naval warships that were not subs could deploy a smoke screen when needed. Wg uses smoke as a means of balancing and as a way for a dd to not do its most important role. SPOT. Most Dds should have something more akin to the UK smoke screens and not the giant fog bank making ones like the USN. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[NWP] __Helmut_Kohl__ Beta Tester 4,156 posts 18,919 battles Report post #24 Posted June 29, 2021 The fuel-smoke on the Italian BBs is more useful against CVs than the AA on any other BB. Most CV players will actually fail or not even attempt to drop you in your smoke, unless you are a sitting duck when using it. And unlike AA, that smoke can even be used to disengage from focus-fire or to get into an aggressive position. Overall a quite useful tool, just not for damage farming. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
