A3hayman Beta Tester 15 posts 5,149 battles Report post #26 Posted January 25, 2017 I have been playing the Neptune of late and well, British smoke working as intended my [edited]!!!! If I do 12.5 km and going to a full stop I get 1 puff and yes Im in it,But if I am doing full speed I still get 1 puff yes I am no where near it but still 1 puff I think out of the 15 games I have played in it I have had 2 puffs once!! many times ill end up just sat out side or sat in 1 puff it needs looking at for sure and making a commander skill to make said puff bigger is not a fix !!

Sure it covers you reliably, but your smoke consumable is active for the entirety of the smoke's duration, meaning that the cooldown (which, correct me if I'm wrong, is just as long as on 'regular' smoke) starts only after your smoke is pretty much gone, rather than much earlier as it is regularly. Given the choice between a buggy but mostly workable smoke with a 55 second window of vulnerability (I know I have to haul a$$ when the CD timer hits 1:00) and a working smoke (that, btw, will get some of your teammates killed who think your smoke is like any other, slow down, only for 'their' puff to vanish almost immediately as you move on) with a 152 second window of vulnerability, I'll gladly choose the former! It makes no difference since your timer refresh at the 2ed puff i mean the rendering mechanic wich differ hugely from any other smoke in the game not geting a copycat Perth smoke for all RN CL with smoke.

GioIonutz Players 245 posts 13,478 battles Report post #29 Posted January 25, 2017 As I said in the first post, its not a bug. I play only Minotaur nowdays and I smoke myself with 2 puffs when having 20knots max and slowing down up to 18. If you're under that speed, you'll get 1 and get out from the smoke. RN Cruisers are not easy to be played for new players without any experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or you could say it's mechanically working as intended, but in practice there are problems with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
