Cosseria Players 1,064 posts 4,944 battles Report post #4 Posted January 21, 2017 Why should I want to make my smoke screen bigger, while lasting less? Duration is the most important parameter here. Same goes for Speed boost. I don't want it to last longer, I want it to be even more powerful. Existing modules will be much more useful than those. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[SCRUB] AgarwaenME Beta Tester 4,811 posts 13,808 battles Report post #6 Posted January 21, 2017 The engine boost upgrade could be worthwhile, the rest are either too weak and/or competing against more important equipment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sander93 Beta Tester 990 posts 3,431 battles Report post #8 Posted January 21, 2017 Fleet protection But the standard smoke screen is big enough to hide an entire fleet already. Duration is much more valuable IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zathras_Grimm Players 1,438 posts Report post #10 Posted January 21, 2017 Interesting - RPF is still not enough. Smoke duration less and Hydro, Radar and Spotters up longer. Yep, I'm glad I'm having a break from the game for a while, looks as though it will be for 2 patches at least. (Lol I said in another thread I've learned to dread the 'next patch release' announcement! ) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[TOXIC] eliastion Players 4,795 posts 12,260 battles Report post #16 Posted January 21, 2017 It is good for Perth. Now you can shoot at 15 km range in 4 minutes Possibly for other UK cruisers as well, since smoke-setting time is their major problem. If it ends up giving them a reliable second smoke puff, it might be good enough that some people take it. Also, while the duration is reduced, the actual reduction is lower than listed because it's generally the last puff of smoke that counts. If available on German t2 DD (lowest duration in the game) the actual duration might even increase since it has setting time of 20 seconds and duration: 45 s. With +30% setting time you gain 6 seconds. With -12% duration you lose 5,4 seconds. So, your last puff should actually last ever-so-slightly longer (counting from when you start laying smoke) than it does normally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hadn't thought of that, so the smoke isn't only modified in a way that isn't great for DD, but it also helps Cruisers.....who hunt DDs. F**k me WG did a DD Captain do something to one of you in a previous life? Ok disbelief aside (yep I'm gonna try to laugh as oppose to cry lol ), I have heard that the smoke on the RN cruisers has been broken for a while. The Belfast is a pain in the arse but if it is given equipment to use in the game then at least it should work correctly. If this is why WG is implementing the change then I support it. I don't believe the smoke change will hurt DDs specifically, and the longer the smoke trail is, the more of your ships it covers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest its useful on the Moskva and Des Monies. It will last a century on the Des Moines. The smoke upgrade is probably only worth it on RN CLs.

[CPA] Procrastes Beta Tester 4,083 posts 4,481 battles Report post #23 Posted January 25, 2017 The Smoke Generator modification 1, and Spotting Aircraft modification 1, sounds like they would be a major boost for the Perth, at any rate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You cannot have them both as they occupy the same slot. But yes the Smoke generator could be a big Perth buff. However, you can only obtain these modifications from Super containers.
