Ships shottng invisible ships have accuracy penalty. Ships shooting from smoke dont have that penalty.

 

Temporary fix for attacking from smoke:

1] no ability to lock ships -> no ability having imba snipping ability and being almost unhitable

2] no aim assists for torps

 

Balance In case radar/hydro attacking to smoke:

1] no ability to lock ships

2] no aim assists for torps:

 

And make that [edited]game breaking system finally better.

Ships are balanced around their capability to use smoke and shoot from it. So if you want it removed they will be rebalanced on an other area. Taking the shooting from smoke away is for some ships the same as taking the guns away from a BB. imho there is no problem with it, just take out the spotter, get out of reach or torp the smoke. imho the best way to deal with it is a hard push, but that needs teamplay ....... 

 

Edit, don't forget that there are many counter measures such as radar against smoke.

Yes, remove snipping from smoke, remove torpedoes, remove aircraft carriers and just play. You might as well go to casino, press the button and wait for the result. Will it feel good?

This game is turning into World of Shore Batteries. Smokey cruisers sitting in smog, campy BBs sitting bow on near max range. Add some islands into the mix and you can completely disable WASD whatsoever. Chess is often more dynamic than the current meta. Something should be done, the sooner the better.

I have a better idea.

Remove repair-flooding button! I line up a torping attack, hit the oblivious battleship and deal little to no flooding damage? Flooding shouldn't be affected by repair party! As a balancing factor it can become fully repairable like fire is.

Just say no.

 

At times like this I seriously consider that I don't deserve the amount of in-game karma points I have...

 

You clearly have too much free time :D

Hi Airwolf,

 

There's little point in expressing dissatisfaction with the game design on this forum.

 

Doing so merely presents an opportunity for the usual suspects to mock. A chance for them to dig out a meme, which they believe might make them appear clever or funny maybe? Also, those fortunate to be well versed in English will take the opportunity to display their superior knowledge and mock.

 

I don't understand why they do it other than to inflate their ego. Choosing to ignore a thread or post they have no interest in seems beyond them. It's as though your post takes up some precious attention time?

 

On topic. I agree. The meta does seem too reliant upon smoke and there's too much static play.

 

Septic.

Snippa = what Swedish kids call a vagina.

Smoke was put down by ships so that they could move in a direction with out that direction being spotted till the smoke dispersed. The ship that layed the smoke could not see through it shoot at apposing ships, that is the way that it should be in this game as well. Even if you used radar or hydro on a ship in smoke it should not become totaly visible as it is in game now, it should give you a direction  or show you a shimmering stuttering image instead. 

 

What would other player think?

Yes I agree to. That is why we need fewer BB's per team :popcorn:

You cant see out of smoke already, nothing to fix. Or do you mean, that you should only see targets you spot by yourself? Then gl ever seeing something in your borderhumping BBs

Obviously doesn't count for battleships, what were you thinking. Rules only applies as long as they don't negatively impact the preferred ship of the whiners. This guy certainly didn't reinforce the stereotype of battleships players.:trollface:

that's actually a cool idea. And how it worked in reality and could work in game. However they went down the path of making smoke conceal yourself in big Smokey bubbles. It's now become a big game mechanic and I think there is no going back.

 

However there are lots of tools to counter it so it's not game breaking.
