[WGB] iJoby Community Contributor 2,171 posts 30,925 battles Report post #2 Posted July 23, 2017 An Italian BB sitting in his smoke for 40 seconds and no ability to manoeuvre from a wall of torps aimed at the smoke, Imaging how pleased that will make DD owners. Not such a good idea after all. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not such a good idea after all. HMAS Perth style smoke is a creeping smoke. If you add in the smoke deploying time etension special modification I think you get 2 minutes of smoke. Might be useful.

rvfharrier Weekend Tester 805 posts 4,630 battles Report post #16 Posted July 23, 2017 Not sure where the OP gets his information! I've read that their gimmick will be a new consumable, introduced especially for the Italian lines, that allows you to change to the other team mid-battle. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard the mafia was still looking for him to this day. OT: We already know speed boost is going on French BBs, so at least that leaves Italian ships with a number of at least useful consumables.

Or it will have only 50% engine power on any map with ice or snow.... Or they could just make a solide line of Battleships, maybe a bit on the faster side with good guns and agility but a bit lacking on the armor part? But you are right they will come up with something gimmicky. I think it will be speedboost for the Italian battleships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much balance. It may be fake news, maybe just OP trolling a bit because of no source for such info. The sad thing for me here is that the trust in devs looking at how the game goes doesn't completely make me discard OPs post as completely false and impossible. I mean... what arguments should I really have to not trust it? That it would make BB to some extent don't need the support of DDs to be able to make a save turn and retreat from a bad position for example? That it could be arguably OP? We have Hood with Def. AA already and aparently the new RN BBs will be able to choose between that and f****ing radar on a BB. It can't go much worse than that already. Italian BBs with Perth smoke?

Experienced DD players, NO, in fact average DD players will see it's moving smoke and aim torps accordingly, surely you know this!! and to be in smoke moving, wont the BB be only moving at max 14knts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
