The buff that's coming to smoke generation duration more than makes up for a buff that should barely effect a well played RN cruiser. Sitting in smoke banging away in a large cruiser at close range is just begging to get devastatingly stricken back to port. Simply by adjusting to the new rules people in the Neptune in particular should do better, not worse. You're doing it wrong in a RN cruiser if this nerf is significant.
If I had to change my tactics because of the smoke nerf, it says more about my lousy choice of engagement range than about the changes to smoke. I bought the Kutuzov and am getting into the Leander and I see this change as mostly beneficial as in, "Get the hell out of my smoke bubble you so-and-so Battleships!" With a Neptune, I wouldn't effing smoke up to shoot within 10km of anything with radar anyway, and with Kutuzov more like 14km, because when throwing fire I don't like to be interrupted by radar detection, followed by focus fire by 5+ of the enemy team.Īll of that is exactly the same environment as before the smoke changes. Even more likely at that range it was 'suicide by torpedo', because your smoke bubble is small enough even a Soviet DD will have your milkshake. I've not been around for more than a few months, but this change was one of the most long-deliberated and expected changes to the game and the impact on DDs and smoke cruisers was absolutely minimal, except for Cruiser drivers who like to run in to point blank range, smoke up and expect to be invisible.Įven before the change, that's called 'suicide by radar'.

If I wanted a more POS ship than the Baltimore I'd just play the POS Baltimore. captain retraining/skills) to work up this line and WOW nerfs a primary tool of this entire line. Reference the nose dive in stats for the Neptune. The RN CA line is all but useless after the smoke detection change.
