[2019] SO? Whats the counter?

Hey Col_Nasty,

The number one counter to ships sitting in smoke in a BB is learning to use your spotter plane correctly (if your BB has one). This is a skill that takes time to master but you will see results if you keep practicing. There are also other options you can do but this depends on how far away from the smoke you are and what ship you are in.

Options:

Spotter Plane is first and foremost. Learn to use this consumable and you will see results. There are very few things that are as satisfying doing good damage to ships sitting in smoke.


If you are in a German BB with hydro, you can try and rush the smoke. This is risky because if you are spotted while trying to move to the smoke the ship in the smoke and other ships will shoot you.


The easiest thing to do is just disengage and use your concealment to put distance between you and the smoked area.

Good luck and definitely learn to use the Spotter plane, look for where the shells are coming from in the smoke and fire at it. Remember you will not have "locked on" aim so the shells will disperse more.

When you are in the spotter plane view, you can see more clearly where the tracers are originating from the smoke. This doesn't make the ship visible, just allows you to get a better idea of where the ship is and where to aim.

Anytime, it will take some getting used to but if you can learn to do this properly the results will be good for you =).
