The smokestacks on ship now emit a massive amount of smoke that obstructs the view for some reason, why was this needed? Same deal with the ''''improved'''' mach wave that is just detrimental to gameplay.

Smokestacks emit smoke, more news at 10

Joking aside hadn’t even noticed a change if I’m honest and I play naval more than other modes these days

The smoke is extremely thick now and right in your face, maybe you're playing ships where that is less of an issue.

Mostly destroyers and corvettes for me

Just seems like an entirely unnecessary change to the game and just obstructive to view, I constantly have to play zoomed in to see the enemy behind the smoke.

Glad I'm not the only one that notices the new wave effect when entering mach. That ♥♥♥♥ is quite literally so trash I can't see ♥♥♥♥ around my plane when that happens.

Everyone notices it but this thread is about naval smokestacks not mach

OP also said same thing with mach so I decided to give my 2 cents on it being ♥♥♥♥ too. As far as naval goes I don't play it because I find the controls horrible and that it's just one big sniping match for the most part. But with the link OP posted it's clear Gaijin is terrible when it comes to design choices for effects. Want to introduce something like a change or new addition when the previous was so much better.

I mean I mentioned both, it's primarily the smokestacks but it's the exact same type of issue.

How it is now compared to how it used to be, pretty ridiculous in my opinion.

Aesthetically it does feel more appropriate, functionally I think they need to rethink the camera if they want to keep it

I think it looks better, but it also comes at the cost of blocking player vision.

I personally don't have an issue with it on my vehicles, I zoom in or use the gun view anyway. The issue comes when Gajin has spawns really tight together, and everyone forms one giant pack, and then you really can't see or shoot.

Visually it looks nicer, but it should not be detrimental to gameplay.. plus I kinda question how realistic it is as well

Slightly thicker smoke compared to how it used to be is fine, but this is as if we're firing up these ships for the first time in 50 years.

Excuse the tangent but those spawns need to change anyway. It does my head in getting bodyblocked in a huge cluster moving straight at the enemy spawn in vehicles with so much inertia we can’t easily or quickly extricate ourselves

Considering the population of naval (including myself), maybe that's more accurate than you think it is

I definitely fired up the ship for this first time in probably 2 years, although definitely regretted that decision and the smoke was only part of it.
