The Fletcher moves out as her smoke screen dissipates. Smoke has no effect on the spotting of torpedoes. However, a ship in smoke that is spotted by other means is visible to and can be attacked by aircraft.įire on a ship concealed by smoke does not increase its visibility. Within a smoke screen, a ship cannot be spotted by aircraft, even if it is firing at them or someone else. The range is typically 2.0km but can be increased.
The vision obscuring effect is not absolute within the assured detection range ships detect each other without regard to LoS. Any ship may enter or use a smoke screen, even if it was laid by the enemy. In terms of detection, smoke interrupts line-of-sight (LoS). The effect applies equally to ships inside a smoke screen: a ship in smoke can target an opponent at range, but someone else must spot it for her. Why Smoke ?Ī smoke screen does one thing: it obscures vision, preventing those outside the smoke from seeing into or past it.
A smoke generator produces smoke 'puffs' at regular intervals that merge to form the smoke cloud or screen.
