Actually, in one of the most recent patches, I think SDE may have ninja-fixed the smokes showing the enemy dots on the mini-map. I've noticed lately that even when the area near the smoke is scouted (by planes or by teammates ships), it seems that the dots still don't show up. Maybe I'm wrong and just haven't paid close enough attention to the details, but I'm pretty sure this is the case. I'm gonna watch the HA videos that Fara just put up to verify or disprove this, and I will edit my post as necessary with my findings.

Alright, videos just proved it (even with the super-fast speed). Smoke now does NOT show the enemy dot on the mini-map even if the area with the smoke is swarming with friendly scouts or ships. Another ninja-fix brought to you by SDE...

Actually, no it hasn't thundercats. Even if the enemy ship was under smoke, the mini-map would still show their red dot on it if he was scouted by planes or ships. You could judge which way they were heading and almost exactly where they were if you zoomed in on the smoke and watched the red dot on the mini-map. Only recently does this appear to have been fixed. Might wanna get your facts straight before trying to flame.

how i love smokes that i don't even use it so now i have over 1k smokes in my account <3

it's really funny that your little teamm8s pop smokes for you in some meaningless situation
and the most funniest thing is,
you are flag and running , enemy BBs are blind and don't know where to find me and no one is shooting me
but they just still pop a smoke

i said, " .......................................... nice one.. now they know where to find me"

or maybe this is ABing lol

So I had three squadrons (4+4+3) of UK Torpedo bombers heading towards enemy Bravo lines.

An Andrea Doria is steaming south and a US CV heading north about to cross each other.


I put two squadrons on the BB and one on the CV.

Just when the TBs get near, the enemy BB pops a smoke for both CV and himself.

But I release the Torps and they ..............sink both BB and CV...under their smoke cloud.

Simple solution. Let BB5-6s not able to pop smoke.
