Seriously... why not purple? :hmm: Are we sure they used white smoke? It could be coloured...

When I was in the army we had smoke grenades in various different colours. Not sure if these coloured smokes were already in use in WW2 though.

Do we even know how the smoke was generated?

Well I'd say at least a little bit greyer, like the torpedo impact in this shot

In my opinion the smoke should be much darker. I have not seen RL-Pictures from "smoking S-Boots" but i would sugest that a black smoke barrier is a much better sight protection than a white one.
Kind regards

Why would black smoke be better? At daytime white smoke would catch the light much better and therefore create a better diffuse effect, and at night it was proven that white was best for camouflage, which is why the S-Boots are painted white.

Anyway, I think it has been established now that the smoke was a middle to light grey... apparently light tobacco smoke.

Fantastic mod...tried yesterday evening and passed half of the patrol time in the fore flak position screamong things like I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD...etc:p . I was so excited that i forgot to watch the fuel level and my patrol ended near Doggerbank , so my question is: What is the best cruising speed?

[Lord_FLB]

Ahoi,

for me - the smoke has the rigt Color - because it has to be look like fog! And that it does... no need to bring them darker... like Boris said. The exaust Smoke of the Diesel is still there in the mod, is'nt it Mikhayl ? So for that, I think the smoke of the fog-cans is ok like this.

In a near future the flotillas files will be adapted to s-boot and there will also be additionnal bases available for refueling.
That's something I didn't look at much yet, but the s-boot flotillas had "tender" used to refuel at sea, so maybe a few milk-cows lookalike could be added.

It would be useful implementing a "refuel" system similar to SH4, that allows you to refuel without stopping the game...but I dont know if the game engine will allow that:hmm: .........Now, the real question: When you will release the next major update with the new extracool effects?
I hope soon ...but take the time that you need, this mod is fantastic

When I smoke my Cuban cigars the smoke is some darker grey
I love that color.

One could easily read that more than one way.:rotfl:

Looking good, bye the way.

Military smoke-grenades and shells cause various type of smokes, depends on used chemicals. I can say, that light-grey or even white color is OK. Darker smoke appears, when some carbonides (C) burning - I mean, wood, leafs or smthg. If there are no actual fire, just chemical reaction between reagents in smoke-shell, smoke should be light coloured. Not speaking about matters of coloured smokes - black smoke, red, green etc.
Great work on interface... Looking for new release, guys) Good luck in your job.

Nice job on the smoke effect so far.

Now,
Are you ready to make it confuse the AI?

Have I lied to you yet?
:rotfl:

You know I'll sent a PM ar 2 over the weekend.

I think you'll like the idea.
