Well, good to hear that someone is seeing more smoke at least some times - after I posted my screenshot, it dawned on me to check out the screenshot thread, and there seemed to be very little funnel smoke on any of the ships in those shots, so I was getting a little worried there wouldn't be much.

Then, since I had a few minutes, I decided to do a little research (one of the reason I love these sims - always give me a good excuse to learn a little more). The shots below are pretty typical of what I've been able to find so far:





Looks like maybe the devs got this one right (way to go Devs! - see, some of us can say nice things about the Devs) - seems that the "modern" warships and fleet support ships (which are really all I've seen in motion so far during sub school) just didn't put out much smoke compared to the older, commercial freighters I'm used to seeing in the Atlantic. Sounds like the game has both the smoky and the not-so-smoky types in it, which is really cool that they thought to do that.
