Smoke & Fire UPon The Sea

Well smoke at any rate...
I'm wondering where all that smoke came from?....:hmm:

I have not seen so much smoke.... keeping so low to the water before. The smoke from that escort and the clouds are following the prevailing wind.

It isn't due to anything I sank...that smoke is behind me and not showing in this shot.

My first thought was that it might be Hiroshima going up

...but that event should be months in the future...though I was in roughly the proper place to observe it.

I tried tracking it down with the external camera but it dissipated before I got close enough to see. Wasn't anything there when I got close to the spot...

It has got to be some kind of bug. I have seen this as well, popping up real quick and going away just as fast.

Oh my God! It's the crisis heading for the real economy!

~ Smoke on the water, and fire in the sky ~

Honestly no idea, seen unexplained smoke before, chased it down with the free camera and it turned out to be a ship run ashore, or ships run into one another, or a plane that flew into a mountain but...

Ive never seen that much , that dense smoke.

If you mean those little black puffballs which show up on the surface of the water, yeah I've seen them in vanilla. The environmental mods apparently have done something to keep them from popping up tho. Usually it is when enemy units are nearby but don't seem to have any causal connection to said units.

Ive seen those puffy thingys, They pop up out of nowhere (usualy when smoke is around) and dissapear as quickly as they appear. So far Ive only had 1 in PE4.
