The chimney of the destroyer is the only method to distingui

I have made a piece of diagram according to different speeds of the destroyer. Can find out from the picture the cigarette of different length can reflect different speeds that the destroyer goes. This is it judge to eye goal speed have heavy help very to look at.

Nice! But will that be true for any ship type?

How about windspeed? Does it affect the shape in the game?

If I remember right, wind speed or direction will have no effect on smoke.

This is a judgement method in common cases.

Though I do agree that this is a judgement call, it is definately better than flat-out guessing.

A good observation W_clear,

As for the wind-speed, I used to think that it effected the smoke but I noticed some ships travelling in opposite directions in a strong wind where smoke was leaning to the stern on both ships, that answered my question.
