I think they should reduce the opacity of the trails. Make the effect more subtle, less solid looking.

I believe the intent is to keep the fleet from going 'spook' and avoiding a fight. The idea is to fight... right?  :salute

Good idea. The trails look like bug plasma from Starship Troopers.   :rolleyes:

Every thing HTC has done in the last patch is to promote furballing.....can't even somewhat sneak up on anything anymore.

Might as well put up a big bright arrow over the CV! :furious

I like it.  For spotting shells and such.  It reminds me of Missle Command a bit...

I doubt HTC would purposely do something that's unrealistic.

So bushes did flip Tigers in the war...?   ;)

I watched frigates and cruisers fire live and training rounds from 5" guns and watched the Wisconsin do a broadside once and never saw any trails, other than the muzzle smoke of course. Remember stories from grunts calling in 16" fire that you could hear the whistle before impact, then the ground heave as the round landed but never any contrail stories.

Battle of the Coral Sea and Midway are just two of many examples.
