the developers have gone to great lengths to make navel action as real as possible. i have a complaint about the amount of cannon smoke,this is a game but i am unaware that masts can be replaced at sea, if they can be allowed in the game why can the density of cannon smoke not be reduced to a level that allows the gunners visual of ranging shots, this is a very frustraiting feature of a very enjoyable game. thank you for your time.
