       Tactics: DD forces CR to stop in DD's smoke
       By: wows Date: September 28, 2022, 12:08 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       This maneuver means that a DD starts smoke and swims in front of
       a moving cruiser which stops the cruiser to move forwards and
       the CR stays in smoke and makes lot of damage while the DD spots
       for him.
       One example below. In the below screenshots the DD had
       torpedo-aiming active which makes the pictures difficult to
       understand. But we can colelct next time better examples where
       torpedo aiming is not activated.
       1. DD swims towards CR. The smoke has been started already but
       sometimes you start only when it when you hit the alley CR ship.

       2. Alley CR stops and looses speed because your DD is an
       obstacle.

       3. Alley CR is in the smoke and stopped.

       4. Alley CR makes lot of damage to the enemy ships while in
       smoke.

       Chasing cruisers to set them smoke fails 60% of times because
       once you arrive in front to a cruiser they usually die
       immediately. Wows community is used to that Dds set smoke for
       itself and not for others.
       If you ahead of a cruiser setting smoke succeeds 60% of times,
       but chasing cruisers mostly fails.

       For some cruisers the smoke is almost useless, so if possible
       then choose cruisers that benefit from it more.
       I still do from time to time it, but not so often. In Randoms
       yolo minded cruisers need the method most. If you just set smoke
       in front of them they don't stop and swim out of it and die.
       The idea is based on lowering quickly the ship speed by putting
       an obstacle in front of it. The same idea is to ram a rock while
       you set smoke. The rock will stop your DD instantly and you can
       start to move backwards, and you set the maximum length of
       useful smoke.
