automatic C // comments

Vim automatically continues comments to the next line.  I think this is coming from c.vim.  When using // comments, it'll automatically create the second line as:

some-code // my comment
                     // <ready to add next comment>

I found this article:

https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Disable_automatic_comment_insertion

While it explains what adding f:// back in does, my testing doesn't seem to support my understanding and the article doesn't explain other possible options besides 'f'.  What it does seem to do is disable all auto // comments.

I _think_ what I'd like is if a line begins (other than whitespace) with a  // comment, then continue creating comments on the subsequent lines, but if a comment is preceded by code, do not auto-indent with // on the next line.

Is that possible?  Am I making sense outside my own head?
