Re: Artillery smoke question
 

Wow, how WinSP source can be that large? That's like some operating system source. How long SP has been in development, 15 years?

There must be lots of comments http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

The count was of lines of CODE, not comments. This is not a simple game

Keep it for all. I qualified on 81mm mortar. Firing smoke was one of the mortar platoon's tasks.

Re: Artillery smoke question
 

NOBODY is suggesting 81mm Mortars shouldn't be able to fire smoke.

Re: Artillery smoke question
 

When artillery fires a smoke round, how many rounds of gameplay does it remain for? Ie. If I create a barrage of smoke as part of my openning turn, does that smoke last for the entire game or a limited time?

Re: Artillery smoke question
 

If I'm not wrong it depends on the weather condition etc. but definetly not for the whole game... more or less 1-3 rounds.

Re: Artillery smoke question
 

Only a limited time, maybe 2-5 turns, depending on caliber of the shell, to my recollection.

Thanks!

Re: Artillery smoke question
 

How about guns larger than 105mm and hoitzers 155mm and less can fire smoke?

All but the biggest of mortars (81mm and up) should be able to fire smoke.
