Why ? Do you think everyone on this list is under 25 ?
No. Not at all.
I think so just because everybody is talking about modern LRF, though the question is about 80s-90s.

Bispectral smoke or burning oil will block even the thermals sights. Standard visual smoke or sandstorms can be penetrated by thermals to some extent.

My link on this subject is about laser , not about TI. I'm shore that "visual smoke or sandstorms can be penetrated by thermals to some extent", but not by lasers.

It is unclear what is being talked about in the above passage "Some" might mean not all but only certain types. In the CCTT document the talk is about reducing/degrading, not blocking.
The talk is about appropriate degrading - at some moment smoke can be able to block the laser.

The issue is that this would be probably a rather onerous feature to implement, if possible at all, so the case for it would have to be rather strong.
60% accuracy reducing for tank, having smoke hex on it's LOS is "a rather onerous feature to implement, if possible at all"? Taking into consideration the changes, made in 3.0 patch, I wouldn't say so.
