So any ideas about the very early Polish tankettes being laden with smoke dischargers? They are at least in the 7TP's case. The OOB's show nothing of the sort, and neither does the in-game right-clicking of the unit.

In case you don't understand what I'm saying, I wouldn't expect that the AI would take three separate smoke rounds and fire them in a V pattern around the front of the AFV. No, it appears they come out of thin air, just as if they were using smoke dischargers (not fired from the gun). As I said earlier, I think I even seen one that only had only MG's do it too.

I don't think any of the '39 Gerry tanks have them, but that is the mistake of trusting the OOB's to tell you the real deal. Perhaps if I hit the smoke discharging key, whatever that one is (yes, I can easily find out, I just don't use them myself) it will go off for any vehicle that doesn't have them? Since I don't use them, or almost never do, their overuse in my case doesn't bother me, it's the enemy AI using them like they're going out of style when they shouldn't even be available, that is bothering me.

As Andy noted this topic should NEVER have been included in this thread. However, now it is and I have no way to move it without moving everything. The issue will be dealt with. The "additions" came from an outside contributor and I missed that they had been added when I added them to the OOB. Had I noticed they would have been removed. There are only 5 pre 1940 Polish tanks with smoke dischargers.

here's the list

NationID NationName name Unitclass slot yearavailable smokedischargers

2 Poland 9TP 13 466 39 2
2 Poland 10TP 30 557 38 1
2 Poland 14TP 30 558 39 1



When I get time, I'll fix them and issue a correction. For now, live with it. It's a very minor issue. They are NOT "laden" with them.
