Default Re: Smoke candles

And this rack of smoke bombs is not a smoke discharger in SP game terms. S/D project bombs forward, immediately hiding the screened vehicle by breaking LOS.

It's more like a smoke candle/pot or diesel-injection smoke system, and those are not modelled in the game (WW2 or MBT) as not worth the coding for the negligible usefulness. As someone pointed out, you would have to reverse into or behind the smoke to screen yourself even if you had the MP left to do so, or be in retreat mode.

The only S/D that I would be interested in hearing about for the Nazis would be the projector type as used in the game. Those seem to be rare until 43 or so from the look of things.

Cheers
Andy
