Just seems to me that it's a bit much. Not sure what can be done about it. Smoke and specifically smoke dischargers on AFV's worked fine in the original SP1 as they do in SP:WW2. That's because no OPFORCE has a means to "see thru the smoke" hence it is a defensive tactic.
But when SP2 came around, and this has carried on to SP:MBT, you get units that have a vision rating of 40 or above (TTS), then for those units smoke simply does not exist, regardless of source or proximity etc. Hence....it's an exploit as I would define it.

Basically, you have to move in bounds from covered position to another...and never hit the end turn button unless you're sure your tanks are not exposed to enemy LOS. Try to force them to pop smoke and be patient until their smoke ammo runs out, or you have a cldar shot
at them (preferably flank/rear one). Works very well vs. the AI but I also won a couple of PBEMs that way (me as WarPact vs. 80s high tier NATO)
