Default Strange Goings On

In scenario 397 Polish 7TP tanks pop smoke in three adjacent hexes in the direction from which they were fired upon. This happens regardless of whether the player or the AI is controlling the tanks.

I couldn't see anything in the unit information which would explain this behavior or would allow it to be turned off.

Does anyone know what's going on?

If you don't want your tanks to fire smoke dischargers in reaction to enemy fire, then simply turn them off.

See the Game Guide -> Unit Info Screen -> box titled Smoke Ammo, sentence beginning "If Smoke Dischargers are fitted ..."

HAVE YOU EVEN BOTHERED TO READ THE GAME GUIDE ?

Quote:
HOT KEYS--D Fire unit's smoke dischargers, if fitted and ammo left.
Quote:
Smoke Ammo Smoke ammo if available for the primary weapon, grenades for infantry types. If smoke dischargers are fitted, SD:NN is shown, with NN being the number of salvoes of smoke. If SD are fitted, pressing the green SD makes it red and vice versa. This allows you to instruct your vehicle not to fire its SD in reaction to incoming enemy fires, if you so desire!

Unit information

Smoke Discharger If fitted, this is noted here, the number of salvos is listed after the smoke main gun ammo in the in-game info display in the form SD:N. SD can also represent the British 2 inch or US 60mm smoke mortars

......If your APC has smoke dischargers, consider using these before dismounting.

If "tanks pop smoke in three adjacent hexes in the direction from which they were fired upon" it is firing it's smoke discharger's. It's "SP101" and I can say with utmost certainty that we have NEVER been questioned about that in the 15 years we've been doing this.

SERIOUSLY ??? You really didn't know what was going on when that happened ? I *almost* find that impossible to belive
