Thermal Imaging and Smoke Dischargers

[lansoar]

Just to throw emphasis on this. I'm now playing the NATO companion to the same battle. Not only did I pop smoke offensively to give my M1's and M3's a free for all fire-fest, but after the smoke from the dischargers cleared.....I took advantage of several adjacent INF units dug in by my AFV's to pop smoke in from of the AFV's, again providing them with a shield from any return fire.

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.
