Smoke dischargers

[RubberNeck]

What triggers a vehicle to pop smoke? If this is covered somewhere in the manual, forgive me as I was not able to find it. Sometimes a non-penetrating hit will cause defensive smoke, other times a miss will. Is it somewhat random or does it depend on morale and suppression factors? My unscientific research would indicate that a unit will only pop smoke when fired upon by a gun that has a good potential for a kill, but then again this is not always the case.

I haven't played the game in a while, but I believe if you pull the unit up in the description screen (where it shows armanent and such) that there is a box to check to turn it off and on.

it depends on whether the shot is deemed threatening, and on experience, supression, and if the shooter was hidden and/or close too.

If you dont like your troops self-screening then you can turn this off by clicking the SD item in the unit info screen, as described in the GG.
