Thermal Imaging and Smoke Dischargers

[zovs66]

Well in the first scenario you mentioned that is completely valid tactic.

On the M1A1 those smoke discharges were full of Willis peat as I recall and we had to be buttoned up to fire them.

One tactic we used in the first Gulf War was we knew the T-55s max range was 1200 meters so we parked at 1800 meters and smoked em. We adjusted to 240-3000 meters for the T-72s.

So folks adjust tactics on what they know if they are trained properly.

What we see with the current situation in Ukraine is not well trained Russia s getting massacred and they have resulted to human wave tactics. But I digress.
