Smoke vs buildings

I guess those wonderful forests of yours can be highly inflammable.

The wooden buildings (and brick/concrete buildings opened up by HE) in Chechnya were probably vulnerable to all forms of incendiaries.

I still can't remember where I read about the smoke shells. It was a long time ago - and it stuck in my mind at the time.

Yep, during any sort of warm and dry period in summer time there is a danger of forest fires. However, it is nothing compared to the troubles they have in the Mediterranean or in California.

Also in April-May the dry tall grass can catch a fire, on those areas where it can be found. Again, this is a hazard that exists in a lot of areas around the world, whenever the grass is dry and the conditions are sufficient.

Not sure if there is a terrain type in the game to present inflammable tall dry grass - I cannot recall having seen one.

Is any terrain in the game inflammable?(even water?)

I'm pretty sure that every terrain in the game is flammable, yes even water.

Inflammable = something that catches fire easily.

About any terrain piece in the game can be set alight with flame weapons. However, other weapons usually seem to cause fires only in specific terrain types (eg. forest, buildings).
