Well … I don’t think I should have too many illusions about smoke.It looks like someone said to me, "Throw away those useless smoke grenades! You need these! "
The time is shorter, the smoke is thinner, but it has a larger smoke range and terrible lethality. Why not?
I use smoke, it gives tactical advantage and can really help you get to some places or against tanks to help you get closer with AT weapon or Grenade. Or i use tanks smoke shells to cover point we try to take.
I used to spam smoke artillery, it was very useful. Then they nerfed the timer and instead of 1 smoke barrage every 30 seconds, it takes 2 minutes…
I’ve completely removed radiomen from my team.
I do occasionally use mortars, thought. After shelling a cap with HE before a charge, since I also have smoke rounds… I shoot them too. Helps a little bit.
Tank smoke shells are a MUST, thought. I use them all the time to support my team’s advance, when I drive a tank, that is.
They also narrowed the range of smoke a lot, which is really terrible.
I never did.
My first guy usually have a smoke grenade.
Covers my advance pretty effective.
Always a lot of smoke frags in my flametrooper squads as well.
I don’t have smoke but I have WP which I can use as smoke if I need it.
Yes. I try to have at least two soldiers with smoke grenades in the company.
Will admit, i don’t have many, on toons, thought about, if i just spam smoke, will people thinks its WP, and keep away, anyway?
but, after a match today, i think i may try and carry at least one in each squad, or something, may of been useful.
But due to fact, i prefer to have ability to blow up a tank, i think ,is more valued, when only carrying one gren slot, with no back pack.
I use smoke artillery to assault the first bunker on D-day, and then basically nowhere else.
It hasn´t gotten that much better since I bitched about it. We don´t need more ways to use smoke but just better smoke grenades. We don´t need the smoke barrage, smoke mortar rounds and smoke shells, those are just features that are rarely put to use.
I have bitched about it, of course, it is useless. It seems that we need more people to complain.
Typical gaijin nerf, just multiply some numbers and call it a day.
-Wait we had smoke artillery in game? Would be nice if RADIO SQUAD COULD USE IT on separate cooldown.
-Nah dude, i already spent 5 minutes balancing game, can’t take another 5 min from making premium squads
Absolutely but smoke use is all about where and how you use it. Smoke artillery forces the enemy to engage on your terms but timing and location are key. WP should be removed from this game or reduce the area covered, takes no skill to use and toxic to your own team.
Smoke needs buff.
It should cover bigger area
I always used smoke in my Elite deck, was a game changer. But as I have spent the last few months going through squads I haven’t leveled, I’ve had no radio men.
@Conscript_Joe What??? they nerfed smoke cooldown too? feeeeeerrrrrk I haven’t used it for too long…
Mortar smoke seems crappy. would like buff.
I drop mortar smoke after using up the first lot of HE - as much jsut to get rid of it as in any hope of helping!
And very occasionally use tank smoke - but not often
haha I fire the smoke rounds on the chance I get a direct hit lolol
have got a few kills with smoke rounds…
They should have kept the mortars from switching shells automatically. I can always see my teammates firing smoke bombs at the enemy, haha.Of course, I often forget this.
