I have initiated this topic more than once. Our smoke grenade is completely insufficient to cover me and my AI. Additionally, the smoke cannon only works when it arrives in time, so it should not be affected by other shelling.
Strengthening them is urgently needed by infantry to attack open areas. Currently, only the smoke shells of tanks are effective enough, but waiting for them is unrealistic.

Only usable smoke in the game are of tanks. Shame that nades and smoke arty are never used because they cover too little or share same cd as real explosive arty.

the artillery it’s also non used because someone in company was brilliant to make it share cd with the other attacks, actually it should do only with ammo box, so rockets, normal artillery and bombers go to one slot and ammo and smoke should go to other

It’s one of countless examples of DF/Gajin devs not playing their game or trying to improve it from QOL player experience angle.

Also, give point to the person who set the smoke.
Like how if someone fight behind the sandbag you get the point,
same mechanic can be applied to smoke.

yeah the only smoke worth a damn is that from tanks, but its more advantageous for the tank to lay down the hate and there is no reward for smoking friendlies advances.
Yes, smokes need a big buff.
Lately i had a match where I tried to use them to cover my assault. I don’t think it covered more than 2 ground level windows.

They used to work so much better but got nerfed.
My engineers all carry large grenade pouches and 3 smoke grenades.
When assaulting an objective, I throw all 3 of them in a zigzag pattern, and then run from cloud to cloud to the objective.
That works for me but not very well for the bots and teammates following me.

Indeed. Offensive arty should have the same cooldown as now and support arty should have 2 times faster cooldown and be separated.

I know other games have issues with too much smoke spam making the game laggy, maybe the devs are just a bit overly cautious?
I don’t think so, because there is already a lot of smoke produced by the explosion, and the current situation is okay.And developers are very aware of how difficult it is to attack open terrain, as can be seen from the way they modify the map.The problem is that not many people use smoke, it has been forgotten by everyone.
would be better if smoke arty shares cooldown with supply drop.
