Add the smoke bombardment function to other campaigns, and allow radio soldiers placed outside the radio squad to call it

@ErikaKalkbrenner

sure, you can smoke your opponent. but you ain’t gonna have that much firepower outside a few BAs perhaps semi auto rifles, and that is all.

Well, smoke is supposed to motivate your teammates to move forward because they got nice little cover.
However, from my observations so far… players were always absolute monkeys who kept camping in the back despite smoke creating a comfortable and relatively safe way to cap. (To be fair, some of them get it and move forward after you tell them to do so… )
That really isn´t worth the hassle of making your personal performance objectively worse by wasting your precious slot on the radio squad.

[Eloros]

For that reason I know I will be abandoning radio squad as soon as I finish leveling it up. Smoke is nice utility that I´m going to miss in few situations, but using radio squad is: 1. ungrateful and unappreciated, and 2. not worth it even with their exclusive smoke and shorter cooldown.

( just like any normal fps out there )

I dont think ‘any normal fps’ let me use smoke artillery everytime i spawn with all ‘soldiers’ (normal fps dont have squads but invidual soldiers so comparing is kinda strange)

@ErikaKalkbrenner

when i can simply use the normal artillery and cause a similar effect while gaining kills ( and weaken the defenders )

Looks like you are only conserded YOUR kills, your STATS’ and miss whole tactical aspect of smoke.
Regular arty rarely allow whole opposing team to make mass assault in point without getting killed by people outside your he arty

Atleast guy who calls moke cant bring several ppsh’s in cap. But others surely will.

@ErikaKalkbrenner

5 men against a squad of 7 with different and more squad class available in that squad

Dosnt matter. 5 man is enough to cap point. Also own tesm should also be there. You dont need win war alone, support exist for reason

mh. let me think.

day of infamy:

have smokes.

hell let lose:

has smokes as well.

Red Orchestra 2:

yes.

BFV:

Yes. ( for how shit it was, had the artillery smokes that worked and almost everyone can have asked about those )

Polyforce:
Yes ( lol… )

( and the list could go one for quite a bit. but for sake of my time. i’ll end it here )

perhaps you live in a strange world not knowing your surrounding

@24629012

perhaps you have mistaken for someone else, but i couldn’t care less of kills.

objectively speaking, i can efficently capture the point while using the frag artillery and with a much powerfull and fully equipped squad i can simply take the point much easier and kill all of the opponents.

i don’t know about you how much effective can you be by throwing a smoke blinding your self with just 5 soldiers while the defenders are buzzing around on the capture point not allowing you to cap it in the first place.

yes, smokes are important, but then why bother if they are going to be limited to one squad?
i’ll tell you that much, no one will.

@24629012

Regular arty rarely allow whole opposing team to make mass assault in point without getting killed by people outside your he arty

which could turn a bit pointless if the enemy are already waiting for you on the point.

@24629012

i guess that could be truee.

but as i’m lately playing germany, i can’t relay very much on the teammates. perhaps a different view.

but still, you can’t always relay on teammates.

@24629012

what i mean by that is, when you are alone, 7 mens make a huge difference compared to 5.

and even just one guy with the kp or thmpson or whatever can wipe them all out unlike 7 that would require two mags.

( well it depends from many factors actually. but the point of matter is, not everyone will use smokes ( and i might be the first one ) when it’s locked for one squad. take as example the engy, you don’t really need the second squad because you can just do fine without it. as the default engy has it’s default tools that can get the job done. it has all you need. the radio man should also have all what they need once it has been researched through upgrade. for later on be used by others artillery mans. just like the engy type one. nothing new, always have been liked that, don’t see why it should change now. )

Yes i live in pretty strange world indeed…

Not even single game i have played for that list allow me call smoke arty when i spawn, lets say lmg soldier.

Like i said earlier:

@24629012

Direct comparison isnt even hard or impossible, it might even be stupid cause games uses totally different core mechanics.

And like you said yourself:

@ErikaKalkbrenner

is it, that hard for you?

@ErikaKalkbrenner

which could turn a bit pointless if the enemy are already waiting for you on the point.

And when enemy isnt waiting attack? Oh axis at berlin, they just try spawn rape and loses point when single person builds rally.

Also it isnt hard to predict if or when enemy is going to attack when that regular arty hits cap zone.

With smoke people can close cap zone without being shot by semiautos and other ‘long range’ weapons

Also i dont think assault and lmg squads really need any more power. We already see/use enough those
