So I noticed that Bolt-action and Semi-Auto guns do have smoke after firing (Tho neither comparable to the IRL counterparts nor we need them to have real amount of smoke like the IRL ones in game )
And I thought it would look great if we got smoke for these kind of weapons as well
But SMGs and LMGs don’t even emit a little bit of smoke
Take MP40 and MG34 as an example
Here are the IRL ones firing

But here comes a problem - the smoke will block the view
so we can implement it in two ways
-
Smoke to act as a nerf to quick firing gun
→ Smoke is smoke, there won’t be any options to disable it -
Smoke as a graphric setting
→ So people can choose the amount of smoke that want via a slider in the setting, to let people choose a balance between graphic and gameplay.
