Am looking forward to this release but hope someone will answer this question.

When using direct fire smoke rounds from tanks are the smoke rounds dispersed fairly well allowing for an effective smoke screen or are they concentrated at the target area (as in CMBB)resulting in minimal smoke coverage?

Also, does smoke disperse with wind conditions or is it stagnant until the smoke time limit is up?

I never liked how CMBB,CMAK failed at effective direct fire smoke use. Thanks

They are the same as the arty fired rounds. Size dependent. IOW the larger the gun, the larger the smoke. We don't have wind effects.

Very few tanks in PCO have smoke rounds. You can add them if you like but it is not historical for some.

Here I area fired smoke from the Jags.

After I end the playback it starts to spread.

The next phase it gets larger and continues until it disappears in a few phases. It does block LOS.

You can area fire into it but not through it.

Because someone will ask...

By reaction 3 it reached its maximum.

At the start of orders 5 it was gone.

Thanks for answering and showing a great example.  Can't wait to buy this game

If they could somehow get destructable buildings into this, I think that I would be in heaven. I can't say it enough, great job guys.
