What is the degrading effect of smoke barrages in the spotting/targetting/movement capabilities of units with/without thermals?
Now that NATO AFVs face T-80 with thermals, smoke seems less important as a defensive cloak than in the previous FPG.

Thermals can see through the smoke so NATO units with them are not hampered in any real way. All other units without of course end up with an additional visual hindrance hit. They can see into a smoked hex with some difficulty but not thru it usually.
