Hello, I had a general gameplay question, which as everyone can see is in the title. Does anyone actually use the smoke-bombs when playing?
That is, setting the shell type in your artillery or mortars to "smoke" and then firing them, instead of using only ballistic shells. If so: how do you use them? This is the one thing in the tutorials it never really explains, and no custom map I've ever seen explains how to use smoke bombs effectively. Do you drop them on the enemy directly? Where you plan to move? What is the point? Are they really effective? I look forward to hearing replies.  |

In vanilla they are entirely useless. In MK however its a different story  |

detect enemy positions. advance your unit to a certain location, next to the enemy positions, out their fire range. bombard in front of the enemy positions with the smoke shells, in the direction-allignment of the units in stand by. advance your units, infantries down. it's usefull for the advanced units to be much few possile detected by the enemies, and so avoid the enemy fire, obviously it needs consider the position and the consequent allignment of the enemy units, anyway learn to use the smoke, excellent strategy of penetration which reduce the costs ... to be the boss ...  |

I know not what course others may take. As for me, give me liberty or give me death.

I use the smokeshells but as mentioned by @stanenberg there are quite useless in BK vanilla. The smoke just disappears to fast to be of any use. I remember I made a patch that makes the smoke last longer in BK vanilla. vonosten did the colours of the smoke. I think the patch can be found on VO's Skydrive. |
