Large Smoke screen.

[R-COM]Glimmerman · 01-12-2009, 11:11 AM

When i was looking at some footage of the Israeli Cast Lead Operation i got inspired to post this topic.
Is it possible and / or desirable to have a Artillery / Aircraft deliverd Smoke screen like a Willie Pete (White Phosphores) arty round or bomb?

As it could be requested in the same way you would request a area attack, it would cover a certain area in smoke so units could retreat from or attack a certain position without the enemy seeing it.

Very cool idea, but I think it'll cause some serious lag issues for people that don't have a good enough pc.

Still, would love to see it that on the field.

FINALLY SOMETHING TO DO!

There's smoke and other effects all over the place anyway, I can't imagine smoke is a stressful on PCs as alot of other effects anyway.

Yeah if it can be called in like 5 rounds in a row before reloading so the requesting player can set a line on the map that needs to be smoked that would be good for tactics i believe.

There's a small difference between popping some smoke grenades and having artillery-delivered smoke cover an entire city block

Don't worry about people with bad PCs. They need to upgrade and you need to give them a reason to do it. I always wanted a smokescreen be delivered via a smoke generator or munitions.

The JDAM puts up a load of dirt when it explodes and a WP round could have the same impact only smaller and not so high. so you can fire more.
