hmmwv Smoke Generator

[A-10Warthog]

im going to make a long story short. after seeing how necessary smoke is in PR, why not add a HMMWV with the smoke generator in the bed?



basically is uses 2 jets of white, and black smoke to make a thick grey smoke. and it would be good for tanker squads on the retreat, or even a infantry squad. make the smoke last a few minutes to give time for them to retreat etc. i think it would be good. and its fairly easy to model, if we can borrow the current support truck model.


discuss.

Damn, that would be good to have.

Allot of modeling for an asset with such a small job as to only lay down smoke. Besides most tanks can inject diesel into there engines and create a smoke scree although its not in game atm.

#1: Do they really use these much in combat?

#2: I forsee people stealing this and using it to run people over.

#3: It seems like a waste of boots on the ground to drive this thing.

It IS in the game, driver has a right click which deploys smoke and gunner has smoke as well.

As for the suggestion, it is not necessary and I don't feel this is commonly used thing. Prove me wrong by posting proof of it's extensive use.

Technically it's not, but the current smoke has a very similar effect.

Anyway, as for the HMMWV smoke, it just seems like a lot of work for a vehicle that might not even be used much and creates the same effect as some dudes with smoke grenades.

A technicality Colonelcool, really? Haha you are correct and I am mistaken. What I meant is the same effect is created by deploying the smoke canisters. And yes, I still feel that although it would be fun to make smoke trails across the vast desert of Kashan, it still is, in my opinion, a waste of time and effort which could be dedicated to something more useful, such as fastropes .

Cool asset. Won't be used properly or effectively. It will be seen as a troop transport.

I am not talking about the smoke grenades tanks usaully have a second smoke screen type by injecting fuel into the exhaust and it makes a cloud behind the tank as you drive in the same fashion the humvee in ops post would see video.

I could be wrong but I have never seen this in game.
