RE: Manual discharge of smoke discharger rounds - Finji - 10-14-2008 As far as I know, in some situation during enemy turn (than a tank of yours is being shot at) tank commander can release an SD by himself. Turning it off can save smoke rounds for future use.

I forget which. Maybe Walrus. Weasel Wrote:Actually I didn't know you could turn them off, but not sure why you would want too. Common scenario: You park your tank in rough terrain, no movement penalty, awaiting its prey. Said prey pops up at high speed. Your tank opfires and misses at ~40% hit chance. Opponent returns fire at ~5% hit chance ... ... your tank pops smoke rather than return fire at ~60% hit chance ... It's often best to turn off dischargers till you need them. -- 30 -- RE: Manual discharge of smoke discharger rounds - Walrus - 10-14-2008 hahahaha...good one Gene I have been known to use that quote before :smoke: You are right on the money re. why you would want to turn off the SD on occasions. It sure can screw up a good ambush / overwatch. Cheers |
