Manual discharge of smoke discharger rounds

[seabolt]

'A good commander knows how to use artillery, but a brilliant commander knows how to use smoke.'

This is my rough recollection of a quote. Wish I knew who to attribute it to.

Cheech. Or Chong. I forget which. Maybe Walrus.

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.
