Bulletpoint Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) Just had a battle where my tank destroyer fired on a Panther, the shot bounced off, then artillery fell and my unit's LOS was cut off by the smoke and dust. The crew stopped aiming and went to "spotting". Then the Panther fired through the smoke and killed them all.This happened two times in a row, so I'm wondering if Panthers have some kind of infrared vision or if smoke/dust doesn't really block LOS but gives a random spotting penalty so you might lose LOF or not depending on chance?In the same game, enemy infantry opened fire on my unbuttoned tank destroyer through several puffs of heavy arty dust, and the tank destroyer returned fire immediately. So I'm starting to think dust from artillery simply doesn't work to block LOS, or at best it's very weak effect. How should I interpret it?

A Canadian Cat Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Yes, it blocks LOS. Yes it has a significant effect. No, it is not a perfect wall.An actual smoke screen is much more in penetrable but even it can have gaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
