evilman222 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Does anyone know if there was anything unique about how the Soviets would have used smoke in this time period? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domfluff Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Not really much that's conceptually different. The Soviet method characterised smoke into three types of mission - blinding, camouflaging, and decoy. The first is used on the enemy to shape the battlefield (you see a good example of this in the first Tutorial missions, as you block out the wings, limit the battle to the centre and create your own local superiority there. The second is used on yourself to gain freedom of movement, concealing your own movements and shaping the terrain to suit. The last is used to deceive the enemy to the main point of attack - in CM that's limited to a human opponent, but can firmly be useful in that role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
