How does smoke work?
Posts: 21
sorry for this basic question but I couldn't find anything relevant on the subject of smoke and how does it work. Does it work like an obstacle blocking/worsening the vision of enemy units (i.e. I can hide behind it) or does it make my units harder to hit only when they are within some 'smoked area'?

Remember you may still use attack ground function on units to hit them while in smoke - e.g. a tank on a flak half track which uses its smoke.

Iirc smoke will block line of sight, and any unit firing into or through the smoke will incur an accuracy penalty. This is so even if there's a 2nd spotter unit in the smoke it will still serve its purpose of keeping your units protected and not suppressed.
If I understand you right, it doesn't work this way, exactly. Even if you have a spotter in or outside the smoke, it pretty much acts like a shot blocker, so units with small arms will run around stupidly trying to reach the target. This lasts only during thick smoke though. I think we likely will need a more advanced research though, to determine what's actually happening. The thick smoke behavior is easy to understand just from playing. The problem is when you look in the stats and find there is smoke cover. It kind of doesn't make sense that there is a smoke cover since smoke is acting a lot like a shot blocker(just you can attack ground through it). It may be possible that when it thins, the smoke cover takes effect at that time. The smoke cover could be active the whole time, but while the smoke is thick it's useless, because no targeting is possible. In coh1 it didn't act like this, you could still target in the smoke, just the smoke cover turned accuracy and suppression to almost nothing.

So Comrades you have smoke but is not sure if fascist dogs still can see you? Да this can be hard problem. But there is quick solution to problem. But it requires very careful analysis so be careful when consuming Vodka before battle.
Is true, Peoples Commissar Voroshilovs ordered minimum 100 grams of Vodka per day, but do not consume all before battle.
Now before you throw smoke is fascist shooting at you? If Njet, why throw smoke suka? Are you sabotaging war effort by wasting the resources the Soviet peopled have slaved to get you? Stupid suka should learn how people and comrade Stalin toil for victory!
So enemy is shooting when you throw smoke. This is good as they waste their bullets shooting. Now when smoke is hit do they continue shoot or do they look like they just lost potato? If they are still shooting you are not in smoke Comrade! Fire at the Germans you too! Or run in smoke because ordered to move back two steps. BUT ONLY IF ORDERED Comrade! Not one step back without order!
They do not shoot? Good you are in smoke? Why are you in smoke? You cannot shoot if in smoke, get out of smoke and kill more Fascists.
If fascists have tank look if turret is moving, this means he still can see you and fire. Destroy tank with fierce rage and love for Comrade Stalin and Soviet Motherland.
Вы понимаю? Good now go throw much smoke and destroy fascist invaders!

men and tanks who were killing each other moments before, will completely forget where the enemy is and lay down their arms, even at point blank ranges

Remembering their general direction doesn´t really help in aiming at something you can´t see.
