Spotter tommies should be able to call down smoke barrage

Infantry Sections with the pyrotechnic upgrade should be able to call down a smoke barrage from their 25 pdr.

Right now they lack any smoke capability before getting the cromwell/comet and it's hurting their early and mid game option.

The smoke barrage should share a cooldown with the normal barrage.

But it shouldn't be expensive though seeing as how it's their only possible smoke capability early on.

i'd prefer if it did simply because i could use it to spook people.

+ 9 , even if it would be kind of silly that the regular artillery has terrible scatter but the smoke would (presumably) have cruise missile like accuracy.

Keep in mind that Mortar Emplacements get Smoke at Vet 1 too and that its similar in size to the the German Smoke Pots ability. Of course you're also limited to the Emplacements range...

Would be so useful vs sniper abuse! Great idea!

Everything beats relying on mortar pit vet1 for smoke.

have been lurking this page for ages, but this thread made me register (Hi all, while we are at it :D )

I had a similar idea in mind but instead of a second ability I thought about merging those:

the smoke canister that the tommy is throwing when calling for the arty is improved itself to fulfill the smoke role, maybe for increased muni cost. Smoke effect similar to riflemen one but with red color, followed by the normal arty barrage.

+12 Now we can actually use the artillery smoke package that may do something other than waste shells that will never hit.

They also need a longer throw range for the arty target though. Regular and smoke, currently they have to run up almost nose to nose to throw the stupid target flare. It makes the cost 45muni and 70MP just from all the loses on approach to the target. :/

Anything to choose pyrotechnics supplies over medkits for at least one squad.
