Smoke pots for shermans
Posts: 2358
What if shermans had the same smoke pots as the Panzer Tactician gives for OST. It would be really useful to them since they do rely on fast maneuvers rather than better positioning as the P4.
I could even think of swapping those skills, in order to keep some assimetry. They could help covering OST infantry since they are more fragile since midgame and forth. I would like extra smoke options as Osteer.
This give USF a much needed buff to overcome midgame, maybe?
What do you guys think?

One one hand: smoke pots. Press a button, and your tank is immediately smoked. No casting time, no targeting. As a result, you also immediately reset enemy weapon's aim times, and even if they attack ground ASAP, you have a good chance of escape. The entire impetuous on working around the ability is on your opponent. Bad design.
Smoke Canister on the other hand, both have a cast time and are targeted. This ensures that some degree of fore-planning is required to use them effectively. Not only that, but the ability itself can be used in many ways. You can use it defensively when retreating to cover your escape. You can use it to cover another friendly tank in trouble. You can smoke enemy sight-lines before a push. You can use it to support infantry. There are almost limitless possibilities!
In terms of this poll, I disagree with the options. I say give Smoke canisters instead of smoke pots to all armor, and delete smoke pots entirely except for light vehicles (Puma, AEC, M20, etc.).

If anything, change Panzer tactician to be USF or UKF tank smoke, not the other way around.
