Smoke Shells
« on: 14-11-2011, 23:11:17 »
I didn't find anything using the search feature so here's my question.  Why don't I see smoke when I fire smoke shells from my tank?  I know it's a noob question but I never see smoke from my smoke shells.

Have you tried firing a smoke round directly in front of your tank?
Other than that, can you see the smoke coming from a smoke grenade as infantry?
What graphic card are you using?

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT.  I see smoke just fine when I toss a smoke grenade, I just don't see it when I fire a smoke round from a tank.

most German tanks use a smoke dispenser form the engine deck or smoke launchers mounted on the turret.

while mostly American and British tanks fire actuals smoke rounds.

maybe you were in the "wrong" tank ?

OK, I think I figured it out, call me a noob.  I was using the scroll wheel on my mouse which evidently does not change the type of round fired.  Once I used the appropriate number button all was well.

Not a problem.  I've tked once or twice when I thought I had a smoke shell selected, fired, and it was actually HE ;)
