i've got a few questions about smoke in SB
1) is smoke from arty (HE or smoke) effective enough against LRF? if yes, then you could drop it just in front of enemy's tanks, preventing him from using the LRF. it would make life hard for your LRF too, but you could aim just in front of the incoming arty to get an estimate of the range.
from my experience it doesn't block the LRF that much, but what if you use smoke grenades too? can enemy's LRF go through arty and smoke from grenades?
2) to me it seems that infantry has a hard time seeing or shooting through smoke. would it be usefull to drop a long line of arty along a treeline if you need to go with your tanks near it?
3) is the smoke generator usefull in MP? for example, in an assault through open ground, would it prevent the LRF to work on the tanks further back in the assaulting group?
