Doesn't prevent: Enemies getting closer, enemies shooting at you, people bombing the shit out of you, people figuring out exactly where you are... like... seriously, there are a lot of kills I got because someone smoked for any reason showing me where they are. Only smoke when you can move, otherwise you just announce your position and make it impossible to fight back for you and often your allies too.
Except this game has a stupid mechanic where you can ‘see’ hidden enemies by probing smoke cover with machine gun fire. It’s absolutely idiotic. And the hit-cam enables players to even see exactly where the crew are, even if the rounds don’t penetrate, so they can adjust their aim while you’re sitting helpless.
@@kirishima638That too, but my primary problem with people smoking when immobile is that they just blind themselves and allies around them. What you mentioned isn't even necessary, you can just keep the gun trained on them and shoot again which is how at least half the people get killed in smoke. It's just not a sound tactic to make yourself unable to shoot back effectively or keep track of where the enemy actually is.
