Yes, A.I. will automatically pop smoke when engaged. Shoot at them and see.

I always interpreted the popped smoke as "Touché, good Sir"... but I do tend to drop LGBs on them...

Is there any footage of a tank actually popping smoke out there? (the only one I saw on YT was pretty low quality :()

Problems setting up switches on the HOTAS Warthog or similar?

Tanks do pop smoke in DCS World. Unfortunately, it looks nothing like the video above - it's just a very enlarged version of the particle effect used for rotor wash on the ground. It looks so bad it took me weeks to figure out that's what it was meant to represent - I initially thought it was just dust being kicked up from my GAU-8 rounds.

You can attach a screenshot here where the tank throws a protective smoke?

Did you change something in the files?

Thx.

That's it unfortunately. Personally I'd rather they just left it out, since it looks so unrealistic (blatantly recycling the rotor-wash dust effect), and since the tanks don't seem to use it strategically - they just pop smoke whenever they take a hit of any kind. AI units are not affected by it and it hardly conceals the tank from human eyes either. I rather hope they've put some effort into fixing this for Combined Arms.

 

*Edit* this is the default effect - I didn't change any files.

Maybe not for CA initially - but I suspect it will be addressed at some point.

We can't yet. We're all still "patiently" waiting :D

here's a chally doing a smoke screen..

That is engine generated smoke, not "popping smoke" from the smoke grenade launchers.

Here is an M1 popping smoke with views through the Thermal Imager
