Incorrect response. He was in the open but he was spotted near the edge of the smoke. FYI smoke edges still allow you to spot and highlight enemy tags.

-He saw your tag even though you were hidden by the smoke edges. This could be considered a bug but its been there forever.

Did you read Smoke Grenade description in game? You'll find answer

No they can't.
Afaik, only Paiks special helmet can.

Nope.

Ah the good times in BF4 when you could equip yourself with the DMR variant of the Scar, put a thermal scope on it and just throw smokes around you and kill everyone.

sucks that a thermal sight cant see through a smoke with no heat signiture

[Dark Redslayer]

Thermal sights are utterly useless because they don't work lol. I found that out the first time I was trying one, because everyone in this game throws smoke constantly even if its hurting your own team and I just wanted to be able to see.

Wrong, Rao can highlight people for himself with his hacking wrist thing since he can hack through smoke, scan with the wrist thing and switch back to gun and blast people. its really strong tbh

this is a thing IRL as well.

all it takes is for the smoke to have silica particles in it and thermals won't be able to see through it.

IR heat signatures do not pass through glass or silica particles.

Thats fine and all but this game isn't realistic. And thermal scopes are basically useless lol.

Also when I tried a gunner seat in a tank with thermals I swear its cross hairs we're not aligned properly or something. couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

I beg to differ. Especially the x2.5 is excellent, works wonders when you put it on a DMR. It's my most used sight on most rifles. The x1.25 is OK at what it does.
