I ma having issues with smoke in general some people can see clear through them like hte smoke is not even there. I was told with engine smoke this is normal if they have thermal but not canisters. I had enemies fly around a corner into a smoke filled area with me behind cover and shoot literally the only weapon frontally I had that was about hte size of a cola can through the smoke.

Now if you pop smoke while engaged the enemy already has a bead on you and that is on you. It is also on you if you are shooting through it broadcasting your exact location. However lately a lot of people can see through it regardless.

I had some smoke shells I fired with the Maus a few days ago not work as well.

they are ricocheting (even off the ground) at angles they defiantly should not be.
The Sherman jumbo's smoke shells for example, i have had them bounce off about a 45 degree sloped hill 4 shots in a row and hit a cliff 600 meters or more behind where they bounced from.

I now played like 5 games with the japanese Chi-Nu, and I have the same problem. I fired multiple smoke shells, but nothing happened. It is really frustrating since I use them a lot to capture zones under cover.

I have already talked about this issue multiple times, both HE-VT & Smoke shells as well as HE shells have a bug in which they do not detonate on impact or proximity over 60% of the time. At most, HE-VT shells will become inert while HE & Smoke will explode 20-50 m above the supposed impact, whether its against an enemy or an object and other times become inert as well.

This all started after the update for the adjustment to the HEAT shells, which somehow caused a bug to these shells.
