Smoke seem to not working for bot

[Slycase]

is this intentional?

Well if you wanna RPing in your mind. Automatons they don't need sight like we humans.

Well they do kinda stop shoting after a couple of secs and then will start to close in on you. But hence the smoke screen they still are able to hit way more then you while in return you are blind as a mole so that it kinda works more against you rather then helping you from my experience so smoke is an easy strata to not use at all.

To give you a real answer, stealth is 100% broken right now. Enemies can see through visual obstructions and track you perfectly. Cover no longer works.

Theres literally tooltips stating the automatons are extra vulnerable to suppression mechanics.

It's not just smoke, the whole stealth system is broken.
I've been sniped by laser turrets out of the fog, while I had no vision on it, and while crouching.

They made hidden changes that broke stealth, thus smokes and vision impairing effects work only on players and nothing else.

Smoke does not make them stop shooting, that's what EMS does.

Smoke makes them shoot and walk at your last seen location, you can drop it, reposition, take cover and ambush them from flank.

I mean why would they stop shooting? Sure they can't see you, why why would they stop shooting in the general direaction you were two seconds ago?

Literally nothing in the game suggests they have thermals, and beyond that we have smoke that shuts down thermals irl.

You have to have the smoke basically 10m infront of or basically ontop of them for anything to happen and even then it doesn' work most of the time.

I'm waiting to be told as an Arma/Squad player that I'm using smoke wrong somehow for putting a huge cloud inbetween me and enemies, though.

I dropped eagle smoke inbetween me and a huge crowd, dove backwards to get behind the hill, and mid-dive a Heavy Devastator IN the cloud lasered me with 100% accuracy during the dive. So yeah, no, it's broken, and anyone saying it isn't or trying to use "Muh realism" arguments is a simp.

works fine to me. they lose the line of sight

[talm bout dang ol bugs man]

my personal experience, smoke and sneaking has been VERY strong. I have no idea what anyone else in this thread is saying. Everyone is used to scripted sneak systems, this game has no scripted sneak system, but has a sound and sight system that is exploitable to make sneaking possible.
