using smoke guide for noobs and non veterans

[TONYTomatoes]

see in rl when attacking you use smoke, in defense never, unless you have a full scale retreat which doesnt happen often unless your in the french army. in game use smoke when attacking and on defense never, with the exception if yourt being spwan camped then use smoke to get to defensive objective.

What if you want to stand in smoke on defence just to hear somebody coughing and start shooting in their general direction?

Well you can use smoke in any situation but there is one very simple rule to it:

Never throw the smoke at yourself, always put it towards the enemy.

Inherently, you have the upperhand if you are in position while defending. Giving the enemy anything that allows them to close the distance is reducing your advantage and bringing them closer to even footing.

Well damn, im the kind of defender that lays prone behind some sandbags and shoots the attackers in the back when i let them in to the capzone even if the best defence would be to kill the enemy before they reach the capzone

any situation I seriously think your stretching it there, no its to be used as I said not you

Well I'm not saying that smoke is always a good idea but it can at least always be somewhat beneficial, IF used right.

My emphasis is on getting people to use it right because I think that the HOW is a much bigger problem than the WHEN.


Currently I pretty much hate smoke in INS because of the way ppl generally use it.




- As long as you put the smoke at or towards the enemy, you're blocking their view without very much affecting your own. So this is good.

- Furthermore if you put smoke at the enemy, they will be easy to spot when they attempt to run through that smoke. (when you get out of the smoke, the smoke behind you will actually make you easy to see)

- Smoke doesn't stop bullets. This is especially true for all the machinegunners out there. So again, don't put the smoke at yourself, put it at the enemy!

- Smoke also doesn't stop explosives *doh* but makes it harder to evade or get cover from them

Also I've noticed if its getting really hot throw a smoke on left/right forward about 30-35 meters and the bots will be attracted to it and some will focus more on that then you.

Bump just because the noob arsehats still don’t have a clue about smoke protocol

[khann]

I just really hate when I'm defending and teammates start smoking out the objective. If your in a defensive position there is no need to obstruct your view and angles. Use your bullets not smoke.

[Jesus_Guy]

Just to add. Smoke is really useful if you have to run though a fatal funnel.

Also, you want to smoke the enemy. So they can't see. Not throw smoke, before the objective, Run though the smoke, exit smoke......just before the entrenched enemy position...... Not being able to see the enemy until kissing distance isn't what you want.
