Description

Works with War of the Chosen, but also works with vanilla.

Ever lost soldiers to the smoke grenade's buggy UI? Not anymore! Now you can go back to blaming yourself again.

This mod fixes smoke grenades' LOS calculations so that you can rely on them in combat. The smoke preview should now be 100% accurate, even if you pixel-hunt and toss your grenades into the weirdest corners.

This also has an optional feature that gives smoke Long War-style flank prevention - eg. it nullifies the "Flanking" and "Exposed" bonuses to critical chance. This is enabled by default but can be disabled in the INI.

Just tested, this mod REALLY fixes the UI bug, idk why Highlander claims to have fixed it. So make sure to subscribe to this.

My question:
- "Does smoke in LWotC nullify bonuses to critical chance for "flanking" and "exposed""?

Google Gemini AI answer:

- "This is a bit tricky, and it depends on what you mean by "nullify." Here's the breakdown:

Flanking: Smoke grenades do not affect flanking itself. As I mentioned before, flanking in LWotC is about positioning, not line of sight. So, even if an enemy can't see your soldier through the smoke, if that soldier is positioned to the enemy's side, they are still considered flanking. This means the flanking crit bonus will still apply.

Exposed: This is where it gets interesting. "Exposed" in LWotC usually refers to an enemy that has no cover. Smoke grenades do provide cover. Therefore, a unit in smoke is technically no longer "exposed." This means any crit bonuses specifically tied to the "exposed" status would be negated.

Abilities with crit bonuses for flanking or exposed will still get the flanking bonus, even if the target is in smoke."
