Artillery smoke question

It's not just 5 lines of code that would need to be added to make that work. More like 100x that. Just to put it in perspecitve WinSPMBT now contains 13299383 lines of code ( thirteen million 2 hundred and ninety nine thousand, three hundred and eighty three lines of code )

Wow, how WinSP source can be that large? That's like some operating system source. How long SP has been in development, 15 years?

There must be lots of comments

[DRG]

The count was of lines of CODE, not comments. This is not a simple game

Keep it for all. I qualified on 81mm mortar. Firing smoke was one of the mortar platoon's tasks.

[DRG]

NOBODY is suggesting 81mm Mortars shouldn't be able to fire smoke.

When artillery fires a smoke round, how many rounds of gameplay does it remain for? Ie. If I create a barrage of smoke as part of my openning turn, does that smoke last for the entire game or a limited time?

[Pats]

If I'm not wrong it depends on the weather condition etc. but definetly not for the whole game... more or less 1-3 rounds.

[pdoktar]

Only a limited time, maybe 2-5 turns, depending on caliber of the shell, to my recollection.

Thanks!

How about guns larger than 105mm and hoitzers 155mm and less can fire smoke?

All but the biggest of mortars (81mm and up) should be able to fire smoke.
