Thermal imaging

[Dimitry]

I've noticed a very strange thing in the game - vehicles with thermal imagers are indifferent to smoke.
Here is the example - year 1981. We have 2 lines of smoke across the map, dividing two tanks with thermal imagers. So they see through smoke (the range of sight is not even slightly reduced) and can shoot with same accuracy as if there were no smoke at all.
I can understand if it is year 2005 or + (maybe some radars or something like that ). But not 80's or 90's.
But moreover, all modern tanks have laser range finders. I doubt that they can function throuhg smoke - so the accuracy should be severely reduced.
I guess this affects all laser-guided atgm's, bombs and so on.
