Could we eventually get the option to make smoke--tank-like, in all directions from the mech, not a launchable, combined with chaff to aid in escapes? Obscure vision as well as vision modes and missile locks (chaff).
Seems the best use of artillery and air strikes are as a chase deterrent. Would be nice to have a dedicated option for it.

I don't really think it is canon at all; This is war of the future where we do not have all of the nifty little war innovations of the era's past.

In the future there is no smoke.

keep tapping JJs (if you got them) that makes a good smokescreen

I'm a proponent of adding Mech Mortars for smoke and flare rounds.

Yes. I have suggested this myself in the past. *thumbs up!*

I especially think medium mechs should specialise in this form of consumable, to give them a role on the battlefield (to cover their team's advance, to cover their own advance / retreat).
