Making smoke screens has been part of warfare since we could make fire.

I know I jump over mechs sometimes just to try to blind them a bit with my jets and it's set me to wonder.

ECM can be set to screen or cut through a screen.

Why not have jump jets have an alternate setting to produce smoke. More jets means more smoke. When you're making smoke you can't jump. Have a 1-2 second switch over and you wont be able to switch mid jump and blind anyone.

Think of all the open areas in games, the ability to screw with heat vision.

sounds like an interesting idea. We need more ways to provide cover other than ECM.

Before flamers are thought to be used the same way a flamer does not run out of ammo, it could be abused far too easily. Jump jets have limited use before they need to recharge.
