How it could work is that you have several small smoke grenade launchers that when used launches all grenades at once in such a way that it creates a semi-circular (or straight) wall of smoke about 100-150 meters wide. The smoke should work just as hard cover when it comes to visibility and target lock (should block IR).
It should be deployed fast, say 2-3 about seconds to have the full wall of smoke and could dissipate after maybe 20 seconds.
There would be many uses for a smoke screen:
- Covering a retreat
- Temporarily denying the enemy some information by blocking his sight
- Create a corridor to cover the flank of an advance.
