Sort of surprised that this has not been put in the game, but this seems like a fairly easy add.

Basically, as another consumable, you can put in Mech smoke, basically, fills an area around a mech with smoke for a limited time to help block LOS. Can be used as a possible escape mechanic.

The same goes for Artillery Smoke. Tag an area and a large smoke field explodes there, blocking LOS. Would be a nice feature to allow mechs to cross a covered field for a limited time.

I have heard that there are cheats/mods out there that allow players to ignore the current smoke of certain maps...so this would have to be done differently so that it can't be ignored. But honestly, no cheat or mod should be allowed, so hopefully that isn't true.

Everyone has access ro thermal vision so smoke wouldnt do a whole lot of good in my opinion.

I like the idea, also favor something like this :

Im pretty sure it is a sci-fi infuse smoke that can be effective despite everybody having access to thermal vision....no?
