It appears these do more damage to air vehicles then G2A missiles. 2 of these will destroy an ESF. Something needs to be changed i think. A suicide sycthe and a rocket hit the galaxy i then took the liberty of shooting it with a grenade launcher and outfit member confirmed that the smoke did more damage then the both combined =/
Personally, I'd like to see smoke deployed more. Would be a nice way to break up sieges where the enemy has a superior position.
Do the smoke grenades actually do damage?? I have the underslung smoke grenade launcher for my engineer's Trac-5S, an I use it all the time to great effect - I have the IR sight which sees through the smoke, so I will always launch a smoke grenade into aroom where I suspect enemies are, then go in scoped and kill them while they are blinded. Works great. But I've never seen them do damage to anyone, though I admit I've never tried shooting them AT anyone either, just into a room or in front of me.
Yes you can kill infantry with them. They can also do damage to vehicles. 2 smoke rounds take down an ESF. They do more damage to every air vehicle then the A2A launcher
Indeed, totally forgot I had swapped out of the normal 'nade launcher the other day and went to use the underslung, body hit, kill and a big pile of smoke over the corpse. Heavens only knows what the Terran thought.
