im going to make a long story short. after seeing how necessary smoke is in PR, why not add a HMMWV with the smoke generator in the bed?
basically is uses 2 jets of white, and black smoke to make a thick grey smoke. and it would be good for tanker squads on the retreat, or even a infantry squad. make the smoke last a few minutes to give time for them to retreat etc. i think it would be good. and its fairly easy to model, if we can borrow the current support truck model.
discuss.

from [R-DEV]CodeRedFox: "Fixing bugs creates more bugs"
Allot of modeling for an asset with such a small job as to only lay down smoke. Besides most tanks can inject diesel into there engines and create a smoke scree although its not in game atm.

1) Agreed
2) What's new
3) Agreed once again

It IS in the game, driver has a right click which deploys smoke and gunner has smoke as well.
As for the suggestion, it is not necessary and I don't feel this is commonly used thing. Prove me wrong by posting proof of it's extensive use.
A technicality Colonelcool, really? Haha you are correct and I am mistaken. What I meant is the same effect is created by deploying the smoke canisters. And yes, I still feel that although it would be fun to make smoke trails across the vast desert of Kashan, it still is, in my opinion, a waste of time and effort which could be dedicated to something more useful, such as fastropes .
I am not talking about the smoke grenades tanks usaully have a second smoke screen type by injecting fuel into the exhaust and it makes a cloud behind the tank as you drive in the same fashion the humvee in ops post would see video.
I could be wrong but I have never seen this in game.
smoke generators on tanks were suggested before, afaik its not implemented - it causes a lot of lags, so if somebody make lag free generator, maybe it will be implemented

How's that relevant to the OP?
Was it a reply to this?

If that's the case, you should quote him in your post, and check if it's already been answered.

Adetter, that's what you replied to? ...

To further the idea, I think we should also have the Hydration variant of the Hmvee.
Getting water (and perhaps hot meals?) to the troops on the front is an important part of battle so it should be implemented in PR.
Also, medics only should be able to drive the Dental Hmvee.
