When a tank is fired I think there should be tons of smoke liek

Yeah that would be sweet. I don't know how well they could implement it within the game but i say more smoke too.

That video is sweet, but I think they do far too much whooping and shouting for professional soldiers.

Maybe smoke grenades could also be altered. Smoke should vent out from the bottom of a smoke grenade as it does in reality , instead of how it is now, just an exploding grenade causing a massive puff of smoke.

Difficulty may arrise as to which direction would the smoke go? In reality it goes in the direction of the wind, something which is so irritating! Also there is a delay between when the grenade is thrown until there is actually enough smoke to provide concealment.

hes right, a tank main gun doesn't generate that much smoke. It's dust from the overpressure of the gun, it wouldn't happen in lets say a frozen or grassy enviroment.

yeah, I agree that most of that is dust/sand blown up from the concussion and muzzle blast... but it's f**king cool none-the-less.

This depends on the smoke grenade type. Smoke grendes that use white phosphorus properties can explode and create large amounts of smoke due to the unique nature of white phosphorus absorbing the moisture around it. I really like the idea of using smoke that vents from the grenade, but it's realistic as well to have them explode. Plus, could the BF2 engine even make a venting smoke grenade?

The grenades that they are using are the venting type. Also, the WP ones, when they explode, have white streamers coming flying out. If you watch the Movie We Were Soldiers you can see this when the commander calls Broken Arrow.
