    Smokes are most useful for me to feint an attack. I often throw them the opposite direction I plan on coming in from and will often be successful in getting the flanks of defenders this way. I see too much people throwing smoke and pushing through it and just getting mowed down. I have even used the feint move with smoke to win a 1 on 1 where the other player has the advantage.

    Even though I have never played this particular game, your tactics in these videos have helped me alot in other games! I don't have an Xbox or a laptop anymore unfortunately, but I do play games on my phone, such as call of duty mobile, PUBG mobile, and Badlanders. And these tactics have been very helpful.

    Sorry but in terms of medical and smoke. It’s redundant more so because this game still won’t allow for us to drag casualties out of hot spots. Smoke is useless to help cover a casualty point because they will just suppress the shit out of the smoke grenade anyway

    There is a lot to read about usage of smoke in WWII tactics articles.
    A short summary is : it always benefit the attackers. (Unless some particular instances)

      because cou can't throw a smoke far enough to be efficient. And at that it would need a much greater wideness to bring the same effect in obscuring sight

    You forgot to say that Russian smokes always extend as a big cloud, while USA smokes always go along the ground and cover more distance from left to right but much less distance from the ground up.
    Always throw USA smokes slightly left of what you want to cover, as they seem to always go left to right from the position you threw them to. It's sometimes finicky but mostly they're not affected by "wind" (there is no wing in Squad).

    • @MrMattumbo

      It should also be mentioned that smoke grenades spark and start to smoke as they fly making them super obvious. I see too many people throw smokes then stand up right from where they threw it and of course the enemy saw the grenade fly through the air and traced it back to the thrower's location and aimed there ready for them to push.

  • @Einherie
    @Einherie 6 років тому +1

    It will work if you have a slow paced solid front action. Many servers have people randomly running here and there, and it's really hard to estimate where the enemy squad is. It's not an issue on the big maps, but really challenging in close combat situations.
    Thanks for the another video on tactics though. I hope they'll get more views.

  • @degiguess

    I feel like your first point of never throwing smokes near bodies is a bit short sighted. Yeah if you're in a scenario where there's one point of contact and you know exactly where the enemy is, sure, throw the smoke at the enemy, but a scenario like that rarely happens. I play alot of medic and generally I find that 9 times out of 10 you're in a situation where you either don't know where the enemy is or the enemy is too spread out to properly cover with 1 or 2 smoke grenades and in this situation you have no choice but to throw smoke only a few feet in front of the body. By throwing smoke closer to a single group of enemies yeah you can obscure more of their sight line but in an actual scenario there will be multiple sight lines you need to cover, in which case you need to keep the smoke close to the point where those sight lines converge, which is you.

  • @GeFlixes
    @GeFlixes 6 років тому +1

    In fact, as medic, if I would have to deploy smoke in order to retrieve a teammate while engaged, I'm 2/3s on the way to call 'give up". Unless there are multible friendlies I can retrieve in one go or it's high value (SL, another medic), it's often too time intensive to pop smoke (unless someone does it beforehand). And there's always the problem that they're waiting for you you to pop and than putting rounds through that.
    The other problem is that friendlies call for the medic but don't include direction to enemy or if they're clear (maybe they crawled back and bled out, or got a under-rifle grenade on the noggins) or hot. The worst that can happen is 3 medics dying on the same spot while trying to revive each other. °^°

  • @jacencade4019

    • @Hama74PL
      @Hama74PL 6 років тому +1

      ...the problem with that flank scenario is , That it shouldn't be allowed in the first place ,but 75% of the time I open a map in a match the entire team is a straight line attack or are all in the space of one square .After the debuff of rush mechanic , the second best tactic is to just flank one square away and you will maybe meet 1 enemy-Who happens to use the same tactic.Short answer-If people didn't suck the smoke wouldn't matter,but that won't change

  • @tmorrison941

    I used to throw “distraction” smokes, whereI’d underhand a smoke as far away from me as I could, in an effort to draw attention away from me. I stopped because I realized, when OpFor shoots my team mate, he knows where homeboy died at, and a random smoke grenade far to the left would be pointless if I’m just gonna go to where my teammate died anyways.

      so true! better have them all spawned in random locations by an "spawn where nobody looks" algorithym. Or at main. Loved that walking in early alpha. To my mind, they found quite a balanced solution to the reaction time to get back into battle.
