There's also one method, if lets say that on your field you'll only have a vehicle type like the AEC that can only puff smoke onto it's vehicle and you'll need to charge through a building with raken or mg, you'll just move your vehicle up, puff smoke, and then let your inf charge in with grenades or just continue use your vehicle to do damage without needing to receive back.
Obersoldaten have the same Frangible smoke grenade as Fallschirmjäger, comet can use smoke rounds (and even WP-rounds as he is vet) and the pak-howi of US can do WP-barrage... :) In addition to that you could call in smoke bomb drop as ostheer and the sector assault (hope thats the right name, playing the game on german) from breakthrough commander does a smoke barrage after the artillery cover there can be a lot of smoke, thank you for smoking
If an opponent has a sector occupied with entrenched positions, smoke can be used to de-cap the sector, with a smoke run and mortar smoke in succession, re-cap the sector. And then, if you like, zeroing artillery will pulverize them. >:{]~
I think the US riflemens grenade kit should be mentioned. It enables them to use rifle smoke grenades which is often more useful than the normal pineable grenades since the range is way further and they only cost 15 amunition. Great tips though
+Helping Hans (James Whiteside) There are so much more. First that come to my mind: greyhound, pack howie, TA, all the other ostheer vehicles with panzer tactician, comet. Commander abilities that drop smoke and OKW camo are also worth mentioning as they serve similar purpouse.
yeah i found them and watched em all . thank you for this useful tip . now i wining most of my games and learning more and more every day from your videos
ehm... no ostheer veichle only has smoke (except mortar halftracks barrage)only if specialzed for it (panzer taction) man why do the okw have no smoke barrage of anything, wonder why. oh wait i should critizie a great designchoice like okw no mg or heavy tank that can have smoke and emergency reverse ability.
also, considering my options as okw, inorder to get by an mg i have to get a puma/vet1aa half-track or get go through deadly smoke with my vet1 falls or vet 1 obers as . seems the faction was created by someone with mental handicaps. (sorry for my harsh CRITISIM, but they made it like this) btw is unaimed smoke + blitz very skillfull gotta press dom buttons

wow hans your videos has been very helpful to me . i just started coh2 in about 2 weeks and i know a lot thanks to u :)
@ 8:00 even though you can drive over spottet mines and they won't go off, keep in mind the enemies can still shoot the mines manually!
I always forget the smoke skills of my units, not anymore. Thanks Hans!

i know this stuff is fairly old but still applies. thanks for the vids. watched most of them now
Thankyou, great video. Aggressive smoke + Flamers on attack ground is also very effective against emplacements of all kind. Maybe do a vid on that?
would like to see more videos like this ..... awesome, thank you!
Can you do a tip on control groups? Especially with many units/vehicles
We need a video about microing tanks :D Heavy tanks, light tanks, tank destroyers, the works. Great work with this video, hope you keep em` coming :)
How about the Comet?
Whats the mod/workshop mod he is using ?
Comets have the same smoke as crommwells and Obers also have the damaging smoke. And theres Panzer tactitian ;)
Does anyone know how to get to this mode that Hans is using? With those nice buttons to switch factions etc.?
found it. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=692412438 EDIT nope seems to be another one but also good
Smoke! the art of war!
How can you show the damage?
Nice video Hans.

I remember one time I saw a PG shreck blob and used smoke on it w a sherman and ran over the SOB causing him to rage quit
It's so much bullshit that only allied tanks can effectively run units over...
