No they aren't. The videocard I have can disable smoke if I mess with the settings, but there is a downside because it also messes with the cloud settings. Right when I got this card it was setup like that and made flying almost impossible so I started GVing and noticed that I would never see smoke from smoke rounds. I even gamed the game by popping smoke rounds near enemy tanks knowing that they would be blind but because the smoke wouldn't render on my end I can still shoot and kill them. After about a week I finally found the right settings that fixed it and haven't changed it back.



Thanks for filling me in Larry.  Definitely gamey.  Shame on those that need such a crutch to compete in AH.

Have a great day,

Way

So far the ones that have 'come clean' about this 'advantage' dont show that they have made much of a 'profit' from it.  :rofl

Curious.  I wonder if I did the same thing by accident, since I've never actually seen smoke, or if I did it goes away when my turret swivels.  Not that my scores reflect that "advantage: :rofl

I should also add that I very very rarely even use smoke and I don't see it used that much either. In MW anyway
