I'm I the only one who thinks defensive smoke in the capzone is a stupid idea? this has bugged me for years playing ro1 and 2.
An example the defensive team sets up inside a capzone with a good line of sight killing enemies as they run towards the zone.Then some SL comes along and tosses smoke all around our cap.Blocking our teams line of sight and pretty much helping the attacking team get a easy run into the zone.This happens far too often and in my opinion 90% of the time hurts the defenders.The times it doesn't is when a flank is being mowed down on the way to a cap and having a smoke screen to be able to get to the zone helps"Not in the zone itself".Unless its absolutely being raked by enemy fire which is rare for most of the attackers is advancing.
Just because a SL has smoke doesn't mean he needs to use them in a defensive capzone situation.In real life smoke is mainly an offensive tool and a way to advance to an objective.While on defense you want a good line of sight to kill the enemy as he approaches.If your in a good spot killing lots of enemy and defending the cap well do you really want smoke dropped at your feet I get this too many times it seems.
Am I the only one who believes in this ? I see it all the time and it really tiks me off lol
