I would sooner wish to smoke cigs , drink strong liquor and scratch my arse -than salute.
Today I was playing as a german in Stalingradkessel, I just killed some russians in the assembly hall and I went into the big room, just to rest a bit. Now, what if you had an option to smoke a cig, to make it not completly useless the cig could decrease the blur effect you have when bullets pass you for a couple of minutes. After all, soldiers smoked cigs too cool their nerves. And isn't RO about realism?
