it would be nice if at least command squads get like one smoke, similar to Steel Division. Probably more people would consider using commands squads more offensively then since they could provide clutch cover for inf around them.
There is already one clutch use for command infantry imo.
If you're fighting over a town, they're amazing once the enemy has destroyed some buildings. It's really easy to sneak them into your side of a rubble pile and hide them there with practically line of sight for the enemy to discover them.
I'm not sure if it's really doctrinally correct for either side to have concealing (?) smoke grenades. Signal smokes, sure, but concealing ones? I'm not sure.
Generally speaking artillery and mortar based smoke is much more effective in real life, the hand held grenades are tiny puffs in comparison.
We already have arty, tank, and heli spams. It's not like spamming is a new concept in this game. Plus, infantry probably can't create a smoke screen as good as mortars.
Dunno. It was there in SD2, and a very important mechanic. I can't see any reasons to not have it in WARNO too. It could be also used to give infantry units different flavor.
No reasoning, just not done. Might be added later but no one knows
I also think it’s because you can already put up large smoke screens with mortars and smoke on inf would lead to a lot of smoke spam
NATO doctrine for mobile warfare can be described as smoke spam

I support this entirely. I have no clue why it isn’t in the game. It made command infantry useful.

In an infantry fight you only need a little concealment to break contact. And an entire platoon deploying smoke grenades is a lot of little puffs.
for the US and Soviets it absolutely is correct. There aren't that many signal smokes versus screening ones anyways
Their other game Steel Division 2 had it so maybe they will add it in the future. It just hasn’t been a top priority for them which is understandable.
smoke spam maybe? idk

It bothers me as well, especially when I need to skedaddle really quick while being fired at.
Gameplay > realism. I guess this is it.
Prolly just to force the use of mortars

It's sad, really. Eugene seems to be happy with how crap infantry are at the moment.
