hmm interesting, i'll have to play around and take special notice when things are firing at the front of crocs. I'm still highly skecptical of the 10% hp thing, sounds similar to people saying that the sandbags you get when you add a 50 cal gunner to the sherman increases their armour.

Actually, I'm pretty positive its possible for your gun to stick outside the smoke while the actual tank is inside it. Meaning that your output receives no accuracy penalty where as the input (from a hostile tank) does.

Currently smoke is 35 for 1 use - it is only useful vs schreks with their now expanded scatter angle, everything else still hits pretty accurately through it just based on physics
From my own experience, and I did use smoke pretty extensively at one point, it worked mainly against other tanks like the Panther/Tiger/PzIV. I think duvka made a video of my vet 3 sherman beating a panther (using smoke & field repairs) but can't find it.

Maybe they changed it though.

If the use could be upped to perhaps 2 uses then maybe I'll look into getting it, but I used the smoke as an "OH SHIT I NEED TO GTFO" pop it and run away, but I did not notice any real help it was giving me.

As near I can tell, the dozer acts as a shot-blocker so shots that roll misses and will still hit via physics have a chance of being blocked by the dozer, whether its up or down

I have no stats evidence for this, but I play with crocs both ways and I definately get significantly more shots pinging off the dozer than I do the regular


I guess its just mind tricks, all the croc gets from the dozer is a 10% health bonus.
