fixed Smoking infantry

[Default774]

The last OB patch added the following feature:

• Added smoke from vehicles and some static objects based on health, this means as a vehicle takes more damage you may see different levels of smoke giving you a better idea visually if you did any damage on that last run in.

The only problem with this is that this effect also gets triggered on infantry units, making them smoke when damaged beyond 50%.

Since the latest OB patch, infantry that is damaged appears to be taking a smoke break. Their cigs appear to be 100% tar though. Very unhealthy.

They continue smoking after they take a nap after a few more 30mm to the face.

It's reported internally.

Smoking should be prohibited.

It's now a thing. 

 

Also smoking infantry that are wounded. 

 

The smoking vehicle thing should be temporary. It gives away your vehicle position very badly. Also - what is 'smoking' on the vehicle? I don't understand. This was an un-needed feature that didn't consider Combined Arms.

It's one of the most hilarious bugs I've seen in DCS yet.  Clearly a failure to anticipate, the dev who did that probably forgot we had infantry in DCS. Still funny, though.

Talk about being "burnt out" in your job...

As the title says, I noticed that when infantry gets wounded, they start smoking like a damaged vehicle, which looks pretty ridiculous tbh. ^^

I tested this with the units "Infantry M4" and "Infantry M4 Georgia" (both non-static). 

I can provide screenshots if necessary, but this should be simple to reproduce. For example I set up a mortar to fire upon an infantry squad. Since it fires indirectly and doesn't have the destructive force of real artillery, many units just get wounded... and start smoking immediately.

I've noticed the same thing, obviously it detracts from immersion and realism and looks like an arcade game...

Infantry on DCS as treat as vehicules, has none a "infantry" type on DCS.

Preparing for new napalm weapons maybe?

Infantry animation smokes like a vehicle when hit. A tall column of smoke is attached to individuals.
