Pero la jugabilidad es la misma para todos los ejércitos y los demás tienen la capacidad, además, navegando por la red, he encontrado varias conversaciones y comentarios acerca del mismo tema, os pongo aquí uno bastante concluyente
Smoke rounds for artillery certainly existed. I have reference to TM 30-430, "Handbook on USSR Military Forces", War Department, Washington, November 1945.
Pages V-50 to V-51 list the primary and secondary missions of various kinds of Soviet artillery pieces. "Establishment of smoke screens" is listed as a secondary mission for 76mm divisional guns and 152mm howitzers, and and as a primary mission for 122mm howitzers.
Pages V-106, 107 and 112 have a paragraph entitled "Use of smoke", which I quote here in full:
"Soviet tactical doctrine stresses the employment of smoke to cover friendly troops as much as to blind enemy observation. Smoke is used to cover regroupment of forces, concentrations of troops, direction of the main effort, and all phases of large- and small-scale operations where the terrain affords little cover from enemy observation. It is also used to deceive the enemy by false smoke concentrations which cause him to waste ammunition and disclose his firing positions."
"The Red Army uses smoke concentrations over large areas for extended periods to cover major attacks; to protect vital installations such as rail-road bridges, assembly areas, and supply dumps from enemy aviation; to screen a counterattack; or to cover a withdrawal. The width of such a smoke screen varies from 2,500 to 3,500 tards. Roads leading to important locations and all orientation points in the proximity of targets are also covered with smoke to make their detection more difficult."
"Smoke, when used to cover a major attack, is coordinated with the principal phases of the assault. In the preparatory phase, smoke is used to cover the activities of the reconnaissance parties and obstacle-clearing detachments. During the assault phase, smoke is laid over the forward lines of the enemy. Care is taken not to blind friendly observation posts. In this phase, false concentrations of smoke are used to confuse the enemy as to the direction of the main effort. A smoke screen may be laid between the first and subsequent assault waves. During combat with the defense lines of the enemy, smoke is used to cover portions of the enemy position, to blind by-passed centers of resistance, or to blind stubbornly defended areas."
"Small-scale employment of smoke is an established practice in the Red Army. Smoke pots or smoke hand grenades are used to cover the actions of an individual soldier or a small unit, or to blind individual enemy observation posts or firing positions. Smoke is a valuable cover for individual riflemen or a small infantry unit during the advance toward enemy lines. Tank units use smoke not only to cover their advance from the assembly area to the deployment area and maneuvers within the enemy defense zone, but also for withdrawal from enemy fire. Smoke is also used to simulate tank losses, to screen the work of tank crews in repairing minor damage on the battlefield, and to facilitate the evacuation of damaged tanks under fire. Three to five smoke pots are used to screen the maneuvers of one tank."
"Judicious use of smoke can nullify efforts of the enemy when he uses smoke shells for registration fire."
