I think smoke launchers could be useful

[BlackCephie]

sounds cool.

sounds cool, but the game lags already when 4 mechs are on screen. think it could be added without putting more stress on servers_

+1 to the idea, but +1 to this also:

Smoke would be great though. I don't think it'll stress servers too much compared to how much it stresses your rig, its just a non-persistent object that shouldn't last for long anyway

Would be a nice item, sorta like a radar scrambler for the eye

[Pap]

I would love that!

Yeah, dischargers launching a combination of smoke & chaff to keep Rocketeers from locking on with Hellfire & Seeker missiles.  Probably as an item with two or more uses.  Perhaps it gives false radar signatures for a moment or two as well.

Smoke would be so annoying. I can already see people running into smoke, getting lost, and running into walls.

Now that you've mentioned it, it would be hilarious if you were being chased & popped smoke just before turning a sharp corner.  Tunnel-vision at its finest.

I think smoke launchers would be a great defensive item, especially if it had anti-missile effects as well like Ryujin suggested. I could also see dropping smoke to block enemy turrets Having an entire team with smoke launchers covering a large area could be interesting as well.
