Smoke used to make a smoke screen didnt it?

Is it just me or is the smoke in arma3 only for signaling and not for putting down a smoke screen you would use to advance/retreat etc.?

Is there a way to create a smoke grenade that actually makes a smoke screen like they used to?

Use more than one? Use Mortar smoke? Never retreat, never surrender!

I may be mistaken but I threw like 12 smoke grenades once (I had that massive backpack on) and I think it barely did anything. I'm pretty sure in arma2 you could make a huge smoke screen.. these ones just had a tiny smoke trail coming off like a little fire or something. I guess I should double check tonight, I'm at work right now.

Hmm, it is a little... lacking. Here's 5 smoke grenades tossed in a line:

That's a 10m tall board behind the smoke.

hmm that is noticeably better than what I experienced though, it must be my settings being set so low. My current computer is getting a bit older now, that must be it.

Maybe wind caused the smoke to flow inside the ground on uneven terrain? That always happens to me when I least want it.

I think the smoke effect particles going through the terrain when the wind is blowing the smoke down to the ground is the problem.
