Normally i would try to find this answer out myself, didn't see it using search. And getting in a aircraft and a tank or apc at the same time is a little difficult.

You'll prob notice my airtime is not impressive in a plane and very mediocre in a Heli only reason i got my basic aviator badge is i managed to spawn on a squad leader a few times already in flight in a bomber and i got a few kills as gunner....  anywhoo on with the question:

To all you Airplane Jockeys out there:

Does the smoke popped by a tank/apc break the lock from the planes missles or the gunner's laser guided bombs like a flare against AA or SAM turrets or is it just gonna make that armour more difficult (barely) to gun down with the planes cannons/guns?

In my brief/rare minutes I've been in a Plane it was hard to notice. And seeing as how i always manage to eat ordinance when I'm in armour from a enemy airplane swooping down on me I'm guessing the answer is no.

Any way thanks for your guys/gals time.

Hmm that's what I thought thanks... too bad they cant give armour some flares that would shoot up to throw off missiles and bombs from aircraft...

Nothing like hearing, "BEEP BEEEEEP BEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!"

Most jet pilots are arrogant - they'll come in nice and low so you can shoot them with your big guns - that normally makes them think twice next time.

Yup gunned down a few jets that way.

Always seems to get that jet pilot doing a steep overhead dive from the suns blind spot as I'm fending off rabid spec ops while getting stuck on a tree attempting reverse... as my commander has launched an arty stike on top of me and my 50. gunner is shooting non stop at a rock he thinks is a AT soldier.

I am definately not the "uber Leet" player but sometimes ya get a 50. gunner on the turret and he's fireing that Ma duece like he's getting a cash refund on all the brass caseings he's making come out the side of that M2... or just trying to write his name in the sand...

sooo just when you need that 50. to cover your backside, or take out that smoking heli bearing down on you its a little overheated

Smoke is only useful for covering a get away from AT/TOW peeps. They also cover you if an enginneer is fixing the APC/Tank so they don't get shot. Also as the APC moves in or Tank you can pop smoke to cover infantry support (which is probably the best reason it exists).
