Re: Someone care to genuinely explain to me the physics behind Bangalore smoke?

Smoke go swoosh.

Nah seriously though, bangs smoke is a real butt pain. It all depends on crap like distance from the smoke etc. It's hard to explain really but if you have a play around with it you'll see what I mean.

    It's somewhat what I've been experiencing lately. A lot of the Bangalore I play against seemingly know there is some kind of way to see through the smoke. Which is probably why the pickrate is so high right now. At first I assumed it had something to do with graphics settings, but none of them have changed anything regarding the visibility, so it must be something I don't know about (yet)

    The issue for lack of a better word, has always been there with bang smoke, the issue that @pandareno1999  mentioned just heavily exasperated it.

    What your enemies will be seeing is a flash of your silhouette, which is just enough to track your movements. I'm not sure if it can be manipulated as the criteria of distance etc seems to just change at random. I think the time the smoke has been active also plays a big factor.
