Infared scope bug

It is intended that thermal scopes don't work through player activated smoke. The descriptions of the smoke grenade and smoke grenade launcher show this intent. Also thermal smoke on vehicles blocks thermal lock-ons. It makes sense that [anti]thermal smoke would block thermal scopes as well. I do however see enemies randomly not being highlighted in thermal scopes when they should be.
I believe the source of the confusion is that the only thermal signatures that ends up obstructed by smoke are the soldiers and vehicles; ammo pouches, guns, and deployables remain highlighted through smoke.
