Smoke grenades


One thing I thought lacked in PS is smoke grenades. They have many uses; breaking contact, covering flanking maneuvers, signaling, etc.

They should also be able to have the color changed on them for signaling purposes.

Just think your in an infantry wedge formation and all of a sudden mass casualty causing weapons open up on your squad. Your squad takes cover and the SL signals for retreat or breaking contact in its correct term. A few squad members lob some smoke grenades and your squad begins to bound backwards and regroup at a rally point under the cover of smoke.

I also think that this should be one of the options you could apply to vehicles. Many tanks and vehicles today have canisters mounted on them (like 8 on a M1 Bradley) that can be fired for the same purposes.
