It calls in a Sandstorm bomber that drops a series of smoke bombs in a carpet-bombing pattern on the target location for a long period of time, temporarily reducing the firepower of enemies caught in the smoke runs.

AI behavior[]

Act One[]

Act Two[]

  • The Smoke Bombs is first usable in the campaign in Exist to Exit.
  • In Meltdown (except on Mental difficulty), with integrating Latin Confederation arsenal to use, the Smoke Bombs is usable by the player, even though the player's subfaction is Russia, without need of Battle Lab.

Behind the scenes[]

  • In 3.0 Smoke Bombs used the default Soviet Cargo Plane instead of the current Sandstorm. It was also free of cost and had a 30 second shorter recharge time, giving Latin Confederation generals more liberty to use the said support power.
  • Prior to version 3.3.5, Sandstorm was named as Tu-16 Bomber.
