When I am fighiting a battle with the AI (even the showcases) and I throw a smoke grenade in hopes to provide cover, they are still able to shoot me with great accuracy through the smoke.

Steps To Reproduce
- Stand some distance away from enemy AI soldier. (who is opening fire on you)
- Toss smoke grenade between the two of you.
- Wait for smoke to obstruct view of enemy AI soldier.
- Note the AI still having good accuracy on you, while your own view is clearly obstructed.
Additional Information
It would be much more realistic if the AI cant shoot at you through smoke effectivly. Would make base infiltrations more effective by "Popping Smoke" to cover enterence/exit. Would make medevac situations more survivable by "Popping Smoke" to cover retreat/helicopter landings.

I have not experienced this. The ai will continue to fire at you last known position or if you are moving, at the position they predict you to be in. If you move after throwing smoke their shots will not follow you but rather keep landing where you used to be. Smoke works find in my experience, you just can't be predictable.
Sometimes there are "thin spots" in the smoke that the ai can see through, but you can see through them too so it is not cheating. I think it would be worth it however to make smoke thicker so that this doesn't happen as often.

Coulum is right. AI is not able to see through the smoke, it just trying to hit you even if it doesn't see you. Closing as not a bug.
