What if you used more smoke than was necessary?

Less hazardous, but it seems unnecessarily complicated to gain only a moderate to-hit mod to protect personnel unlikely to survive more than a couple of shots even with it's benefit from the weapons geared to their destruction.  I'd prefer to just not draw attention to my APCs, or they area they plan to move to, period. 

Generally when an enemy decides to eliminate an infantry unit, and they have the appropriate weapons to do so, they do, barring hardened buildings or other kinds of damage soaking cover.  Infantry thrive and survive by not attracting attention and striking when the enemy isn't thinking about them.
