а можно еще и дымным снарядом
Нашел в обсуждениях на английском - можно влепить дымным снарядом или гранатой. Обнаружение противника должно быть видно всем.

In the TV series "Band of Brothers", an account of the US 101st Division's operations in Europe there is an incident where the paratroop infantry spot a Tiger tank in a town and try to get an approaching British tank to fire upon it. The tank commander comments :-
"I don't disbelieve you old boy, but I can't shoot at what I can't see, can I?"
Such situations are just as likely in modern combat, but the results will be different if the infantry have Adhesive Smoke Grenades available. Even if the tank tries to change position after being marked the column of smoke will betray it. This smoke will also obscure the crew's vision, and if they decide to unbutton the infantry will be certain to take advantage.
I've suggested that the Adhesive Smoke Grenade might use Napalm, giving it a wider range of uses and making being hit by one even more of a problem for a vehicle.
Ed had his own variation of the Adhesive Smoke round, which is to use it in higher velocity weapons –rather like spotting rifle rounds, but with contents that stick to the target and emit smoke for a longer duration. The capacity of a rifle or .50 calibre round would be small, but this may be offset by using them in Machine Guns. Another idea is to create a 20mm version for use with AMRs such as the NTW20. 25mm and 30mm versions could be used in IFV armament and a 40mm shell for Carlton's 40mm Scout-Snipers.
