The White Phosphorous Grenade can provide short term protection against visual and IR observation
Description (Specifications)[edit]
White Phosphorous Grenades are designed to allow Infantry to temporarily screen their movements from visual and IR observation. Each grenade will create a cloud of smoke about 20m across that lasts from a few seconds (high-gravity, strong wind) upwards. Note that the smoke cloud is itself highly visible to optical and IR observation.
n.b. White Phosphorous will burn only and anywhere that there is oxygen - This grenade will only work in Atmosphere classes 4-9.
