Remember, the tankers did not want exhaust smoke giving them away to the enemy.
Well now that you got me onto this smoker thing, I've come up with another possible brilliant idea. It is, not too insane (I think). I could still use both smoking units in the Tiger I, along with the secondary motherboard, could direct all three of the plastic tubes into just the one - into the one that comes out of the cannon when it fires instead of a measley little slow moving puff of smoke. But I don't know how the blower and heater could work like that without release for such long periods. That's the problem (also remember that they would each be running off separate boards tied into just a single 7.2V battery) so that in itself might be the solution?
