EXACTLY! rifles were designed around having smoke! Needing to close to be at maximum effectiveness and it was still too strong to have a single unit able to do everything. It will be no different for Tommies who are just as frequently blobbed. Players don't want to use the tools they already have, why would they? They want to be able to JUST build their mainline infantry and force of every enemy obstacle.
Mainline infantry should NOT have smoke. I know it's hard to tell from WFA designs but the game is actually supposed to be about combined arms, not just the most powerful mainline. Smoke on Tommies will dumb down ukf play and dissuade any thoughts of combined arms play.

How? It's literally just a buff.

Instead of just having the explosive barrage, you've got a choice between explosive or smoke.

The explosive barrage is better at displacing weapons in almost all respects, the smoke barrage is free and doesn't need to be on target.

I don't see any harm in adding a smoke barrage to the Pyrotechnics sections. Make it free, but it still triggers the global howitzer cooldown.
