Update:After some experiments, I figured out how exactly the bug works. A unit only gets the flamethrower's burnout cover bonus after it moves into the smoke. Once it has moved, the green bonus marker appears. Afterwards, you can TTC the unit in and out of the smoke tiles and the marker will disappear and reappear accordingly.

However, if you TTC a unit into the smoke that has never actively *moved* into the smoke before, no marker appears.

Problem is that the Technical, of course, *doesn't* move into the smoke on the turn he activates the flamethrower (unless he activates Quickburn before and then steps one square to the side). Therefore, he hardly ever gets the cover bonus.

Can anybody test and verify that this is indeed the case in general and not just something wrong with my installation?
