This is the normal “hot smoke”
and this is the current smoke grenade’s smoke, smoke grenade’s smoke didn’t act like the “hot smoke” which can’t be see through anymore, not sure is it a bug or a new feature.

Modern smoke has the ability to block thermals. This has been in the game for a while.
Smoke from explosions will also be hot and block thermals too.
But just look at the 2nd picture, the Leopard is actually in the smoke and usually I can’t see it because the heat of the smoke but now you can actually see it, or sometime even see through the smoke if there have a strong heat sources behind
It is either non-modern smoke or it is the last 0.5-1 second of modern smoke where it allows you to see through due to it thinning out.
It also looks like the leo is sitting on the edge of the smoke.
It is, but it doesn’t matter. This is the normal effect
and this is the effect at night
it not heat nor cold smoke, it just smoke. Like the one without thermal, not sure is this occur in night battle, but it definitely occur in night test drive

Maybe it is some automatic inversion for night matches? Like how your crosshair is red instead of the standard black.
The custom sight setting, and this have another not sure bug or feature in it. Adding rangefinder in your sight can make the rangefinding become instant, but only works on laser rangefinder
Smoke from you press G with the tank blocks the thermal.
Any other Smoke does not block the thermal, even the one when you press H in some tanks.
edit: If you hit a shell in the Smoke dispenser of a vehicle, the smoke will go off, and that smoke will block the thermals (because is the same one from when they press G)
I know that, but you can look the different of smoke, normal one is white but smoke at night test drive is colourless (not hot nor cold)

O got it.
I did a testdrive and even inverting thermals I could not reproduce your issue.
Further, I went to a testdrive and noticed a unexpected behaviour of the smoke. In fact when it is hit, a flash of white smoke appears, but the smoke cloud become black (cold) instead of withe (hot smoke) as it is during the day battles.
This looks like a bug to me indeed
