I'll reckon you be talking about the STuF and STuG's assualt tanks.
They have smoke dischargers (2),they were needed as they were turretless, good frontal armour not so on the sides.
If they recieved a close hit it would mean jocking the vehichle to change facing at the threat which takes time so some german engineer figured smoke dischargers might work.
I don't think it's much a problem as smoke can be a double edged sword,immediatlly fire suppressve fire into the hex,lock on some morters on the vicinty and manuever using that smoke as your cover also,or just still and wait.
