Direction doesn't, strength fluctuates a bit I believe.

The clouds move with the wind. They remain in place if there's no wind but they still kind of change shape a little bit. The puffs they're made out of rotate and shift.

We've shown smoke tracers too.
Each gun has a selection of ammunition types you can put in the ammo belt. Each ammunition type has various associated effects in addition to its own ballistics. There are tracer rounds, smoke rounds, etc. Tracers are of different colors, and some have associated smoke. I don't believe they're dependent on weather.

Some AI are better than IL-2 and they'll snipe you with impossible snap shots. You'll scream at our AI guy until you get online and have a good human do the same.
Bad AI is even worse at shooting than IL-2. We've watched tons of gun camera footage - not the dramatic close-up great-shot footage that goes around everywhere, but lots and lots of the other stuff. Real pilots fired God knows where. So do our rookies. They spray and pray, forget about deflection altogether or miscalculate it grossly etc.
I.e do about what I do.

I've posted examples of this before, but I can't for the life of me remember the correct term for this. I think it might be called a smoke vortex.

No, there's no visible wake vortex. We didn't even plan it as part of the complex weather module. Too complex, smoke effects would kill everything regardless of whether anyone flies through them.
