How long is a salvo of off-map 152/155mm smoke supposed to last after impact?

How long is a salvo of off-map 152/155mm smoke supposed to last after impact?

At the instant of impact the initial duration of a 152/155mm smoke salvo is set to a random value not less than five minutes (300 seconds) and not more than seven minutes (420 seconds).

At the end of that period of time there is a 50% chance per fifteen second combat/movement pulse, that the duration of the smoke will be extended by another 15 seconds.

Thanks, MajorH...that's what I was looking for. Will help in determining salvoes needed, ammo needed, and unit delays to get everyone across relatively safely.

6 min is my number for those calcs, usually works well
