In this example where hexes are SSR'd to level three (the magenta level counters), the hindrance for squad A using the new ruling is +3 while the hindrance for squad B, using standard blind hex rules, is +0 even though the LOS from squad A has to be above the LOS from squad B at every point at the same distance from squad D.q&a said:A24.4 Smoke height
The example states "Squad A fires at squad D with a +3 Smoke DRM for firing down through (but not out of) the Smoke in I4".
Question 1.
If squad A was at level 3, would it still incur a +3 Smoke DRM for firing down through the Smoke in I4?
Question 2.
Would the +3 DRM for the aforementioned attack from level 2 apply regardless of the range to squad D? From level 3?
Yes to both.

The simple answers that avoid having use trigonometry are, "No from level three, yes from level two at any range, no from level three at any range" (there are three questions, not two as Perry implies).
If you wanted to make a special case, you might say that at levels higher than two the SMOKE hindrance only applies against adjacent hexes.
Sigh.
