Army consisting solely of Zooka units is very powerful, as it do huge damage and can destroy buildings very quick. Main problem in using it is that Zookas have very little health and die very quickly, especially when attacked by AoE attacks like those from rocket launcher, shock launcher, mortar or flamethrower.

Smoke Zooka tactic is used mainly to move your slow Zookas to the back of the base when there are much less defenses and destroy the core with one attack. Becouse of what I wrote above, this tactic needs to be executed perfectly, as single mistake could wipe out your army. Also often there's large distance to travel under smoke, so you should use your smoke screens efficiently, or you could run out of gunboat energy before reaching destination.

This video shows how you can practice Smoke Zookas. Generally you can do it on any map, where there are no defenses near beach. I suggest Dr Terror base on big map or Hammerman HQ, but as well it could be NPC/player base or even resource base. You should practice two things: one is troop deployment in a way that Zookas form a nice tight group, second is using smoke screen efficiently. For proper deployment you need to set flare in one side of beach - for example right, then deploy boats from left to right in small intervals. (like 1 second) Generally you want first Zooka from every boat to meet each other on the beach. Using smokes efficiently means covering whole path, but without smokes covering each other. If Zooka is out of smoke for a short time it usually is OK, becouse it takes a while for rocket launcher/shock launcher/mortar to make a shot. (this doesn't apply to flamethrowers and machine guns in range)
