Grenade damage range

[bobogaz]

could we PLEASE increase the grenade KILL range? Like sometimes with grenaidier, i land a grenade like 2 FEET from enemy and he walks away. plaease let it ibe instant kill for enemy with a grenade up to like 5 or 10 metres. its rediculus how you throuw a grenade into a small room and they all survive.

he walks away

with blood in front of his eyes

[bobogaz]

but, he should die instatly! in RL, he would have to crawl!

[R.J.Travis]

you are speaking of the M203 launcher Grenade?

From what I understand, he would like the hand grenades to have the same blast radius/damages as the 40mm grenades.

Tirak, is that really nessessary? It's not helpful and starting to get on my nerves.[/rant]

Onto the issue at hand, I have got to say that grenades in general do seem rather wimpy. It should be "Ahhh! Grenade! Run!" not "Hey look a green cherry bomb!". I've frequently had grenades land right close to me during a firefight (as in within 3-6 feet) go *bang* and give me the suppression effect and nothing else. Hell, the only times I've ever managed to kill someone with a grenade is when I hit the RMB instead of the LMB and blow me and my squad up (ironically, they work then!)

Quite frankly they don't feel anything like a grenade and should definately have the blast radius increased. I remember that in 0.5-0.6 (something like that) they had their blast radius dropped right back because people would spam them like crazy because ammo was extremely abundant (3 ammo bags for riflemen, rallies etc.) and not use their rifles. With ammo no longer being as abundant as wheat, I think it would be quite safe to boost the blast radius back up again and not return to vBF2 type nadespam that was so prevalent before.

So please, can we get the radius increased again?

This.

+9000, it's really getting annoying, and expectable in EVERY suggestion currently...


Back OT, I agree that hand grenades need a bigger blast radius or at least, need to be deadlier. Currently they're not used wisely and tactically, they're just spammed one after each other so to increase the chance of injuring the enemy, because only one rarely kills anyone.
AFAIK, isn't that exactly the nade spamish attitude that PR wanted to prevent? Because now it's just promoting it.

Well if you think these nades are small. Try playing 0.6 again. =D vBF2 nades ftw.
But yea I agree it should be a bit stronger.

The simplest way to answer this is yes, get used to it. If they can't be assed to care about using the search function or the *** List, then I can't be assed to care if it annoys them or you. These two systems exist for a reason, use them or get used to me posting that in every single thread made.

And me locking it. The devs know about this issue from the previous threads, they really don't need another one to bring it back up again.
