1. Grenades are cheesy? How? Kill/suppress without going into room at close range? Working as intended.
2. If Rifleman wants to drop ammo bag and camp there forever, sure...unlimited nades? If you throw more than 3, someone is going out there and stab you with knife. Otherwise there is nothing wrong with throwing a few grenades at a position with pre-prepared bag.

Maybe PR needs to add crosshair to grenades?

I believe that is #1 cause of grenade fail.

Another way is using the thumb on the left hand to aim...
What I do miss is the power bar showing how hard you throw the grenade from vBF2. I mean, you normally have a rough idea about how hard you are about to throw something...

I dont feel like the grandes are being underused. I myself use them quite alot aswell. As a rifleman i find myself reloading grenades on my ammo very often.

Grenades -

A. Are relatively easy to dodge.
B. Make you vulnerable while you throw them.
C. Guns are generally more reliable/convenient.

I use them all the time, whish I had one or 2 more. To aim your nade, aim with your rifle hit 6 or wherever grenades are click profit.

I agree grenades are used as intended but when I tard rush into a crowd of enemy's and throw my magic stone and 3-4 guys go up in smoke I do feel like they should have won the fight and not me :p . If I had used my rifle id be dead by the time I start aiming at guy nr 2. because I have to be stationary to use a rifle unlike a grenade.

It isnt just grenades, light vehicles are underused too, especially the humvees are very effective. Its instant cover more accurate than a marksman rifle and sends the enemy running. I used it on Karbala. I had the squad advance and the humvee pull up when there was trouble. Once the squad was taking fire in the open and all it took was for the humvee to assault to send the enemy running and kill a few while the medic revived. I ran out of ammo boxes twice.

Now tell me about those other 9 out of 10 times when you get turned into hornet's nest while trying to rush toward that crowd of murderers.

So your saying if I got the opportunity to kill 3-4 instead before I die it is better that I just kill 1 which could also fail just the same if he sidestep as i shoot. It is always going to be harder to shoot people with a rifle than a grenade, all you need is a couple of seconds of opportunity.
Grenade is silent (until it goes bang :p ), and it kill or suppress even a moving target.

I'm not talking about the success rate of a grenade when I call it cheesy because you fail as often as anything else, but the fact that your aim can be terrible and you still get some kills out of it :p

If you're working alone it's very risky to switch to a grenade because if you get rushed you're helpless, so i don't really use them unless I know there's someone else looking where the grenade target is.

Throwing a grenade right before you die can be also pretty lame too, as it seems that the grenade will "disappear" if you die mid throw before it hits the ground.

I agree that the grenade throwing power bar should be brought back as well...i mean the weapon overheat bar has returned, and that's much more technical than how hard a human gauges that he'll throw something ;-)

I always use grenades, especially if I am alone and need to attack a position on my own, it helps a lot to clear some enemies in a room and create confusion for the others or get them wounded and make them harder to see you with it.

If you throw a grenade in the direction of the enemy, you keep their heads down, and you alert your team to where they are at.

The return of the throw bar would definitely be appreciated.

Good way to use grenades is to find a suppressed enemy and nade him/them. You should always look for "free" kills. (and when I say free I mean risk free)

Grenades are also amazing for suppressing. I always get pissed when I get blurred by grenade 10 meters away.
