Correct, cooking a nade is not the smartest thing to do in RL with a whole team around you (Nade cooker gets sniped?).

the chemical fuses tend to be quite reliable, but you need to have exactly the same quantity in every grenade to be sure, so, unless you trust whoever makes the grenades more than you have ever trusted anyone in your life, cooking isnt smart

im not in any military service, but in americas army, in us mout (i think its called) they teach you to cook grenades, is that just something to add for gamplay or do they actualy teach that in real life? the game is suposed to be a reflection of the actual army. Anyway, im against cooking grenades, i want a chancne to atleast run a few steps before i get blown up.

i remember them teaching it in AA but i doubt anyone uses it, if you have an imperfect HEDP in your hand you wont have that hand for long

I had a goosd expirience with a nade in AA once. On hospital(assault) I was in the west loading wing, I threw a nade and it clipped the top of the sliding door, it bounced back and landed no more than 5 feet away from a teamate, luckly I hadnt cooked it, I ran back went prone on it. It blew up, I died and got -10 because I died, but my teamate went unharmed, hopefully it will be possible in this mod.

Actually, in America's Army, it's taught as a function in the US Weapons training. MOUT training is where you learn to fight in urban envuronments, and use your NVG.

I would pay good money just for this in PR.
