Project Reality Forums

Anyone else think that taking out the ability to throw the Incendiary grenade is going in the opposite direction of "reality"

I have thought that many would say, well in real life you don't toss an Incendiary from 30m but it some cases you would but It is important to remember that PR FOB's are not exactly following the rules of reality either.

They did it to prevent people from using incendiaries on manned vehicles (tanks etc), which I think is a great thing. If you've found a FOB you either leave it, or walk up to it and take it out.

a little throw couldn't be to much to ask, say 1 meter to toss it in the back a truck

I could get on board with a small throw. Nothing that would allow someone to take out an asset from a distance, though.

Isn't this a suggestion outside of the suggestion-section?

It is a discussion my dear, not a suggestion

Now it is, after you removed "I would like to have my throwing arm back please".

IRL Incendiary grenades are not thrown around, they are placed directly onto the target. The grenade actually has to be right on what you want destroyed for it to be effective.

If you throw it you are likely to miss the target completely wasting the grenade in the process and you could even cause danger to yourself and others.

ok but if a place an incendiary on the opposite side of the fob from the radio and plant it on the dirt, that destroys the fob so why does it matter where it lands?

This goes in the Feedback section.

Saxoni, next time report the thread if you think its in the wrong section.

And Xambone watch your language.

In PR the dirt, sandbags and radio are all the same structure so it doesn't really matter where you specifically place the Incendiary as long as its on or next to it, but that's more of a limitation than a feature.

Will do.

I think its good that you cannot throw them, otherwise you would have the problem of people throwing them over walls onto fobs etc, which would make building fobs in cities/towns pretty useless and annoying.

Well being able to throw it 1 meter would be nice, as you can drop crates through walls. IRL you can climb up on top of the truck. This, in my mind, would represent that.

I thought it was to stop FOB rape from people artfully bouncing Incendaries off walls into cache building windows. That got old fast.

I want to throw it again. There were not so many problems with vehicles. But now there are many with FOBs, Crates..
Mb it needs to be increased for 5-6 meters?
I remember my best throws =) daamn

T-Rex arms, bro.

Maybe the animation should be changed to one like when you plant a tripwire...and it would feel more realistic?

That's a good one.
