m203 drop

Since ive seen videos of m203 training today on telivision and saw soldier could hit targets easily at 40/50 mtrs while just holding the weapon straight i think the way it is reflected in PR is not that realistic at all.
it should act more like a mini rocket in the first 40/50 mtrs and then begin to drop, say it if im tottaly wrong.

it would probaly make players use the grenadier more often too i think.

Aiming the grenade launcher will become easier in the next version.

The kit isnt used because of its lack of a scope not because the GL is hard to use (wich its not).

We just need range markings on the grenade launchers, so that anyone is capable of using the thing to some effect.

Using it well is a different story altogether, but this will at least ensure that the average, untrained grunt is capable of doing a bit of damage with the launcher.

The indirect fire that comes from the extreme arc is an asset to the weapon and I like that it takes skill to use.
If its made easier to aim then I fear it will be reduced in power or restricted, right now its powerful but seldom used to its full potential

I still don't get why shooting a 203 straight up makes it come back down and air burst 50m high before impacting the ground.

Good way to nade someone above you though

Poor mans FlaK battery ^^

Seriously though, I think it's good as it is, just needs a scope on the attached rifle.

Guys, the way it is now is unrealistic, it isn't a matter of whether or not people can aim it, it's a matter that it's unrealistic. Why do people allways pop into these threads and go "I can aim it just fine, it's fine". Seriously, it's getting old seeing every thread that suggests fixing something towards reality get people like that. Just because it can be used the way it is, does NOT mean it's working, so either contribute something USEFULL to the suggestion or just stay out of the thread.
