Add Molotov Cocktail? (Merged)
- Thread starter HSCN-II-gd1944
- Start date
Probably more likely they'll add anti-tank grenades instead, since then you don't have to worry about modelling flames, lighting, flame effects after impact, etc.

I think the russians were well-armed enough to not resort to molotov cocktails as a regular weapon against panzers LOL

But the Wehrmacht called them "Brandflasche" and gave it out to soldiers. The good thing over Molotov-Cocktails is, that one single hit can disable a tank, when the burning gasoline gets into the engine.

Yes, I would like to see "molotov cocktail" in RO. It was an effective and low-cost weapon for infantry, especially when other AT weapons were not available

And as richard b said, "Brandflasche" should be issued to germans too if it ever was added to the game. There was nothing exclusivly Russian about fillinf a bottle with a flammable liquid, adding a wick lighting it.... well u know how it works hehe
But peeps think that it makes sense for ruskies to have em

Molotov cocktails were actually viable, and complicated weapons issued to (mostly Russian) troops. Germans made them themselves in the field, but Russian vodka/drink factories started producing Molotov cocktails in specially modified bottles (no open neck or cap) with a complicated automatic lighter system that would light the whole thing up if the bottle broke.
They consisted of a complicated and exact mix of certain chemicals and the factories that produced them didn't even have to go through any major constructions of overhauls to be able to produce molotovs.

Mappers could just place some boxes with molotov cocktails in houses etc etc.
The Finns also used them against russian tanks.

WTF? Let me say that again:Yes but not to warrant it being an optional weapon for RO
It was a common weapon.
If we have PPD40s, MP41s, and people begging for FG42s, I think the Molotov Cocktail has earned a spot.

Yeah, I'm all for it. Especially chucking one from a balcony onto the open top of that Russian Assault gun.

The problem with molotov cocktails used in RO:O is: when there would be bushes or grass, and you would throw a molotov on it, it would have to start burning.
maybe it would be easy to do with some bushes and a bit grass, but imagine a village build of wood, you throw a molotov, and 5min later the whole village would have to be burning! Or large forrests!
Thats the problem!
But it would be really cool. Cut russian supply by burning down the village near russian spawnexit - bad, but exciting.

It doesn't have to be 100% realistic. Just throw the cocktail, let it burn for a minute or two, then the fire dies out.Richard_B. said:
To prevent spamming, they'd only be available like the Pfausts were when they were first available, in certain spawn points around the map.

Functionally might not be too different from the satchels, but would look pretty cool. I would presume you could throw them a lot further than satchels, but I would hope that they wouldn't be as accurate as the current 3.3 grenades (which I think could use less accuracy).
Plus it wouldn't destroy the entire tank, probably just burn out the engine, but may leave the turret functioning for a while (until the smoke gets too bad).
