Satchel Charges

[PayasoIngles]

Ok I have only been playing for around 4 hrs or so, I have been sticking to rifleman while im getting the hang of things.
My SL died next to me while looking through a hole in a wall and dropped some satchel charges I picked it up and tried to launch it through the hole but it landed next to it so I ran around the corner and waited but came under fire so went back around the corner and the charge blew me up.........

Question being will satchel charges destroy brick wall? or are they just a big grenade?

Im stuck at work for 8 hrs so though I would ask here.

They destroy some scripted walls and most doors.

You'll regret it though, as satchels are known to be delicious bags of candy by friendlies and a deadly charge by the enemy, so it doesn't end well.

Satchels destroy mostly doors, tank traps, train cars, and barricades. If you're holding a satchel, some destructible objectives will glow, but not all. The one thing I've noticed is that you cannot throw a satchel through a window. They stick like glue to everything.

Which really sucks imo, satcheling a room was viable in ost, but now you can't throw satchels through windows or gaps

Good for taking out tanks aswell.

Satchel through the window is one of the single most powerful tactics you can use if you have one, the problem is that they have glue that apparently solidifies in mid air and stops its movements... the risk of having the equivalent of 7 simultaneous mortar blasts go off right in front of a cap zone your rushing is enough to stop me from trying.

Like others have pointed out-- they can blow up specific things on certain maps. They are excellent anti-tank weapons. Get up behind an enemy tank and throw one on the back rack. The charge will stay there and destroy the tank. I like to throw them over walls, while assaulting a position. You can't throw them very far, so, run like heck after you throw one. There are all types of creative things you can do with them. Throw them down from windows, if they fit, for example.

I have never managed to throw a satchel out of a window. They always seem to have an annoying habit of sticking to the window sill nomatter how i throw it.
