Grenade Discussion (Merged About 3000 Times)

Yes, soldiers did cook their nades, with a bit of seasoning...
Seriously though, they did.

Anyway, Brittish soldiers even modified their fuses (they burnt too long according to the guys using them)

 

[REZ]

Not enough in my opinion. Not anywhere near how many were really used.


oh, and punctuation is your friend .

 

[REZ]

More nades please.


Mortars too please.

No if you think about it people in RO uses alot more nades than would accualy be used just use some basic math. And it dosnt help that people know all the common camping spots and you respawn with more nades all the time

 

[stebbs]

check the history books, they were in plentiful supply and used often. The game strives for realism so they should be part of it. The search function can also come in handy for these topics, I think a few other may have brought this up before....well at least one or two, but I'm not sure

 

[REZ]

Please search out and read all of the other anti-nade threads, and you'll see plenty of examples of how many were used. I'll make it short for you..... it was A LOT.

I know about the other threads but I wanted to make a poll. I like polls

 

[stebbs]

the polls are handy, I agree. I did a quick search for this one just because he already did the math on it.

I just read some statistics that the Germans made 88.65 MILLION hand grenades during the war!!!!! During the most intense combat during August/September 1944, the army was using 198 grenades per minute. HOLY CRAP!!

This was from an earlier thread about limiting the amount of nades. just wanted to put it in there for perspective.

 

[Harry S. Truman]

MORE!

Seriously, two are plenty. Not to mention they are always lying all over the ground, just pick up more if you need them. I often do.

make a poll to see if people think you create to many poll's
I already can guess what the result will be

lol polls are better and easier to see peoples stances on issues instead of reading through 100 replys and trying to figure out what people think

 

[SiC-Disaster]

lol IMO nades only become a problem in maps with lots of chokepoints, wich RO hardly has, so the amount of nades are fine

 

[Rak]

No, it's just right. It's the system causing the nadespam.

 

[sumway]

the amount of standard nades is fine,

although it gets a bit annoying when u cant shoot because ur screen is shaking/bluring all over the place.....but i like this realism that tripwire have noted and implemented into the game

one thing that gets me.....should other classes be allowed smoke nades???

 

[Neuromante]

More nades please.


Mortars too please.

Oh, and nukes too!

Seriously though, let's say yes to both. Each soldier should have 4 hand-grenades. But then, to bring balance, raise "reinforcements" time to 2 minutes on every map, remove death messages on grenades and give them their real power. Now that would actually make me like TripWire's infantry maps.

 

[Marlon]

For historical accuracy's sake, snipers did carry grenades. I'm not really into German or Russian sniping history (I use the term 'sniper' in regards to the Russians very, very loosely) but British snipers carried two Mills bombs in the top pocket of their dennison smocks.

There's plenty of pics around of Germans with grenades stuffed in their belt and down their jackboots.

I think that there would be plenty of grenade throwing for the first few minutes of a firefight, and then they would become a bit more scarce. It'd be nice to see a little less of them, but it's fine the way it is.

 

[jtkalal]

Does anyone know why the op got banned if you dont know what op means its the guy that started this thread.

 

[Lucius]

I don't care about the number of grenades (they seem fine). I don't agree about the nade spam (logical and realistic enough). What I do care about enough to respond in this thread? Grenades being used as a primary weapon! This happens quite frequent.

Example:
Me and my trusted MN91/30 on Odessa suddenly face an enemy with an STG. We are both in the open. If the guy is any good, I have only one chance: fire first and kill. But even before I get a shot off, the guy switches to a grenade and throws it at my feet while zigzagging into cover. WTF!!

This happens waaay too often for it to have a simple explanation like 'out of ammo'.

 

[Solo4114]

I don't really see what the problem is with that. Is your complaint that he preferred the nade over the rifle? Or is your complaint that he threw it accurately while zigzagging and such? If it's the latter, I could see introducing some more free-aim with the nades when moving. That'd make sense. But if the issue is simply that the other guy chose to use his nade to take you out rather than engage in a rifle duel, I think you're just gonna have to resign yourself to that.

When you're on the run and the other guy's stationary, that's the smart thing to do. In the time it takes you to kneel down and pull up iron sights, you'll be dead. Look at it this way, though. If you manage to shoot him before he tosses the nade, it'll fall at his feet and probably kill any friendlies running by.

 

[Archeoptrix]

Play some of the maps where the riflemen don't get any grenades.

Tell me how fun it is...
