Add Molotov Cocktail? (Merged)

[RedGuardist]

Finnish soldiers in winter war 1941 made molotovs. They even have factorys what do molotovs.

Ups. Winter war was seriously over by 1941. It was the summer sequal going on then.

Oh. And that molotov factory thing. Yes, Molotov coctails are still our major exports, many factories producing them. It`s a shame that people tend to do their own bootlegs in conflicts around world. Bad for our economy.

Just remember that if you light it you HAVE to throw it, cant be putting it away. With as much heat as it generates, its still not an effective way to warm yourself in the Soviet Winter. LOL!

 

[Jaesperson]

just like grenades. if you pull the pin, you have to throw it! whats the problem?

 

[popbob]

I think Molotov Cocktails of one fashion or other have been around since ancient Roman and Greek times haven't they?
If we have smoke grenades it'd be pretty cool to have Molotovs for a map or 2.
I'm for it.

Monkeyman

You're thinking of greek fire

Anyway, they should be put in. They were used extensively by both sides in WW2 and shouldn't be ignored.

 

[DudeWheresMyTank]

i'd rather have molotovs diabling tank engines and asphyxiating the crew than those lame satchels we have now magically destroyting tanks

 

[M_W]

considering the devs wont add flamethrowers either, i guess they just dont want to do a half decent job because modeling cool flames effectively in UT 2.5 is a PITA

Flames are NEVER modelled they have no geometry at all....they are done with the particle system...that looks to work cool according to artillery strikes.

 

[Gambinobross]

Lool i read it now ... adding me ??

aka Molotov_Cocktail[TT]

 

[Maus]

I doubt molotov cocktails and flamethrowers as of now could be practically and realistically modelled.

 

[Letum]

I dun thnk molotovs are such a good idea its more of a "Gangster" weapon imo.

Totally wrong!
Germans, Finnish and Russians all had professional Molotov factories. Molotov where as professional as grenades or rifles.

I dont know why but just thinking about a molotov coctail russian mafia comes in to mind

 

[MistaCreepy]

Molotov cocktails are probably the most dangerous thing someone could make with less than 3 bucks.

Check this movie clip out... its from the movie "Stalingrad" (A GREAT FLICK) It features german infantry using many different anti tank weapons, including molotov cocktails.

(It is a movie... but it is graphic... just letting you know.)

Most disturbing scene is where that T-34 corkscrews on foxhole.

What about the molotov coktail?

What about the molotov coktail?

Well, i didnt see any thread suggesting that weapon, the molotov cocktail (in spanish is "coctel molotov", i dont know how to say in english). I mean a bottle full of gasoline or similar, and throw with a firing rag...It was used by russian army.

It could be used againt tanks (mostly) or infantery. Against tank it could harm a little the crew or if used against front zone, blind driver..i think it could be a good complement to a rifleman equipment.

Only a suggestion.

 

[Wolfsglen]

Merged a few threads about Molotovs.

 

[Fuhrer Cool]

I support adding molotovs to RO!

A few pics from Saving Private Ryan. Imagine this in RO for immersion! Just replace the Marder with an SU-76 and the American paratroopers with German tank hunters/whatever class gets molotovs!(Graphic):

this is a at guide for german soldiers

on side(seitennummer) 14 and 20 you see instructions for "brandbomben" against tanks

 

[The Masta]

That

 

[Arschkinderegg]

Molotov coctail was derisively named after Soviet Foreign Minister Viacheslav Molotov by the Finns during the Winter War. I dont know how much russians or germans used molotovs but it was invented in Finland. And i dont see that it would be necessary to add ro.

 

[Johannes]

Molotiv Cocktails were mostly used by the Russians in the World War II. And most of the times, they were used on SdKfz's and other types of Half-Tracks, or unarmored vehicles.

I don't think the damage model in RO is complex enough to handle molotov cocktails. They weren't wonder weapons that would instantly destroy any tank they came into contact with. There was very narrow window in which they could actually destroy a tank. They were mostly a psychological weapon used to scare the crew out (and psychology is irrelevant in the instant resurrection world of RO).
