Increase Suppression Radius of Frag Grenades

[Nightingale]

I noticed recently in-game that there is hardly any suppression effect if a grenade blows up less than 10m away from you. Hell, a lot of times I am pushed 5m across the ground because a grenade exploded near me and I still experience hardly any suppression.

I think grenades should be much scarier to a soldier than it is currently portrayed in-game, so I suggest increasing the suppression radius to something like 20m, and making it last much longer if you are suppressed by a grenade explosion.

Thoughts?

20m seems a bit far, that's over 60 feet, from a hand grenade. I wouldn't mind if the radius was increased, to something like 12-16m, and IMO it should vary depending on how you are positioned. If you are prone and facing away from the blast, it should have significantly less effect than if you were standing and facing the blast, for example.

Ooooh yeah I like that idea.
What is the kill radius for the grenades in this game?

 

[Nightingale]

Actually, you are right 20m is too much. 10m is more reasonable given how gimped frags are in this game.

Dibbler's mutator nailed the effect that grenades should have.

Agreed, in Dibblers mod shrapnel makes grenades far scarier and deadly.

there is a significant difference in german stick grenade and the russian "pineapple" design ( more shrapnel on the russki one )
