Those of you who have read what I’ve said in the past know that I have never once advocated for the nerfing of any weapon, vehicle, etc in this game.
So I don’t say this lightly when I state that if Darkflow does not do something about this horseshit, I will outright quit playing this game.
This is not fun. A few seconds after I would spawn and move my squad towards the objective, they would be completely fucked by a gl, over and over again.
I was killed at point blank range multiple times, and the user was somehow able to survive it.
They also used large grenade pouches, which was even more “fun”.
They would hop in a plane to drop 100 kg’s, and then start the cycle again.
So I am saying this, something I never thought I would.
Nerf the grenade launchers. Immediately.
Nerf their reload speed, their damage. I don’t give a shit.
Well it is fair that they are ,op’’ at least in something. Remember that its only way to make bolt action rifles even usefull at all (not including those with scope mount). And i think you just have encountered some pro or cheater. Aiming it on longer distances isnt so easy. Iam not seeing much of granade lunchears at all in battles so dont mind it.
its not hard to aim on long distance (i want to say that word “aim” cant be used when we speaking about noobtubes, AOE is TOOOOOOOO damn BIG). Noob tubes doesnt make bolt action rifles usefull, y run shot noobtube then switch to another character, when depleted ammo y go to another squad with noobtube. Game become unfun to play thats it.
First off your “problem” is of probably not having played ranked matches recently where always the most broken things come to shine.
And… it’s easy to humiliate with Rifle Grenades even on long distances and easily wipe squads, it’s like demo-packs splash wise. I get out on top score by far only using Bolt Action’s without any grenade launchers, so doing a far over the top over buff is just broken not more not less.
After all i highly doubt a effortless wipe meta of squads which hasn’t literally any counter is fun.
Yeah, well, I like that they can be effective now. Had fun with 3 squads of troopers.
When I otherwise would almost abandon all of them for MG / SMG / Semi Auto stuff…
Did not participate in ranked / event stuff though… I wanted to have fun. So please keep
these grenades deadly (maybe slower numbers or reload). To have a middle ground.
I agree they’re fun and in the average random match they’re not that of a big deal till some “abuser” appears to ruin the fun of everyone.
Before they where leaking a bit in their capability to clean out ppl behind some cover or in a building but now they blast whole squads away combined with getting more ammo (if you carry 2), fast reload, auto reload and when put on already loaded is far to much.
I would agree to load and reload them slower and by myself (as it was before) but before you could only damage with a direct hit, kind of. I like that there is some high explosive radius that has an effect.
And only 1 of them per soldier would be OK for me. The most fun is the HE filler.
And who’s still opposed to this now?
Try hiding behind debri, walls, bunkers, buildings, etc. carefully.
But then, I was always against nerfing anything and will be (I guess).
The problem is you can’t avoid effortless getting nuked away by it, the problem is that it is super easy to even wipe entire squads, you can’t avoid it by any playstyle. And “hiding” because you have to life in fear of abusive weapons sucks and i know for good how to use the battlefield for my advantage.
I saw once a guy just spamming grenade launchers from literally the other side of the map. Distance maybe 300-400m or whatever kind of measures they use. It was just so annoying. He was on top of a building with an infantry squad and double gun slot.
More damage? yes ok
comes in with already loaded gun? yes ok
faster reload speed? no thanks.
Or drop the damage per distance, I dont know. But the update is kind of weird to be honest.
Every single person who said: this is fine just not yet meet those pro-cancer players. I just meet one 4 man stack with 18 men rife grenade in Moscow. we, 4 man max out soviet, can’t even get out of the spawn point coz we didn’t have it. This is like magic, you can only fight back magic using magic ╮(╯▽╰)╭
