Throwable knives for all factions

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

a bit of context

so… let’s avoid to even mention the whole fiasco of the april fool event.

however, it did had one interesting feature, and those were throwable weapons.

in the event, you are/were able to throw pistols, tomahawks and few others.

since i believe said feature is cool, and the only redeeming quality of that event, which i personally think it could benefit enlisted base game as well.

so, let’s begin with the suggestion.

Main Suggestion:

• Introduce throwable knives in the base game.

throwable knives will work in the grenade slot. and you will get 3 of them per soldier ( that has the knives equipped in the grenate slot ).

they will somewhat function ( for those who didn’t touched the april fool. which i cannot blaim ) like impact grenades. they will kill the single opponent who gets hit by said knives.

but, in order to not be op or stupidly easy to thow, you’ll first need to equip them, then hold them, to then throw them.

it’s not immediate as it sound.

not instant with a push of the button. i see how those could be too op.

it’s… very simple.

speaking of knives,

the germans could get the Nahkampfmesser

the italians could get the M39 Airborne Knife

japan could get the Harakiri Knife

the soviets could get the NR-40

The americans could get the Ka-bar

The british could get the Fairbairn skyes knives ( which are already in the game )

P.S: i’m well aware that most of the knives above were not used as throwing knives.
but the arguments pretty much goes out of the window when it comes to historical authenticity so… i’m not sure how few knives being thrown would be much different or worse than X or Y

Why would you need throwing knives?

well… in all honesty. seems a bit a waste to let said feature go to waste.
sure the event was a flaw in every major way, but in my eyes, i see throwing knives having potential.

and with few models, we could get them inside the game.

they would be ideal for partisans or commando squads / anyone who has a silenced weapon.

a way to kill soldiers in a more stealth way.

but, if you don’t like them.
you can always not use them.

and that is all from me.

take care.

Tbh I’d rather not have some retarded tacticool elements like knife throwing. But it’s just my preference and this ultimately doesn’t matter.

Also, if we ever get throwing knifes I want this too:

i dont think it would inherently be broken, as the whole process would be still somewhat slow.

but, to each their own i suppose.

@VoyoMayPL

you know,

i was going to mod them

problem is…

it’s a bit weird that the soldier would throw a helmet while keeping it on his head.

meaning… that guy has 2 helmets ?

[VoyoMayPL]

If I can shoulder fire a 20kg 2cm AT canon, I can have 2 helmets

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

would be cool if such throwing helmet will also disappear on the person.

but you have a point.

Introduce throwable knives in the base game.

I don’t like the idea. I just don’t like the vibe of it. It feels completely out of place.

I’d prefer it not to be in the game.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

i mean…

talking about out of place,

• paras literally paradrops with heavy weapons

• you can pretty much build fortress type of defenses from a single hammer

• you can bring an entire army out of a rally or a truck

• artilleries in d-day for the allied? ( never knew they had rocket ships, or common artillery pieces on boats )

• luftwaffe in berlin? ( a bit of a stretch, but still valid )

• we literally use artillery pieces at 200 meters ( whizbang & 15cm halftrack )

• you can somehow increase your skin to be almost made of metal with a single perk
  &

• a mere 2mm of armor can somehow reduce all damage across the board with no movement penalties

• battles are fought for a single house of few meters where 100 of soldiers have to cramp up in there

• everyone can drive a bikes, planes, cars, tanks etc with no training, but for some reason an APC driver is entitled and needs his specifaction which no other soldier can use apcs.

• you can shoulder fire anti tank rifles, machinegun etc without dislocating the player shoulder

• you can use protos that are somehow better than entire streamlined and massed produced weapons

and i’m sure there are many more.

but we draw the line at throwing knives?

[Yamoto4299]

Throwing knives hardly ever stick in their target.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

they do quite well in the event though.

and that’s as far as we have to be concerned ( as for relayability )

but from the look of it, it appears we are against new ideas or innovation.

so i guess we’ll keep the stale things in this game with great apathy.

[Adamnpee]

It doesn’t matter how many nonsensical things are in the game. It’s never going to be a good advocacy for adding even more of them.

If it were up to me, I wouldn’t want it to be added into the game.

[gastanofrizzi]

Whu just don’t make all knife and axes throwable? With the left mouse button you can melee and with the right one throw, adding new item seems unnecessary, the throw would be just used as emergency measures after all

[Valkay]

soldiers dont throw their knives, sure it may look cool but such features are for joke games such as BFV or CoD. I would prefer better melee animations instead, even Heroes and Generals had better melee animations and that game was developed by money launderers.

[ErikaKalkbrenner]

this game is a joke

[Valkay]

and we are the clowns.

I do want this too … knives / axes / throwing stars for grenade slot. I’m here for it. Been wanting it since the moon event had some grenade slot throwing axes.

[Willcario]

I don’t think the average infantryman in the war would have the skill to accurately throw a knife

[GetOut0fMyWay]

+1 for the idea

[Adamnpee]

@VoyoMayPL

I can have 2 helmets

If I remember correctly, there’s torso Tunisia customization that let you to have second helmet (I am not speaking about premium paras).
