I just tried in practice it seems slower, I could be imagining it, hoping they rebalanced again.

They promised to fix it this week. Probably this evening or tomorrow IMO.

Absolutely. Joined a match, still saw tryhards spamming the grenade launcher. Might be because they want to test the impacts of the update but I guess, the issue rests the same:
9 man squad, 2 grenade launcher and 3 det packs, spamable right at the beginning where most bots are stuck in the first cap so one can farm 20-40 kills.

I tried it just now, The lethal radius has been reduced by about 50%. I guess it’s enough. Longlive keofox

They have been nerfed, reloading time and damage down, still better than pre buff. Big middle finger to all who decided to take that time to run double grenade launcher.
Cool. let them learn.
Either 2 launchers or 3 det packs. Not both.
Yes. But you can mix them. 4 soldiers double slot, 5 bag slot.
Thank god the spam is over. Too bad those weapons returned to being nearly absolutely useless again though.

Not bad now, where they should be imho
I think it’s very hard for the devs to find the right niche between it being too powerful to be a better universal loadout choice than a semi-auto rifle (which they should never become as people want a realistical experience and not some Quake III Arena) and being so weak that no one will ever consider spending silver and using them.
I would actually be fine with them being rather useless to the game. After spending some time with the new ones I feel they are still too powerful but IF the devs would want to go for another attempt of giving them a purpose I think rifle grenades should provide an additional situational option and only be very useful against dig in troops in known locations such as houses/bunkers/foxholes or against big groups if you have time to prepare the setup.
To fulfill this mission they need a noteworthy big explosion radius (like the one they had before the nerf) but with even less ammo, a longer setup time than they have now so that people won’t just attach and spam them right after spawn and preferably an extreme inaccuracy if fired on the move.
In reality rifle grenades often had a BIG recoil. So strong that some riflegrenades systems had to be aimed and fired from the hip, which required quite the experienced user to hit what you aimed for.
