How to Aim with Grenadier

(HUN)Rud3bwoy · 01-02-2008, 03:19 PM

I dont know if everyone else know this, so I'll write it down.

If you know how to use the crosshairs on the grenade launcher, you can place dead-on shots up until 160m, not dead-on but close shots up until 320m.

Your crosshair looks like this:

When you are aiming make sure that the target is between the two vertical stripes. Also to be as precise as possible after stopped moving and started aiming wait for about 5 seconds or else the grenade will go slightly left or right from your target.

The horizontal stripes helps you to aim. Each level of horizontal stripes represent a certain distance. This means if you know the distance between you and your target (or if you can estimate accurately) then the target's feet or lower body has to be between the 2 vertical stripes and at the horizontal stripes of the right distance. You shouldnt aim for head or upper body, the best is if you aim for the ground right where your target stands.

The distances of the horizontal stripes are as following:

Each level of horizontal stripes are 10m away from each other.

This means if your target is lets say 50m away then the feet of your enemy, or the ground has to be here:

If your target is further away than 80m then all you have to do is integrate as much imaginary horizontal stripes as you have to. If your target is 90m away you add one more level of hor.stripes to the bottom of the 80m one:

This way you can place dead on shots up to 160m.

At 240m the grenade would land in a 20-30m radius of your target at 320m it can be up to 40m, but in this case aiming a little higher may sometimes help a bit.

Hope you find this useful

Good work they are some useful findings, but I say just practice with it and get a feel with the weapons. Each one I swear works slightly different as well, the M203 feels like it fires along a different trajectory to the others but maybe thats just me...

Nice job thanks. I have always had success with the grenade launcher but never really looked at the distances etc.

Nice guide. I love the grenadier and can put grenades on target even if I cant see it. Love to support my squad like a 1 man mortar team. The grenadier is quite hard to get used to but after you get the hang of it you can easily hit a enemy over 300m.

As far as I tried, the guide applies to all of the grenade launchers in PR.
Have fun!

Good job! The grenadier is one of the least used, and least correctly used, classes. To use the grenadier class it is important that you understand how to get a first shot kill on your target, which means understanding both how to estimate distance well, when you can effectively get your target, and aiming well enough to bring those two together. The OP contains some good facts, but the most helpful thing is to just go practice with the GL.
