Grenade Launchers

[SgtFailure]

Sometimes it can be used as a mini-artillery, theres one time when i was a grenadier and theres enemies at around 350m away, so i just point the end of the aiming sights slightly above the marker and fired, i missed the first shot but my squad leader corrected me and i hit their position on the second shot. However, it still consist of alot of estimations and of course, practice..

Hm.. I'll try that some time
Maybe it could help because a Smoke grenade "Blinds" them then you can fire the actual round :P


And to everyone else, Thanks for your help, I'll see what I can do.

Better to have a markers-addicted SL to play grenadier, it makes the job way easier.

its 60 for me, and i thought that was for everyone else to?

Yeah, it's basically like a mini mortar. I found it very useful in skirmish maps.

What I have really big trouble with is to gauge the distance. Mostly I use the vield of view to gauge it (how close the fog is) but since its really different on every map I either use markers or just dont take the kit...


But when used correctly it's a blast, I once saved my SQD on fallujah from a RPG hit by nading the roof a few blocks away. That was one lucky shot.

My problem with the kit is that I can often do about as much damage simply using the ACOG

I find that alot of players that I talk to in my personal experience tend to under-rate the role of the grendier.

I was playing as Taliban on Operation Archer one day, so around three of us got in that bunker on the hill. I picked up the AK74 with GP25. There were what, two squads, or even an FOB in the castle. It was 500 m away. So I pointed my rifle up to a random angle, an estimate done, and fired an explosive round (I could rearm grenades any time; there was ammunition). It hit very close to the castle (I had the sniper verify). So I kept the angle and fired. In the end, we killed the squad. I kept the kit throughout the round.

So a little later, I was with another guy, defending a cache, and I see an automatic rifleman team sneak onto a cliff. In a few seconds they were firing away like hell. So I got below a ridge, went prone, and estimated a bit. I'd say i went 1 mark, and the guys were 75 m away, and I got a direct hit. Basically you just need really good estimation and practice.
