The grenade launcher is ****** up

Guerra norte · 12-16-2006, 08:44 PM

NOTE: I posted this in the Feedback forum but it did not appear so I am posting it here now.

Ok, this is really starting to annoy me, on three different ocations after 0.4 I have expirienced TKing team members with the GL because it's "cone of fire" if you will, is totally retarded.

Tonight this happend again and the result was me TKing my SL pluss myself.
Let me describe exactly what happend.
I am playing on Ejod as USMC and we have been pushed all the way back to our main base, so naturaly we try to push incoming forces while crossing the desert.
I spawn on my SL which is in the middel of the desert behind a tiny hill of sand, at our 12 'o clock ca. 30-25 meters I discover there are some palms with enemy inf. firing on us, so I decide to try and hit them with GL.
To make sure (as always) nobody get's injured/killed I move ca. 3 meters to the left of my SL and prepare to fire.
Knowing how unpredictable the GL is I make sure that there is as atleast a 50 cm. clearing from my gun to the ground, so now I'm exposed from the knees and upwards, I aim, put it at somewhere around 90 degrees and fire, guess what happens?
The grenade does NOT travel the estimated distance and and hits somewhere around the enemy, instead there is a brief moment of silence where I do not have visual on the grenade flying through the air, BOOM! I hit and kill myself and my SL which again was 3 meters at my 3 'o clock.

This is really starting to frustrate me so I hope a fix for this will be added soon.

Yeah, I agree. I've always found grenade launchers accurate when prone. Just stop moving for a second or two before firing, and it'll go where you want. Any other stance though, and you don't have a chance of aiming

It does the same thing when prone too, and I always make a short pause before firing to make it settle.

Yeah, same happens to me. I always pause for a few seconds before firing, yet it still wants to go sideways now and then, resulting in massive TKs. Also, as far as distance goes, I noticed sometimes it just seems to plop outta the launcher and land a few feet in front of me, as if I purposely noob toobed myself.

I found that it drifts a LOT to the left. Not consistently. It happens enough in a situation where I KNOW i have properly aimed and for some reason the grenade goes way off to the left.

I just made another thread about this issue. I am surprised I am the first to report it.

As you can see, you are not the first to report it.
