LAW vs infantry

[CaptQ 0]

does anyone know how to use the grenade. i read the book but still i cant do it for the life of me. i can't throw accurately. So, i use my law launcher to take out the middle guy in a group. funny stuff but i rather save it for the tank. anyone an expert nade thrower ?

its just all about finding the happy medium with trajectory and velocity. i think running will make you throw it farther, if that helps. hand grenades have a very limited range. id only use hand thrown devices to take out someone around the corner or something. if you want to be able to take out a squad like in the middle of an open area or something, you may have more luck with a nade launcher.

Despite what some players say, hand grenades are one of the best weapons to clear unsecure areas. Yesterday I was playing Red Hammer, got ourselves into a forest and spotted 3-4 tents.. I threw 6 grenades and think I killed 3 enemies which I couldn´t see, then there was about 3 more, but they died without causing any more damage

Sometimes I throw grenades around corners, over steep hills, on houses when I think somebody is waiting inside e.t.c. You should always have at least one or two grenades with you, just in case.

When you get used to them, you´ll know how to throw them to hit the target.

I had a laugh with a grenade in Red Hammer, there was one unfriendly inside a building so I tried to throw the grenade through the window, it got through but exploded while going through killing me and him

Just practice which height will hit how far in the map editor and use math to estimate the rest.

I agree, grenades are one of the best weapons for clear areas. Throwing them does seem to help how far they will fly too. If you throw one at about a 45 degree angle, it will go 15 to 20 meters. I've taken out 8 guys before that we're walking in a column by tossing a grenade in the center of them. So by this, it must be possible to injure at least 10 that are in a formation.

Problem is that you can´t defend yourself for the timeperiod where you are employing grenades, that has been my fate very often in OFP.

Also grenades don´t bounce, the go off as soon as you hit anything, i often died because of this while standing close to a wall trying to throw grenades.

You have to expose yourself when you want to deliver an aimed throw of a grenade, there is no side leaning option like in Rogue Spear, and this is why you cant lob grenades around corners.

The Carl Gustav Launcher has explosive ammo (antipersonel/soft target) in real life. U could shoot one of these little suckers 800-1000 meters. Wouldnt it be cool to have that in the game (despite the fact that U can only see 600 meters in the game...)
