lol @ anyone using nade. Don't they know RE's do it better?

They don't necessarily compare.

A Grenade gives you the ability to cook and launch the weapon at will, along with the luxury of homing capabilities (in terms of AV Grenades). Not to mention, that the distance a Grenade can be thrown is far greater than the distance that the Remote Explosive can be launched.

It should also be mentioned that using a Remote Explosives requires you to sneak up on a target, while the Grenade can be used from cover. Personally, I'd choose an M1 over an F/45 when fighting Infantry.

When the best counter to a Heavy is an RE, and every other merc is a Heavy ...

You don't see the Navy Seals throwing C4 while training do you? There is a reason they have grenades.

*A Wild Navy Seal appears, pitches C4 like a foot ball....

True Adamance: "Oh......well....... um...."

Umm.. She is.

She runs other suits, but she's an Amarr Sentinel who likes to run with an Assault Forge Gun.

This makes me excited. Matari melee weapons, mmmmmmmmmm

I have 3 favorite RE methods

-Bait, Lure, and Trap
-Bombadier (from elevation of course)
-Smoke Detectors (where you stick it on the ceiling where they'll never see it)

Secondly wouldn't you expect it to out perform nades when they do more damage and cost more PG/CPU? Nades are nickles and dimes and they get the boom you paid for. Hands down nades are more maneuverable than RE's, but less boom. RE's used to be way worse remember? We need a little throw animation because it's finicky as hell when you're dealing with a moving tank.

I'm not super opposed to longer activation because then you can't just throw and 'nate, you gotta scheme and I'm all about the scheme. But I will oppose removing of the throw because you need the throw to get it in the creative places;

1. Under the railing
2. On the ceiling above the door
3. on the tank
4. On the ladder
5. on the top of the box that's near head level
6. on the underbelly of a dropship (no joke I have done this with a friendly DS)
7. So I can jump throw to get it over the side of a railing, down and onto the walkway below that I watch

i would like to note that before they could throw this c4 in this bad situation they would still have to prime it with detonators..im my exp seals dont carry around bricks of c4 pre primed for throwing...it was mentioned that throwing may be necessary for tact and i think activation timers is a completely bullshit and unrealistic power check.
maybe if they had an animation where you applied detonators and then threw them...even locus grenades in dust still have a pin function...if re's must be thrown they should have to be primed first. so throwing them goes from an instantaneous action to a slightly longer one..

but none of this matters ccp is giving them activation timers and its gunna take seconds for a re detonate signal to travel 20m thousands of years in the future (makes sense....no....no it doesnt)


ps i was gunna post this response in quoting the guy who replied after you bojo but his rage did not warrant anything other than this snide non re related ps.
