Not what I said. I was asking how the bloody hell you arm it midair. I don't know about you but mistakes can be made with explosives when you can barely hold the thing still and press buttons. just make them being jump throwable out or make it so they don't get extra range from it. its not a grenade. stop tossing them like they are is all I am getting at. for how cheap sp wise it is to spec in with a starter character. it shouldn't = instant win vs any infantry by tossing them. explosives also tend to be heavy and not very aerodynamic. the grenade is its shape and size for a reason.

I just want some good solid reasons they are not overpowered or a slight nerf not extreme not make them crippled. just bring them into balance somewhat with the rest of the gear. I mean really i can spec into them with my starting points and drop proto suits like tissue paper. this was the same reason the flaylock got nerfed.

I think you should be able to sprint then toss ending your sprint then you can run again.

That's how it works, you can't deploy any eq whilst sprinting, so working as intended as far as you're concerned then?

Congrats on posting on an alt so your main doesn't look stupid

Didn't a delay in arming time get put in place? That was the only adjustment they needed to be brought in line with Grenades. The timer on Grenades being a legacy from when combat fuses on them were not considered fair.

Long or short timed detonations doesn't mater as much as consistency across all thrown explosives.

The delay was increased but not enough. They are still effective as heavy grenades with minimal time to avoid.


Usually there's not enough time to run away. Killing the RE user is the best counter - if he's reachable, that is.

Sadly the increase in timer was not nearly enough.

REs still explode while in horizontal flight /glide (doable with scouts).
As long as that is true they double as grenades. Needs fixing.

I can see why people like the damage. but the running, jumping, then throwing them like they can be is kinda well stupid. how do you arm it mid air? Its like a grenade+10. it doesn't need cooked. it blows up bigger and it kills anything besides vehicles. I know there are some flame wars about this topic. but I think it should not be usable mid air or during a sprint. I think you should be able to sprint then toss ending your sprint then you can run again. I mean have you tried to hit buttons on a tablet while running. good luck not blowing yourself up with explosives. leave the damage alone. if i stand on it i deserve to die. but. I shouldn't have it tossed by the airborne scout into my area from around the corner pretty much. its what the grenade was meant to do. plus this thing does more then a AV grenade and actually works on infantry as it is now. its wonderful as a trap. just make it not be a grenade+10. my opinion for fixing it might not be 100% right but I just want a chance to not have it spammed by every scout in some matches. i mean when its just tossed over and over from all angles its like how the flaylock battles went down. at least the videos i saw. if one person didn't mess you up his buddy right behind him did. if just not allowing them to be jump tossed would fix it. then let them do drivebys i just want them not to be the go to grenade in matches with anyone in a proto suit. because the other weapons each level makes you more dangerous if your good. the RE with just one point in. is as dangerous if not more so then a full proto suit loadout. that just doesn't seem right.
