Stay aware of your surroundings, you have no one to blame besides yourself if you get RE'd.
Viable tool for clearing the field of morons, working as intended.

You drop those then allmost at your own feet, its enough of a range to still plant them on vehicles if you get close enough and they would be used properly as a defensive tool rather then just run with a scout, jump and throw the thing at some 1. There are even instances where people could throw them over cover to kill the guy behind it. Reducing the throwing range on those is probs the best way to prevent them beeing missused. I have only actually seen a RE thrown an excessive distance by a Scout once. He threw it close to 20m. There may have been other occasions where this was done to me and I simply did not see it. I donGÇÖt count throwing REGÇÖs down stairs or off of buildings to be excessive. Only the Sprint/jump/throw which can toss the RE like a grenade seems excessive to me, but as I said, I have only actually seen that done once.
If they need to sprint and jump so they can throw the RE like a grenade, then I see no problem whatsoever.
Seriously, people act like REs can be thrown like baseballs.

Viable tool for clearing the field of morons, working as intended. No. OP's problem is that scouts are tossing the RE's at ridiculous distance. By the time you see the scout tossing an RE at you 20 meters away, you are already dead since the travel time is long enough for the delay to go off but not long enough for you to react. I would have supported your statement if OP was complaining about getting killed by an RE he didn't see. But scouts are using RE's as grenades. In a medium, if timed correctly, an RE can fly about to 10-17 meters. On a scout that's about 20-23 meters that an RE can be tossed. With a higher splash radious and damage, who needs grenades? Delay time works about the same as a grenade. All the RE's need is a throwing distance adjustment. RE's are a defensive tool. Not offensive. And certainly never meant for jihaading
If they need to sprint and jump and then toss the RE while in the air, I see nothing wrong with the mechanic as it stands.
I stand by my previous statement.
Fake Edit: Don't want jihad jeeps? Lobby CCP to buff AV to where it can kill HAVs in a single magazine or less, otherwise suck it up and deal with the monster that HAVs themselves created.

No. That's what grenades are for. And I just don't want to be paranoice when I hear an LAV in the distance while I'm in my Missile Tank anymore ;-;
So you're saying we should need to sprint, jump and toss our grenades while in midair to throw them farther than shotgun range?
/facepalm
Also, if you choose to run an HAV, you choose to be paranoid, as a matter of fact, I'll bring back my jihad jeep prep fit (sevr logo bpo with all three varieties of REs) just in case I see you on the other team.
