As a(n) AV grenade due to the limited nature of the throw.
Unless one, happens to get on top of or jump on an enemy vehicle and the driver of said vehicle does nothing more than continue on a straight line.
The range on this AV grenade is about 5 to 10 meters max, it acts a lot like remote explosives....except that RE can be thrown farther.
It is supposed to be the Assault Classes defense against vehicles, but as stated you can't even get near enough to a vehicle unless is un-manned in order to use it. You can not even throw it high enough to get it on to one of the cargo containers that surround C in Skirmish, it will not clear the small hill when spawning at B, and doesn't make it past the building on the left when spawning at A., so if you try to use it against a drop ship prepare to lose.
At the same time, 1.3 mil SP needed to even bother checking to see what the level 3 Wikorymi grenades does.
I also have heard, read the rumors that the grenades might be getting a adjustment in the next build. But failed to read anything about the nature of the throw distance associated with the bigger grenades. |

So l wasnt imagining things...l felt like ld gone from an Olympian Hammer Thrower to someones 90 year old grandma.
I switched back to the old trusty Sleek Av after a few games of "gimpy arm throw". |

I'd like to see some type of SOCOM style rainbow aim assist when throwing grenades so I have more control over where they're going.

Yeah, I to had to switch back to the Sleek AV type as well, but that only really works against Infantry and Militia vehicles, it doesn't even have enough power to drop the shields on a stronger vehicle, leading to more and more curbstomps and the reason why I thought the better grenades would do better against the better vehicles.
I also don't know what this means for the missing grenade explosion animation, as the description states that it has some sort of pattern to it to make it more effective against vehicles. |

I use the AUR hollow ones. Just need the level 1 in grenadier.
2300 damage and you can throw them pretty damn far.
