Of course, no locking function means they are effectively useless now (a lot of the time). Thats sort of the point of them 
I mean, as a shotgun user I would be quite happy with all Assault Rifles having no 'fire' function, if you get the simile. |

People seemed to manage before the locking function was put in, unless for some reason they aren't exploding without a lock. I mean the locking was only put in just last build, it's not like the AV grenades were totally worthless every other build before that. I personally haven't put SP into them yet, so I don't know how they're working right now. If they're not exploding, that's a problem, but if they're working like regular grenades, then just throw them at vehicles.
They don't explode without a lock - i.e. bounce off. They aren't regular grenades and are useless if they don't lock. |

I use the Packed AV so the throw radius is much smaller, have to be close to the vehicle for it to get a lock on. Maybe that helps?
Standard AV's with iirc a 6m lock radius. After the second last downtime they seem to be locking better, but still not perfect.
LAV's usually take hits, but dropships I haven't had the chance to test again. Maybe had 1 in 8 fail to lock an LAV when thrown inside the correct radius recently. |
