calisk galern KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 9	Posted - 2013.02.20 04:13:00 - [1] - Quote they don't home in, half the time I can bounce them off the hood of the vehicle without them exploding, so what's the point of them now? I get that players like to roll the infantry with tanks, but wouldn't it of been easier to just remove them from the game? I mean if they don't home in, why use them over standard grenades?

calisk galern KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 9	Posted - 2013.02.20 04:16:00 - [4] - Quote normal grenades can kill vehicles too, far easier to hit with as well.

I... can't tell if you're trolling or not. To be fair I have killed regular FREE jeeps with locus grenades but, but thats as far as they go for anything else its AV grenades or flux plus forge guns or swarms.

They seem to bounce around but still explode. Tanks still going boom. Ruined a Madrugar pilot's night.
SoTa PoP Internal Error. Negative-Feedback 1772	Posted - 2013.02.20 07:41:00 - [16] - Quote Oh - forgot to say I tested to see if AV nades home in - they do. Very well I might add 4 tank kills 3 games So there's been no hot-fix on it. Seems some people are just bugging out - must be server side.

Used AV nades for a good while tonight and they still homed in for me.
Sontie VENGEANCE FOR HIRE 95	Posted - 2013.02.20 10:23:00 - [19] - Quote check to make sure you got the right grenades equipped. I have never ever failed to have an AV grenade home in on a target and I roll with them ever match and have plenty of chances to use them (LAV equals free points).
Jack Boost Zarena Family 194	Posted - 2013.02.20 10:39:00 - [20] - Quote When you throw very closely at vehicle they just bounce and faling on grond doing 'boom'... but about half of dmg. Anoying when you are in 'tigh'situation. When you throw high or almost on target they homing. So problem is rather in 'time to arm'.

Stinker Butt Kang Lo Directorate Gallente Federation 103	Posted - 2013.02.20 11:03:00 - [22] - Quote Ex-11 av nades always seem to bounce off of vehicles more frequently than others. But nothing seems different to me so far.
Oxskull Duncarino Shadow Company HQ 162	Posted - 2013.02.20 11:13:00 - [23] - Quote I've had it happen a few times this build. Reboot the PS3 and AV grenades are back to zipping at vehicles like flies to a pile of....stuff It happened the last build a few times as well but, same as this build, I can't replicate it and it's very rare so I never started a thread on it.

Basically OP has admitted that he needs his 'homing' crutch to use AV grenades The 'homing' function is very useful to bad players, since bad players are usually in the wrong place the 'homing' fucntion makes up for this by 'homing' in on the vehicle meaning that it will be 100% hit everytime By turning off the 'homing' function we have noticed that less vehicles are being hit, this is due to bad players being in bad positions where the AV grenade will not hit the vehicle because they are too far away but if the 'homing' function was on it would have hit and thus bad players have not yet adjusted and will not for some time 'Homing' function is on = player has no grenade throwing skills 'Homing' function is off = player has grenade throwing skills
DrSheepbringer3 Darkstar Mercs 11	Posted - 2013.02.20 12:59:00 - [25] - Quote Also having similar problems. They have just been bouncing off the hoods and stuff. Yes, right nades too. I also get that other nade problem (can't shoot / use gun after throwing a nade). Overall I think the nades are rather buggy.

It says it in the description. Stop trolling its ********.
