Nobody is talking about removing rifle grenades. We're discussing how to make them balanced.

The suggestions are:

1. Prevent them from being fired while suppressed.
2. Reduce range and/or accuracy of rifle grenades if the unit firing them is suppressed.


Fair enough but it should also apply to the molotovs then. in fact it should apply to all grenades.

I don't agree.

No other grenade has the massive range of rifle grenades which makes them a much more potent counter to MGs than any other grenade.

Rifle nade AoE was buffed. Molotov wasn't changed.
And anyway rifle nade still be better than molotov.
For current stats of them both their cost should be 10 and 35.

I would be glad to see riflenades removed if the Maxim would have less than 6 squad members and not change positions so quickly. The riflenade is to compensate for the larger Soviet Squad sizes which the squad can quickly retreat once it's riflenaded.

The same can be said for the mg42 once they get moltoved it's wise to retreat otherwise rng will do it's job. The effectiveness of grenades into Machinegun removal depends on your luck. In a riflenade to maxim situation the effectiveness of the grenade depends on whether or not the other squad members bunch up. Squad members bunching up cannot be controlled the player therefore it requires a bit of luck for the German player to kill most of the mg crew. As for Moltovs and MG42, this relys on rng because sometimes 3 full hp squad members just get wiped instantly or they take little to no damage at all.


The chance of 3 squad members been wiped instantly is near 0. Rnades always wipe models and still hurt the other ones alot so that another nade or small arms will see them off.

The maxim has quick setup since its arc is so small.

Not sure but with the range increase on vet can the Rnade out range the maxim?

What's the difference you can still rifle nade a Maxim even if suppressed.

Riflenade aoe wasnt buffed. it is now simply easy to see where the grenade will land and how many men will be affected by it, and the rest is nonsense, molotovs excel at cc rifles at long range that doesnt make the other better or worse, In fact comparing them is retarded.

You continually dare to compare the maxim to the mg42. stop doing that because every single issue you posted so far is not valid. the riflenade is balanced and you need to give better reasons why the riflenade is not aloud to counter the maxim.

Because a molotov does not counter the mg42 in the same way. Can you post your player card please.

yeah Neo. how dare you compare maxim and mg 42 together? they are both HMG weapons teams, they are both supposed to counter infantry units... how dare you.

Haha, exactly.

If in game version A the ability have a chance to miss and in game version B the same ability no longer can miss and will hit 100% of the time then its by a definition called a buff.

This is exactly what happened to rifle nade and every other nade, they were buffed.
Simple concept really, but I can see how you might have problems grasping at it.

Oh and they both have one role in common-countering HMGs, yet one greatly excels over the other that its not even funny. Obviously you will deny everything, as long as its the german counterpart that excels, which it is, because it grants instant effect after which HMG will die or have to return to base, without taking any losses or risks as opposed to molotoving cons.

i am trolling. you however have no clue how to balance this game. suffice to say you need to come up with better arguments why the riflenade should cease to be a counter to the maxims except that maxims should not be countered from the front while conveniently forgetting that the maxim in the hands of person with a tiny bit of micro you always be facing it from the front.

On a larger view of things .You empower the maxim to point that maxim spam become completely viable again and completely wreck the early game balance.

What game are you playing? Early game balance is already ruined with pio/agren spam.

He means early game balance would be ruined for him personally. God forbid he be punished for running into a MG.

I don't even understand how the most ardent fanboys would be in favour of such obvious disbalance. Do they not get bored of spamming the same units over and over for easy wins?

even if rifle-nade had molotov range, you'll still be able to rifle-nade maxim from within its cone of fire unless you were running through red cover or got engaged as soon as the grenadiers stepped into the range of maxim. which is the same case for con trying to molotov mg42 from within mg42's cone of fire. however, in these cases, both mg42 and maxim will have time to re-position after 2-3 burst to avoid rifle-nade/molotov for seeing a suppressed unit keep diving deeper into the cone of fire clearly shows the player's intention.

but right now, unless maxim re-position as soon as they see grens, it is going to get rifle-naded which defeats the purpose of maxim.

this argument?... 'a decent player will not get himself flanked... a player with a little skill will know how to flank... etc... etc..'

gren in the hands of person with a tiny bit of micro will be able to one-on-one maxim without needing to retreat gren after the engagement.

You say its an imbalance but i dont agree with. and you give no argument why this is an imbalance safe for that you should not engage maxims from the front forgetting the maxim is not the mg42 and should not behave like the mg42. also you do not understand the long term affects of your balance suggestion. This is one of the worst balance suggestions i have ever seen. no reasons or facts behind the change, no long term balance oversight and heavily tainted by bias. You really need stop doing this neo.

I dont deal with 1 wrong makes another wrong right kind of balance
