It's cheap as hell and just as effective as a normal grenade in some ways and better in others. It does plenty of instant damage and does lasting flame damage. The important thing here is that a volks that throws a flame nade has an area denial effect for quite a long time, long enough to burn up an mg. If a rifle squad throws a nade and then gets pinned, the nade either kills the mg or the rifles have to run. If a volks throws a flame nade, the mg MUST pack up.
Okay I get it, its for the brits. This thing should really then be like the anti building grenade from vCoH. Either make it unable to target anything but buildings or make it do only a little damage to normal units but have a nice multiplier against buildings. Or perhaps turn it into something like a satchel--little range.
But for the love of god why is it left as is???
Volks flame nade--why is this still a thing?

I bought vCoH on January 3rd, 2007.
Still missing the days of vCoH 1.71. It had it's issues, like paks sniping 57s, and the strafe didn't work, but overall, it was probably the most balanced time in CoH history.
OF ruined that. CoH 2 is....balanced in a nasty way. Everyone has an equal stockpile of gamebreaking bullshit. USA is full of early game BS while the OKW doesn't get its BS until late game. It's just a question of how badly you exploit the faction's shit and how quickly, after a patch, you discover the gaping holes of bullshit Relic leaves. But either way, it's all BS. The only "BS" in vCoH that was gamechanging was the fast m8 vs a bunker.

Literally the exact same 30 munition cost, I'm afraid.

I mean, it's bullshit that they don't have to pay fuel for it like every other faction (or fuel for anything for that matter) but the grenade is pretty much fine as-is.

It still requires an HQ to be deployed on the field...
but that's practically a given.

Hey mate, just get your squad out of the way. If it's as effective as a normal grenade then good because it's the same cost as one. Don't worry. Nothing's wrong.

It's pretty okay for cost and faction placement. It clears weapon crews but does not kill them unless the allied player is asleep.
It will be even more balanced with the next patch (ability range reduction for suppressed squads means no more YOLO flamenades into a Vickers' face)

Isn't it a 40 muni nade? I am not sure, I thought it was 40 not 30.

bcs they dont care and sometimes dont have what is needed to fix important issues. If there is small issue with mines then they remove mines from the game. Devs etc are fired now there are random people doing support.
