The British Mills feels underwhelming to be honest in terms of damage, and I can't even see the difference with the 7% farther range bulletin.

Mills Bombs have 20 range so 7% is an increase of 1.4. You'd need a 25-50% range increase to make them useful. I'm still not sure why Relic made Mills Bombs a side upgrade.

There is no "homing"; it's purely an artefact of the way the game is presented. The game has determined that there was a hit; that's done and dusted, so there is no point talking about "driving out of range" or anything. The projectile is then drawn on the screen, taking a real-time path to hit its target. Because the flight time is not zero, and because the target may be moving, this path may appear curved.

I'm not sure but I think the motov range bulletin was more useful than this, I mean, I could see the range increase compared to this.

Maybe 10% would have been a tiny bit better.

Before the war spoils patch you could stack them for a 21% range increase (+4.2), which isn't as ineffective. Might that be why Molotov bulletins seemed more effective?

What are everyone's thoughts on infiltration grenades? Against squads on the ground they're alright, their damage isn't that high. Against buildings though they do way too much damage, one volley will destroy most wooden buildings in an instant.

Yeah the stacking, a thing of the past.

But I don't think I did stack them.

It's stupid, I know its a game so reality is suspended but come on, grenades create shrapnel not nukes, Grenades should do minimal damage to all buildings where mortars/fire/tank shells should do the most damage.

While we are at it, the following things should be fixed too:

Grenade throwing time
This concerns multiple grenades including the bundled panzergrenadier/stormtrooper Grenade, the USF anti tank rifle grenade, the panzerfusiliers anti tank grenade and the USF smoke rifle grenade.

It sometimes takes ages before the animation starts, for no good reason. You sometimes sit there for ages waiting for your squad to either throw a grenade or fire the anti tank rifle nade and missing an awesome opportunity for damage or even a wipe or a vehicle destruction.

Molotov
The throwing animation is simply too long, this is absurd and finally needs a change.
