The problem is, since you never played something beside soviets you never learned how to dodge molotovs. Because it's exactly the same with the flame grenades. All team weapons have problems against DOT flame weapons. The problem is poor Boris runs into the flame soup instead of teleporting the maxim to the next guy.
It is not the same with incendiary grenades. The reaction time is much longer due to fast animation, bad visibility and longer range. This makes it almost impossible to dodge that grenade without losing significant amounts of health. Dodging molotovs is one of easiest micro actions in this game. Dodging incendiary grenades however, is in a different league.
