No disadvantage ? What about minimum range ? Grens are designed to be long range fighters, rifle nade is designed to be a long range nade. If you stay in grens optimal fighting range at all times, then the problem is not the nade. The nade by itself forces a lot of attention towards what each of your squads are doing, it wipes squads when they are heavily damaged, clumped a lot and are standing still (and somewhere between minimal and maximal range of the rnade). At times i would like to have a normal nade rather than the rifle one with my grens. So much for the no disadvantages, huh ?
Really??? You think Molotov is better than a rifle nade? I would pick any nade in exchange of loltov.
Sorry you just seem to play another game or in another league (i'm just around rank 600). And to explain, the riflenades are a problem since the last patch. Because of the cover system they get a really huge buff.
