Grenade Launcher

(1/9) > >>

tchristney:
I am wondering why the grenade launcher is so short ranged. Most modern GL's have at least 150 m range, with many over 300 m (both being effective range, not maximum range.) The GL in UFO:AI barely makes it past most modern launcher's minimum range. For example, you would think that PHALANX would get something at least as good as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milkor_MGL.

tobbe:
Imho the relativly small range is a major in game balancing factor...this way you have use some tactics...

BTAxis:
Seriously. We've been over this. The grenade launcher, as well as the other weapons, is not remotely close to reality when it comes to range. If it was, it'd cover the entire map. And where's the fun in that?

Surrealistik:
The fun that comes with owning most of the opposing force on the first turn is readily apparent I would think :P.

nemchenk:
But then, BTAxis, what is the point of it? Its range seems to be *just* longer than that of thrown grenade. Just get rid of it :P
