Thread: Grenades miss too much

Although they seem to hit ok in PVP, in PVE they miss an aweful lot imo. I just ran through a crate of glops and a crate of protons and I bet my accuracy was around 40% at best, maybe as low as 30%, often missing 3-5 times in a row. That wouldn't be so bad if not for the enormous delay, considerably longer than the FT specials I'd say(I use a 3.2 FT)



And the same could probably be said for just about all commando weapons. Something has to give, we need better accuracy or shorter delays on pretty much everything but the FT.

I use nades very often in pvp and npc, just for the fun of it,,if you aim before you throw and get in your ideal throw range youl hit almost everytime..

Sorry to hear it is a problem for you, but they've been working just fine for me. I haven't had to many misses honestly and I use them quite often.

i missed a lot with them even when at teh ideal range and kneeling. I couldn't justify the cost of grenades with how many hit. I had 5 gubbur clustered out of 3 nades not one gunnur was hit, but my bars had a good chunk out of them.

Speaking of ideal range, I think its screwed up that some of the nades have ideal ranges of like 10m and a radius of 6 meters. Ya basically gotta stand right on top of things to hit with the grenades. I use the ideal ranges all the time.



Is it my imagination or does aiming cause aggro?

fwiw, I was seeing these results as a master commando too. I gave it up today and may get it back soon but right now i can't see how the skill points are justified. The HAR is pretty worthless without a much larger range and in general all the weapons are only for use in close range WITH huge delays. The delay for grenades is even longer than my FT. That's too much time when I'm unable to heal myself so I'm going to start going pistoleer to give myself another alterative with better speed and no long delays.
