Not sure, since rxd had edited splash, and was the only server i played (Aow), but if the grenade hits the body it's additional warhead damage + explosion. Flamer kills very effectively, if you can take cover and wait for the enemy to burn that is. But it would pick a grenadier tho.

If one knows hwo to use the 'nade launcher than it should win 99% of the time as it out-ranges and out-damages the flamethrower by miles.

Both weapons can be used against vehicles- the grenade launcher is slightly better at this simply because it isn't limited to face-fucking range and the poor schmuck using it is less likely to get turned into fender ketchup. Grenades also have an edge against structures, as the guy with the launcher doesn't actually need to be in or next to the building to attack it (Refinery overloook on Volcano, for example). I'm not sure which weapon kills the MCT faster, but as they're both free infantry classes you need more than one to do the job effectively anyway. The flamethrower is somewhat better against infantry in close-quarters, as the grenade launcher is not terribly accurate against bunny-hopping Noddies... if you can't score hits with a flamethrower, on the other hand, you shouldn't be playing shooters.

Both are primarily used to kill the harvester (the grenadier is slightly better at doing so because he doesn't have to stand in the tiberium to be effective) or rush before anybody can really afford the classes they want to buy... or as a stand-in for the antivehicle classes if the Barracks/HoN is down. The two soldiers are generally used to fill the same role even though they really aren't meant to do so, and which one is better is therefore entirely situational.


"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

The grenade launcher is just far superior to the flame thrower for all uses it can have... Well, in my opinion at least Wink.

You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Just because he's from Canada does not mean his first language is English. For example, French-Canadian and of course just people that have immigrated.

Should i rip you for your poor English skills?

I really don't think that a player who believes the Light Tank is shit, should have any opinion in any Game balance/tactic related discussion. At least not one expected to be acknowledged and agreed with. Rocked Over /polite flame

The "blinding flamethrower" works great on some players. Many people who still play Renegade do so, because their PC is shit, and the Flamethrower is actually a wonderful lagtastic weapon.
But, it is also true, that even though it can be annoying that you have a face full of flames, its not much harder to kill that spraying nub. ^_^

I don't believe that being an immigrant is an excuse to have poor grammar in the primary language of the country you chose to immigrate to, but of course it takes time to learn it. I actually think it is great when people native to the language try and help out the person that made the mistake, and the person who made the mistake should not take offense from it. (I certainly didn't, I appreciated it)

but yeah back on topic, 'Nade launcher > your mom XD

Actually LT only works pr0 in open terrain. In closer fights most of time you'll hit lt. It suck against buildings, you need 6 shots to take whole one block, while 4 block with med and 2,5 with stank/arty.
