Axis Grenadier

[HuskerGI]

Please audit the axis grenadier and the ability of them shooting point blank, at their feet, close range to kill/clear bunkers, cps, or simply kill approaching allied inf (no really, I mean AT their feet) and kill allied inf without killing themselves.

I cannot throw a grenade and stand on it without dieing.

I cannot place a satchel and stand on it without dieing.

I cannot shoot an allied grenadier and be close to it when it goes off.......without dieing.

I strongly suggest you fix this issue as it widely has become more of a problem as of late. Yes, they know they can survive it.....and they exploit it A LOT.

Thank you for your TIMELY repair of this unit.

Agree I have encounter a decent number of this cases , the game only gets better by balance and fairness.

Btw in terms of throwing a nade near you, if you are prone you can survive sometimes the problem is that axis can survive while standing :X

[HuskerGI]

we don't have to be perfectly balanced but after an hour of play last night I was at a boiling point. There is a difference between balanced and fair. Last night and the exploiting of this feature was not fair.....

....and in turn then was not fun. I logged early on our squad night so I didn't ruin anyone elses try at having fun. Though, there was several of us on the last plank of patience bridge.

[HuskerGI]

tested tonight both on and offline.

I do not die but suffer slight shaking of the screen when I do it "right"....... and the aim is basically at the feet while running.

If I find more I will post it up.

Rat Check?

[matamor]

I do agree with huskergi here.

This is just my opinion. The Axis term first of all irritates me. The Italians,Austrians,Spanish, Japanese ,and so forth, are not in this operation. Axis implies a cobeligerant force which we are obviously not. But i digress. The Grenadiers grenades couldnt stir my coffe that I have at breakfast. But he makes a beautiful smoke display outlining the ei that should have been blown to bits.

I tried it on 1.33 (mac) firing at the lowest angle down at the ground and seemed to barely survive each time. Tried it on 1.34 (mac) and died every time. I did fix a bug with that weapon so maybe it is fixed. Once we actually have a working 1.34 beta please try it out. The bug wasn't this but maybe it fixed it as a side effect.

[HuskerGI]

Ahwulf thanks for reporting on the axis equipment issue I have witness and tested. Hopefully this small issue is resolved so game enjoyment can continue.

I was in cp building second floor.

looking out the window with my grenedier

now the rifle was out the window(appeared to be) but still HIT the window sill when i shot.

now this was point blank cause i was right on wondow.

took a little damage thats it.

now i was mad that my gren didnt shoot OUT the window because my gun surely looked like it was out the window, but at the same time I shoulda Died a horrible death from the thing blowing up at literally the tip of my gun.

I've never been able to throw grenades or shoot RGs out of windows with any persona, axis or allied. It always seems to stick to the window ledge, so i don't do it any more. Which is a shame, because it would be useful.

1.34.0.30

Test 1

• spawn DE Grenadier
  
• 'b' attach cup
  
• 'r' load RG
  
• point down
  
• fire
  
• die with full ATP loss (concussive) and health drain (shrapnel based bleed out)
  
• repeat 4 times to same effect
  

If you're doing something different then let me know. I can try it in 1.33 if needed but it's kinda moot.

[HuskerGI]

Sounds great. Thanks for doing some testing to comfirm the issue is gone.

How are things proceeding with the updates ahead? When we having a update/Rat party/pulled pork bbq???

S!

[GOPHUR]

Man we're cranking through it. Trying to get this RA stuff for China wrapped up. Still have a few features to get done for Campaign as well. Hoping for the end of the month to have an open test.

Yeah Yeah Yeah......the update thing.

BUT, when are we having a big RAT Pork/Beef BBQ and drink fest?!?!?!??? I mean a big party?

LOL

I joke, glad to hear you guys are getting closer to getting it done and maybe taking a break from HARD NOSE work and just slow down a bit and deal with small tweaks later.

S!
