I think grenadiers are too fast!

Ok i was playing on the SAW server earlier today and i was attacking a BE gren with a light tank i decided to rin him over and i was right in-front of him yet he managed to dodge me i don't know how.
Now i know this is in gameplay but i have a small suggestion:
Make the grenadier run slower because of the load he has to carry ie: on average rocket: full ammo mortar: full ammo, 5? mines and full ammo pistol.

 

You just don't know how to run over people correctly.
If infantry ran any slower, imagine how pain in the ass it would be walking around the map.

 

The whole point of being a grenadier is that you're far more agile than a tank, not faster, but more maneuverable.

If you take that away the grenadier becomes a very weak rocket turret.

 

Only grens man cuz' they have such a huge load did you actually read it?

 

I read it, but if realism is what you want then why not nerf the grenadier ammo, because I don't know many people who can carry eight mines, eight rockets, about 16 mortar shells, sixty four shotgun shells, a rocket launcher, and a pistol, do you?

 

lol, realism!
sucks (in Empires and in most games).

 

the problem right now is grenadiers are too weak. By late game, they are threatened with being obsolete... or were, before the 2.1 patch. There is no reason to nerf them, especially not with this speed nerf. Besides... if you had issues running people over in an LT... i don't think slowing their speed down is gonna help you.

 

With that much weight, you gain momentum, and after a couple seconds, you're barely running, and just keeping up with your weapons.

 

So you want grens to get compleatly mauled by tanks in range AND up close? Well then...

 

Speed upgrade ftw!

You didn't think of that huh? That he maybe had that one on.. + He might been sprinting?

Don't make people walk slower, it's just frustrating to walk long ways, increasing the time it would take = Jeeps für allez!

 

I always get ammo upgrade and then speed for fast deployment of minefields and last second dodging of boomtanks where I usually put a mortar in their rear or side armor.

 

if you cant drive over a grenadier dirft with handbrake so they cant forsee your movement

 

There is no handbrake for vehicles at the moment, and it's not known wether or not it will be added.

 

wtf i thought the space bar = handbrake oO

 

XD

Btw, I've noticed that everytime someone posts something here, we go over to offtopic things..

 

Why do I get the image of someone drifting in a heavy tank?

 

Slow the grenadier down to 1/4th of current speed and swap the pistol for a walking kain.

When a grenadier equips the mortar or rpg, he is completely stationary.

 

rofl
oh and it's cane

 

If he is slowed down I think it would be fair to give him nuklear mines and a laser painter for orbital bombardment :p.

 

ORBITAL ION CANON FTW!

Rofl at Dizzyone...I'll hit you with my stick!

Meleeing a tank should do massive damage and remove 5 plates of armor per hit.
