Terrapin Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 What is the max range of a Molotov? Shouldn't it be around the same distance as a grenade (i.e. 35 - 40 yards). Here's the deal. While playing as the Germans in a QB, I got hit with it at (conservatively) 100 yards from the nearest infantry. Is this a bug, or they use a slingshot or something?

Major Jerkov Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Could have been an ampulet.. err something like that, firing molotov like projectiles mortar style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 That might be a (slight) bug. I recall a couple weeks ago someone posting a picture of a molotov pitched high over a large building! Maybe it's those strapping Russian farmboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Petersson Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I seem to recall that realistic effective range, hand thrown against AFVs, were less than 20m. 10m was about optimum engagement range. In CMBB my AT-teams seem to prefer hurling their Molotovs at 40m (or more), missing the intended target. Cheers Olle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molotov, over open terrain, flew about a hundred meters. Reached a height of about 2/3 of that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerxes Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 I saw the sky high moltov throw when I was testing a scenario. The bottle must have flown 100m into the air and about 100m horizontally. Too bad the target was only 30m away. Heh. Lay off the wheaties buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Måkjager Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 Where any of these squads up on a small hill by any chance? I have a squad which has just thrown one of them sky hi bottles and was wondering if it was due to them being on a small hill. The Molotov landed about a 100m away too..must have been a bad bottle of Vodka best Måkjager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
