Fūrinkazan Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I have just played with the Marines and i noticed that the rate of fire of the M 32 grenade launcher is slower than before. From what i remember, Marines used to shoot a lot of grenades and now it seems they use less this weapon ( just like the m 203 grenade laucher on rifles). Am i wrong ? Did someone noticed that ? Last question, if it was modified is it more realistic ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last question, if it was modified is it more realistic ? I've noticed that it depends on the distance to the target. Closer target really get lit up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlefront.com Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I don't think the RoF was adjusted by v1.30 or v1.31, so I think there must be some sort of situational difference. Having said that, I do think sometime recently a change was made to reduce the use of grenade launchers in general. This doesn't affect RoF, though.

Fūrinkazan Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 Thanks to you both for the answer. If i remember well, the Marines used to shoot a lot of grenades and i was astonished because i did not see a lot of grenades flying on the target as usual. I tried area fire and i did 3 QB's with the same result on infantry and vehicles. I will try at shorter range. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homo ferricus Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 To piggy-back on this thread--does anyone know to what capacity the M32 is being fielded by the Marines today? I wouldn't expect it's in the numbers we see in CMSF (M32 for every team leader, 3 per squad). I've been wanting to investigate but haven't come across too much information about how and in what numbers it's being deployed today. Just curious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akd Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 This is the latest info I could find. http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/usmcs-new-m32s-hitting-the-field-02042/ Still not seeing them in pictures coming out of Afghanistan, so maybe still behind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny(FGM) Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (M32 for every team leader, 3 per squad). This depends on equipment quality, it can be 1-3 M32 per squad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
