I guess you missed the entire thread on how it's OP and the most feasible ways to fix it either involve new models for a grenade launcher (which we don't have) or things that just make the unit make even less sense (on top of the already ludicrous states of the old gren being a troop trained exclusively in the use of hand grenades and nothing else in the 1950's, and being able to throw them accurately at 150 metres.) Expand We should do a poll, maybe it was just those who thought it was OP were extra vocal. Ridiculous unit? Yes. OP? maybe a little. Strategic and fun to use? YES! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Pushwall has done the right thing, the game has been more enjoyable when playing the Allies now because our defenses and sometimes buildings aren't being wiped by a squad of grenadiers that are impossible to locate unless you already know the good spots to use the unit from. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChopBam Posted May 25, 2017 Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 I noticed the stealth texture is overlaid onto the shader. This wasn't the case last time and I think it takes away from the niceness of the shader by itself. Can that be done again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeP47 Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 This has probably been asked before, but is there a way to make that shader optional, or does having different versions unbalance things too much?

Expand If an artillery round or rocket explodes near you, you're probably gonna be a bit disoriented if not outright concussed (if you even survive, that is) so it makes sense in-game.
