There's a problem with using grenades at melee range?

Context? What problem?

Context is the post above mine

It's a joke

The only people ive killed with smoke nades have been friendlies

Smoke launcher + flare launcher does a lot of damage, I'm pretty sure it's over 1000 but I haven't checked. Maybe I just get lucky and the people I've done that to were already hurt.

I shoot smoke launcher vertically sometimes too. It's useful to have the smoke deploy after a short delay or for shooting it over cover. Very rarely in a crowded base it lands directly on an enemy's head and I get a hit marker. It could be funny stuff if it had a headshot modifier.

Does anyone have the problem where the Banshee tends to almost always deal all of its damage instantly? I'm used to it happening rarely with other weapons (usually is a case of the shooter lagging), but this happens at least half the time when a Banshee guns me down. Suddenly the thunk sound of being hit is overlapped ten times and I drop dead instantly. Don't have this problem any more often than rarely with any other gun, ESF or not.

The update has been delayed, noooo. I want my sexy sights now =(

I just got my first directive weapon, gauss prime, can't wait to try it out. Was hoping to have some sweet sights on it to compliment the longer distance shooting, but no =(

I also found my new wallpaper, was getting tired of my ARMA3 ones =p

Trying to sneak into areas only to have a asshole with a shotgun fly over your cover and one shot you in the back of the head with a shotgun is not fun.

That said, what is fun is flying a gal or a Valk into a sector owned by about 100 Vanu and just jink around a bit, dodging all their missiles.

Awww, I was looking forward to better performance so I feel like logging in more than once a week or so.

In other news I found a new overclock software for my GPU. I was using Catalyst Control Center but this software, Rivatuner, seems to increase performance farther past what my GPU should be capable of. I can get 50-60 in empty bases and 35ish in fights which I can deal with.

However sometimes after redeploying across a continent I get a few second long hitch when respawning and until I logout it's 15-25fps in a fight.

I was hoping the September patch would help with my low fps issues like the OMFG patch did for about a month or so. The flash tweaks (my favorite vehicle) and the accurate scopes were a nice bonus on top of that.

What a bunch of sissies, don't they have the lancer?

[Aseaheru]

I had flares, so...

[TolyK]

But Lancers don't lock on! They're basically railguns that you charge up.
I got one recently, it's great as long as you can lead your targets and have at least decent aim.

[Aseaheru]

Oh, that one? Dunno, but I survived each run with a max of .05% health loss... No armor either.

[Rex_Nex]

Count your stars! Driving into a 96+ fight with a gal and getting no lockons, no flak, and no lancers aimed at you is VERY rare.

[Aseaheru]

Never said no lockons, flack or lancers aimed, simply that I escaped with no damage loss*.
*Or not enough to matter.

In other news, sitting in a sundie with a big gun shooting someone who just spotted the MAX on the hill about 200m behind you and shooting them is too fun.

I don't understand your loadout choices.

If you were on Hossin then it doesn't count since that continent seems to be designed to enable Galaxies and other air to do whatever they want without fear of reprisal from ground forces.
