The Flares would be amazing if there were more proper "night time" maps where it's actually dark out and you can't see more than a few meters in front of you. Would love to see Incindiary and Flashbangs buffed as well, they're far too weak as LC pointed out. I think anyone caught in within 7~10m of an FB should be blind and deaf for 5 seconds - any less than that and there's no point, and any more and it starts to become OP as if you nail a group of people you'll likely have enough time to gun them all down before it wears off. I think the intention of the incendiary is area-denial, which would be great on maps like operation locker or if you're defending something like an M-COM from being armed, but it *needs* to do a lot more damage and should definitely kill anyone stupid enough to remain standing in it...

Like you said, it is definitely to block off areas. It also serves to obstruct vision pretty well. So many times I've been in Operation Locker and incendiary grenades were used to keep a team behind cover from returning fire. It basically functions like a smoke grenade that does damage.

What if the ability to lock on to flares was added instead? Throw it onto a sniper or camper-laden building, and air to ground missiles with line of sight could lock on and rain hell on the area, (like a less powerful Tracer Dart gun from BC2). I know that it isn't all that realistic, but it wouldn't be totally far fetched, as flares are sometimes used to mark aerial strike zones, and it would give an actual purpose to the flares. Thoughts?

You guys know that pretty much the only practical military application of an EMP is delivered by a nuke. Even a small, grenade sized EMF requires the user to lug around a heavy ass backpack. There are EMP based weapons designed for usage from planes (see BFBC2 and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse#Non-nuclear_electromagnetic_pulse_.28NNEMP.29), but, still this concept is totally unviable. Also, an EMP wouldn't affect a tripwire mine, so that entire statement was actually kind of pointless. Incendiary grenades can destroy the tripwire claymores and (they should) destroy all other types of explosives. This is what they're used for IRL.

There are uses for flares outside of marking areas, targets or messing with night vision and infrared scopes. A small " trick " is to use them on dark areas to light up the rooms in order for making the corner campers really easy to see if they are hiding in the dark corners. Correctly placed, they can even blind them from their enemies by a small bit and make using red dot sight and alike scopes hard to aim with due to the similar red light all over the screen. For example, in Zavod 211 rush mode. There is a B bomb inside the bunker in the first place, generally it is a really dark place and camping enemies can sometimes prove a difficult thing to detect in there. No problem, throw in a flare and you are good to go. Especially useful as a defender since attackers tend to set up a camp in there.

RGO impact is my go to grenade. Despite the lesser damage, there really is no overstating how crucial it is to not give your opponent time to escape the blast. Also it does not explode on impact, it explodes very shortly after impact (less than a second after impact). This is significant because it still allows you to ricochet the grenade off of walls if you need to. As for the incendiary grenades I hardly ever use them but they are very effective in rush. Throw them at the objectives to delay arming or disarming the bomb. Also deadly against players who camp in tight spaces with limited exits.

I do as well. Especially when you toss it to make it seem you're using it. But then it's really a Bluff and you go another direction and flank. Very useful

+bokelund917 I like smokes when you capture objectives or use them for other tactical purposes. I hate people who spam them in close quarters though. Fucks the game up for both parties. If you play metro or locker this ruins the fun for everyone, especially because you have 3 and get new ones way to fast from all the ammo packs laying around at these clusterfuck points.

if you're in a helicopter and there's a lock on it can you throw a flare and have the missile follow it instead?

The flares are probably not programmed for that, otherwise people will spam it in helis.

no. they are IR flares on heli
@Rey-je5rz8 жыл бұрын
IR flares make the rockets lock on to them because they are IR while normal flares are just flares like the tactical insertions from cod And also flares are for jets or helis to see a position to strike, it could be a sign of a squad under fire wanting evacuation or more soldiers to drop in or just wanting to blind the enemy and push up, or like the way I like to use them when I'm go in solo queue I put m2 slams on the floor and when an LAV passes by I throw a flare at the slams and it says (My name) FLARE skrub and I get kicked for (Hacking)

You were mostly right about this guide. A few of the things you were wrong about we're that the incendiary grenades do not one shot people that is not there job, you did not see their true purpose which is to cut of points of the map for a few seconds. No one will want to run through them if there are guys watching the incendiary grenade because they know if they do they will have low health making it super easy for the guys watching it to kill them. Secondly, flares are very useful. Me and my buddies like to play milsim games online sometimes flares are extremely good for marking enemy armor, highlighting JDAM strikes, and requesting supply drops.

the incendiaries are excellent for buying time to reload levelcap, one of my favorite grenades for rush, whenever im holding an mcom i use them as a last resort to throw it on the mcom to buy some time, or use them to slow down people in operation locker

v40 is my choice as well. the fact you get 3 grenades, plus farthest throwing distance is awesome. even if it's not a one hit kill, a lot of the times they are hurt or someone (or I) have shot them a few times already
@HaukLanglo10 жыл бұрын
I have the impression they move faster with a flatter trajectory as well, and you can throw them in very rapid succession also. In corridor fights etc you can "shoot" them straight into those machingunners in the distance. Do they also have a shorter fuse? To me it seems like they are detonating on target much more often then the regular ones.

You know what's going to be a crazy combo and something you and Matimio should do for squad up; the Flare + Smoke Grenade combo. One person has Flares and the other has Smoke and wherever you guys go just chuck one of each down on the same spot. It will totally fuck up the other team, especially in corridors like in Operation Locker.

I still don't get why great videos with no downsides get dislikes. I guess there will always be "those" types of people. As always, another very informative video! Although I have only rented BF4 to beat the campaign and mess around on MP a little bit, I still enjoy your BF4 videos so keep up the good work!
@Taurevanime10 жыл бұрын
One thing you might want to test out is if it is possible to kill someone with a flashbang. It happened to me one game and the victim was astounded by it as was I. But upon reviewing my BF4 stats it has no kills listed for it. Though I could have sworn the message popped up that M84 Flashbang was the weapon that did the kill. It might only do 1 damage after all. But any damage is still capable of killing you I guess.
@FailedTransaction10 жыл бұрын
If you make direct contact with someone using the flashbang it does do damage. Or, at least it did in HC. I've also been killed with smoke grenades making impact but those were fired from grenade launchers. So, who knows on the hand thrown version.
@zemrood10 жыл бұрын
When flashbang detonates right under me I think they have done like 25 damage. And the grenade launcher ones kill you if they hit you directly.

I have to say I am a fan of the Incendiary's. Issue is most people use them incorrectly. Use them defensively or passive-aggressive. Use it to cover a reload, prevent someone from camping a corner, or block a corridor for a few moments till you or your teammates can regroup and get a better position or, again, reload. Most people wont run through the fire so it is effective when its used right. Also, though the flares are generally useless, I have found them to be very useful in large conquest maps with attack jets/helo's (esp. in Hardcore) to mark areas to strafe and suppress.
@brainplay806010 жыл бұрын
Incendiary grenades make great "access denial" devices especially on Operation Locker. Setting them off near the chokepoints makes it difficult for enemies to strafe in and out of corners unless they're further back. If they do then they take 60pts of damage and become vulnerable to grenades reaching past the 5m point. Flare can be really really distracting at chokepoints if you're firing from further back. It makes noticing people crawling or kneeling much more difficult especially if there are several on your side.
