Re: Grenade Launchers
Actually I prefer AGLs to HMGs.
Their "splash" seems more effective.
The US 40mm one has HEAT ammo that works nicely on APCs.
They also seem more effective at supressive fire...perhaps it's the "explosion" (whd size=3) effect of the AGL vs the "bullet" (whd size=1) of the HMG.
In my revised USMC OOB the HMG Platoon has 4x HMGs and 2X AGLs (the normal ratio the USMC uses).
The only problem is the ammo issue, AGLs come with at best 20 shots, most HMGs 60-90.
