Default Re: Molotov price

I think the cost is Ok, keeps them from being too common. It really should be a defensive weapon IMO, they are difficult to move with and a hazard to have if you take fire. You can cork/seal them till employment but then you have to 'prime,insert,ignite' them when needed.
They also smell of gasoline everywhere you go. I you are using vodka bottles, just don't have the guy who emptied the bottle do the throwing.

He usually must have been drunk with vodka, to dare to rush with a bottle against a tank...

That's right of course,no russian comrade worth his salt would waste good vodka on an attacking tank.

Actually, there were Molotov Cocktail variants that did not need to be opened before throwing. One of these featured a sort of big match on the side, that would be lighted before throwing.

Most advanced versions featured small bottles of chemicals taped to the side of the main bottle - when hitting a target both bottles would break and when the components ended up mixing they would self-ignite. Handle with care...

In Finland during the Winter War Molotovs were mass-produced in a governmental booze factory. Curiously enough, in the original pre-war Finnish anti-tank doctrine they were intended primarily for blinding tanks in close quarters by producing smoke, until it was figured out that could also be chucked at the engine deck.
