Who here would like to hazard a guess as to how many different types of grenades we can be looking forward to and what they may be? I would love to sit in the zepelin throwing impact grenades all over the place.
There was a tank grenade confirmed right?
And I would have to think there will be a smoke or gas.
Not sure i don’t remember it. I did see the interview at the reveal but i’ve probably forgotten loads.
I’m almost positive they confirmed it. And I believe the assault class gets its. But someone with a better memory would have to verify that for me
Do i recall seeing gas masks in the short video or am i mixing my memory of something else up here? Gas seems likely to me as well as smoke. I was thinking about some kind of petrol bomb/fire grenade too.
Yes there was a clip of gas masks as well as some type of greenish gas. Is that gas from a grenade?
I have no idea… I have no idea if they used gas in WW1 and if so how it was delivered. Maybe a grenade or maybe a bomb or something? Gas bombs from plane?
Well there’s no under barrel grenade launchers, so that’s out. Possibly from mortars?
I guess anything a possible for the sake of balance and gameplay
no underbarrel grenade launchers but there was Rifle Grenades
There was also a rather odd piece of equipment called a Trench catapult ( more a large slingshot) meant to lob grenades.
it would be a rather unique thing to use in game if they want to include it.
Gas was more of an artillery thing. There was chlorine and mustard gas.
Interesting
I’m sure there is a sticky anti tank grenade (fashioned in saving private Ryan)
Dynamite w dentonator
Primed mortars
German potato grenades (upgraded versions featured in ww2)
They didn’t have gas grenades during the First World War, nor did they have smoke grenades. They did, however, have artillery shells that contained tear gas, chlorine gas and mustard gas, the latter two of which were actually banned from warfare by the Geneva Convention.
Frisbee grenade.
Alright its just disk shaped but I imagine you would be able throw it like a Frisbee.
What the 1864? It talked about chemical as killing agents, not impairment agent which chlorine and mustard are designed as.
No, the Protocol of 1925.
BF1 is 1914-18 before 1925
No ? I was adding to context that they were later banned from use in warfare.
Well you should have been clear. To many read here and think it is fact. Like the last week a well known YouTuber made a comment about how Canada entered WW1, he is wrong. Yet his minion think he is right.
Canada was in the war, though. Since Great Britain declared war the rest of the commonwealth was also required to participate, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, ect. In fact, Australia had one of the highest mortality rates in the entire war in relation to the number of men in their standing armies.
