Title: Alternative armament for NI and CNS
Post by: Andrey on November 25, 2012, 04:23:29 PM: Volunteers(especially at the early stage of war) were not-too-well supplied....BUT-i was talking with some ww2 vets,and they told me militia and also naval infantry,especially during battle for sevastopol had used self-made/scavenged "grenades/molotovs"from whatever they found or took as a trophy from their fallen opponents...this was varying from shattered glass hg to molotovs to improvised fragmentation hg made from junk metal etc..
So-my suggestion is-remove munition cost from cons molotovs and NI and add like longer cooldown-like maybe 90 or 120 seconds.

Lets say that they need to find 15 munitions to make the molotovs :)

It would be quite a bit useless to make Molotov Cocktails free just to make us wait longer to use them. I believe this was already done back when we first introduced Molotov's in one of the previous patches (1.4 was it). The balance concern lies in the fact that the Soviets use munitions to upgrade, and having one of their most readily available abilities not use munitions could give them quicker Armory upgrades, potentially making them overpowered

The original version of the mod implemented the such "Free abilities with long cool down" with only a hell of a struggle to balance and overall broken gameplay.

Realistics of Warfare <<<<<<< Gameplay balancer
