xCGIx PUNISHER Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Anybody have any idea what the difference is? Since the Cluster Bomb costs 300 BP more and is unlocked later than White Phosphorus I assumed that the Cluster Bomb was more effective. But from using both, I feel like WP is the better option because it costs less, obviously, and it seems like it has a larger area of effect. But maybe that's just me. One other question, what the hell does the WP grenade even do? I throw at objectives on Ground Control hoping it will kill somebody but it never does anything. Does it work like Nova Gas in BLOPS where it will kill someone if they sit in it for a long time or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ademlakey Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I never seem to hit anything with the cluster bomb. The thing with the WP grenade is that it takes 2 or 3 seconds to explode, but the enemy has to be pratically right next to it when it goes off.

ConfusedGeek Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 i believe the cluster bomb can destroy/hurt tanks. and may kill through buildings. the wp grenade, uhg, i throw it like a girl. it doesnt go far for me. while the regular grenade goes far.

But maybe that's just me. I just started using cluster bombs yesterday and I felt the same way. I could easily get 2-4 kills with WP each time, and only average 1 kill with the cluster bombs. It does seem like a waste because you waste more BPs. One other question, what the hell does the WP grenade even do? It explodes and leaves burning white phosphorous in the general area of where it exploded. I love it and use it in two ways: 1) throw it direct at someone who is not already running (for example, when they are trying to cap a point in ground control). I'm not sure if they get a grenade indicator or not (I'm guessing not), but for some reason people never run away and the explosion kills them. 2) throw it to block a path. If you see someone running towards you and are pretty sure they will run through this doorway, lay down a line of fiery white phosphorous and odds are they will sprint right in and burn to death.

This^ I've seen enough people using it and not getting nearly as many as you get with WP. So I haven't even bothered using it lol. I would assume if you want the Expert of War then you will have to use it at some point. Good luck =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConfusedGeek Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 according to the game, cluster bombs can cause damage to light vehicles. btw, a couple of times i launched the bombs and nothing happened. yeah it does seem to be a waste of 300 points.

AFreakinCabbag3 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I've only used cluster bombs but I got the expert now so I'll be using WP next time I play. With cluster bombs I wait till tanks start rolling in then aim for them destroys them almost everytime. I normally call 3 in with the points I've gained and I get an average of 2-3 kills per bomb.

Do you aim with the center of the target circle on the tank? (With the WP, I've found it more successful when there are enemies on the edges of the target circle, and not as successful when enemies are directly under the center.)

kTs Yones Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I only use clusterbombs to take out enemy vehicles. For infantry I prefer the WF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its not moving I centre it seems to work, I don't know if the tank moves but it normally destroys it. If its moving I aim ahead so it drives into it also I take in to consideration the planes distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xCGIx PUNISHER Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 How effective is the cluster bomb against Heavy Vehicles? Because I never use BP on special weapons unless it's on the small maps but if a Cluster Bomb can kill a tank in one hit than I'll definitely start using it.

S0n1c death Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 1 cluster bomb easily takes out a heavy tank if its stationary and in the center of your aim. wheras a phosphorus wont even take down a light tank. cb better for vehicles wp better for infantry imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
