Pyro - How useful ? How much do you carry ?

Nothing because I'm under 18!

Either way, in some cases they would be handy to have, but over come it and find a different way is what I like to do

I got a load of the enola gaye ringpull smokes and they are a total white out up to the point where your holding out ypur arms in case you walk into something. Bit dear but I got 20 for £20 tbey are usually 4.50 each.

If one land near you, you are dead.

They are good fro clearing a room or stairwell with no real hard cover.

You can hear the enemy stacking up preparing for an assault at most sites... with good timing a well placed grenade or similar will send them running for hard cover to avoid being dead. 2 guys with the world supply of Mk 5s kept the entire top floor of a building (and therefore the whole building) by employing this tactic. Would have cost a fortune but it won them the game.

I have only used the TLD ones in anger and i like them. They are a bit of nause to reload but really useful in buildings as they can be rolled down corridors or posted into rooms. I haven't yest used by BFG / VTGs in a game but they are fine when playing with them... faster to reload than the TLDs too.

The only down sides to BFGs are:
Initial cost
Fear of losing them
Cannot throw them (it is heavy - one on the noggin or in the face will be bad news!)

I find pyro very effective in game. Mostly to do with buildings, but in the right circumstance woodland too.

Loki7491 what's your opinion on the three you use ? I've no reusable pyro ( other than two tornado impacts, I use for indoors, not always effective :/ ) so I'm after some bfg's for indoors

I dont really use them to be honest and we cant use smoke at my local indoor site but a friend for mine seems to loves the flash bangs i do think they work to a point when your playing people that are new, as when one lands near them they don't know what to expect but once your used to them i think they are less effective to the point of almost being counter effective as when one lands near use we know to brace our-self as the opposing team is about to storm in.

See I'm all for having smokes indoors. Just need to get myself a gas mask just in case!

At Chobham there is a two story fort that requires one pyro per level to clear.

I know one guy who had an "industrial" strength smoke and he cleard it with just one. Really thick (non-toxic) smoke that simply caused an utter white out inside. Couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

THAT is what i want from my smokes!

I got me a few "military" smokes off ebay and theyre really really good!
But i just have my angry bird bfg for kills

Re: Pyro - How useful ? How much do you carry ?

It all depends on site and how flush i am feeling!

In recent months i have built up my re-useable pyro collection so it now stands at:

1 x Dynatech BFG (impact type)
2 x VTG (delay type)
2 x TLD training grenades (variable time delay 0.5 - 5 sec, charge dependant)

My local site has a lot of buildings so this will work out fine.

At woodland sites i prefere the disposable pyro. Mainly so i don't lose BFGs, and secondly so i can actually throw them over cover. I am a bit of a pyro whore but all in all i am disappointed with the standard of smokes that we use. They are fine in buildings as "poisonous gas" but are pretty dreadful at screening.

Just wondered what and how much people carry into a game, smokes, bfg's, bang pyro etc. A how useful do you find it ? . Personally I carry at least two smokes and two bangs and find some objectives are nearly impossible to take without pyro.
