Seems to me expack exploders get away with not injuring or killing themselves more than if a player drops a grenade nearby himself. Is it equal?
In real war, an expack exploding nearby the detonator would have more self injuring potential than a grenade dropped nearby a nader.
Maybe it evens out gameplay wise because a nade can be tossed far, an expack can't.
Anyone see that player last week on Kharkov map? Nazi engineer got in the corner of our Allied home base large barn only spawn area and hid near the health locker getting more expacks from the outside ammo box thru the wall. He kept tossing out expacks at everyone spawning there, then regenerating health. He got 8 or 10 kills real fast. I'd say that qualifies using expacks as a primary weapon. Don't recall the day and time or his nick, not a regular I'd seen before. You can't do that with nades. He had time to take a few steps and place more expacks and run back to the corner health locker.
If I were an admin....Instant ban! He was being overtly exploitative, like he did that kinda stuff all the time and was good at it.
No doubt he'd scream and complain that he was banned.
