Some maps give you +1,+2 or +3 granades per time you go to an ammo cache, depending on how long you avoid doing so. But some maps only give +1 granade no matter how long you stay without going to an ammo cache!
Does anyone know something about it?
Why some maps only give you +1 granade per ammo cache?

That's just the way the maps are. Ghost, Rio, Goddess, Jade and a few others are great maps for grenadiers, because their boxes are plentiful. Conversely, Giant, Reactor, Condor and a few others are more stingy, with Glacier being the worst of all.

I don't know why that is but I love Firebase Jade, there's always a ton of grenades close by...I think Firebase Vancouver only ever gives you one grenade...which is a bit odd...ammo crates are closer together on Jade and really far apart on Vancouver...seems like it would make more sense to have Vancouver crates hand out more grenades and Jade crates to give less...

I see your point, and nice link btw, but i rather prefer a map designed with limited ammo boxes or in risky places than a supply cap, in some maps, my drell adept become useless, even with + granade kits, i never get to refill my stock after i deplet it in the firt rounds.

I wasn't making any argument for or against the way the ammo crates work now, just offering clarification.... I agree that on some maps grenade supply can become an issue on Gold or Platinum. Glacier and Reactor in particular come to mind, but it can be a problem on any map if enough team members are using grenades.
I usually have enough grenades for my Drell Adept on every map/difficulty but Glacier Platinum, and even then I usually only am running short toward the end if my teammates aren't dishing out enough DPS. But it sort of comes down to your playstyle. If you don't spec into Pull and/or rarely use it, then you'll run low on CGs earlier than a player who relies on that power to pull
its weight.

The main farming maps like white and glacier only give you one I believe. All the other maps should Gove you at least 2 I even heard one map gives you 3

A lot of the Rio crates give you three. On Gold. It's ridiculous.
Grenade supply isn't that much of an issue on White because there are five ammo crates. Glacier, on the other hand, is awful, especially since there's zero time between waves (I haven't forgotten about that unannounced change BioWare <_<) and trying to access the basement drop completely FUBARs the spawns for the ensuing wave.
I would support all maps giving two grenades per crate on Gold and Plat if Grenade Capacity gear gets nerfed. I think it's fine the way it is otherwise. Grenade classes should take a bit of a hit on some maps.

Well the pre-Rebellion maps are a bit more stingy since they were created before the grenade capacity gear came out. Back then, the most you could carry at a time was three grenades, so it was a little too powerful to have boxes give more than one at a time. They likely just haven't tweaked the old maps yet to keep up with the "power creep" of the new stuff.

Thermal clip refill. Fills your grenades as well. Granted, not many times per game but it does help...
