So I'm playing Brutal Doom for the first time. I know, I'm late to the party, but it's an amazingly fun mod.

However, one thing kinda irks me about it. Is it just me, or does the BFG feel really underpowered compared to its vanilla counterpart? The damage it deals with a direct hit seems appropriate, but the splash damage to surrounding enemies is incredibly underwhelming. It feels more efficient to take out high priority targets with charged plasma rifle shots instead.

Am I doing something wrong?
