Revert ammo count change for underbarrel GL/smoke/incendiary (not SPH)

Hi. This was not listed in the changelog (only for the other grenades and launchers etc), but the ammo count for underbarrel 40mm GL / incendiary / smoke got reduced. Doing this because of 1 "small"...

Wonder why this was.needed, didn't see a well commented "dev note", leaves the underbarrel useless.

@Dutchie-Mario
I would not be surprised if the change for the SPH somehow affected the underbarrel launchers too.
Cause there is no reason to nerf the smoke variety

@UP_HawxxeyeAP too. I actually agree to nerf HE and Fire launchers because they got spammy even on bigger maps.

But smoke and AP should've stayed at max 3 ammo to help players move around and fight vehicles.

  @UP_LordPlumber No, in my opinion, the under-barrel grenade is not much of a problem because of APS and SDS, as well as the TGM and so on. SPAM is also defensible because of SDS.
  If they are nerfed, DICE should nerf their damage and trajectory.
  
  The number of shots should be increased to about four for smoke.

  @UP_LordPlumber Yeah I forgot to mention AP nades too.
  It is absolutely unreasonable to reduce the underbarrel nades to 1 each while also keeping their other values balanced around having 3.

  This exactly. Nerfing AP is huge. Anyone could have 3 AP. But you had to be using one of four weapons. And it wasn't OP to use.
  Also I would argue HE is the worst of the bunch. Incendiary is just for Dozer.

    Did DICE make any statements about this change since then?
