I have made this obervation too. It is due to the background clips which only run at a max of like 30 fps which caps all menues to that.

After I realised this, I renamed the videos which play in the background (or delete them) which unlocks the refresh rate. You can find the video files under

/steam/steamApps/common/company of heroes 2/coh2/movies

The vlc-player can open the files (.webm) so you can go through them and see if it is one that you need to rename/delete.

I'm currently looking for a way to just replace these files with a picture/screenshot but I haven't made any progress.

If you remove/rename the files the background will be black but the menues are a lot more responsive and should refresh at the maximum possible frame rate.

Let me know if this helps and if you need any more help

Its not a small bottle. Usually bottles of at least 0,5 l are used to make incendiaries like Molotovs. 0,75 l or 1 l is preferable.
Since the bottle is made from glass even the 0,5 l version is allready in the 1 kg range. A modern hand grenade is usually half of that, much more compact, better balanced, not breakable and not allready on fire.

Molotoves are usually thrown by lobbing in a high arc because they are rather heavy and unwieldy to get the desired range. If thrown at vehicles the roof or top is what you want to hit. Like this the burning liquid will stay on the target and propable leak into it.
Lobbing also makes sure the bottle actually will break.

If you think this is unrealistic get yourself some bottles fill them with water and test for yourself. Molotovs are not easy to use or particular effective weapons.
