Throwing:
Grenades use the horizon
line to determine the distance of your throw. If you
want to drop a grenade right in front of you, look
towards the ground and simply tap the 'attack' key.
If you want to throw a grenade a great distance, look
above the horizon line at varying degrees. The further
above the horizon, the further you will toss the grenade.
However, this does have a diminishing effect. Looking
directly upwards towards the sky will cause the grenade
to return to where you are standing.
Short Fuse: Both the 'pineapple'
and 'potato masher' grenades use a fuse detonator.
The length of which is 5 seconds. You can short fuse
a grenade by pressing and holding your 'attack' key.
You will hear 4 'ticks' before it detonates. Let go
of the 'attack' key when you want to release the grenade.
An experienced soldier can time the throw and usually
cause a grenade to detonate at the
perfect spot.
Bounce: Use the bounce of
the grenade to your advantage. No, it is not realistic,
but it can come it handy when trying to toss a grenade
around corners or into holes. The bounce can also
be used to achieve great distances with your throw.
Remember it takes some practice
to master them so get started!
