I'm not reffering to the support grenade, I know about that. It just seems like I dont actually see a grenade for the first several meters after I toss it, and the motion seems jerky. Maybe its just me ... doesnt cause lag.

Guess I'll have to practice!

Hehe, messed up the grenades good today. The rebel scum was holding the command room with the blue-tinted glass window near the landing platform on Endor. OK, I think, let's smoke them out, no reason for any of us to get hurt.

My frist grenade goes too high and explodes on the ground near the wall.
My second I mess up by throing it with using the right mouse button. It lands near me, I run, and I die in the explosion.
The third hits the window and bounces off. I felt sooo damned smart.

Grenades do seem kinda jerky (at least once their outa your hand), and I do find that I'm missing more often then not, but I'm pretty sure it's just that I have to get used to the new arc of the grenade, probably just messing up because I'm unconsciously calculating arc for the 2142 grenades..........

Is that all grenades or the Support "grenade"? The support grenade is the equivalent of C4/RDX and it is not really throwable that far.

As for the other grenades you should be able to see them flying.

As a PR veteran who doesn't feel a need for crosshairs and as such has disabled them entirely (without missing them for a second), I can't agree with your crosshairs thing. As for grenade-throwing causing lag, if that's what you mean, it's never happened to me.

Not sure if this has been discussed before, but I am having issues seeing my grenades after I throw them.

I can see them in my hand, but after the toss I have no idea where it is much of the time until it lands. Also, there does not appear to be a cross-hair for the grenade as there is in 2142, and it makes aiming tricky.

I do have view distance set to 100% btw.

Maybe its just my setup, but throwing nades just feels jerky and slightly awkward in FS where it felt quite smooth in 2142.

Anyone else notice this?

Thanks
