Nade landing sound

[matamor]

Since 1.31, nades are very popular with the new capture system. Problem is that when its thrown, we can't hear it landing near you.That would be awesome to add a simple sound (metallic or else) when it hits a wall or/and the wooden floor to advise people around about that threat.

Great idea! Nothing like call of duty need with icons etc but audio of it landing would be distinctive and help a lot.

Just the other day I saw a nade land behind a squaddie who wasnt on TS unfortunately and was too late to type - he wouldve surely heard it land and run away in time if this was a feature

Concur... and whilst we're on the subject can we get a hotkey for grenades and no im not saying it should be quicker but more fluid than to scroll select the nade then click. More like push button and that's it done!

I'd like to add this to 1.32

Yup grenade overhaul is definitly needed:

1) Adding audio

2) Hotkey

3) Allow cooking

4) Allow dropping

Your weapons are mapped to the number keys - in the case of the rifleman I think it's 1 for rifle, 2 for grenade, 3 for smoke grenades etc.

True but its still not fluid enough i feel for it to switch and throw, like binos its press and BAM like a blast from your spice weasel they're up.

You can drop nades now basically

But I think we need: left/right arm throwing and also underarm roll perhaps. The other stuff is needed too for sure, specially cooking.

TBH grenades need an overhaul..

Plus we need to remove the sticky bomb capability of nades. I admit I use this ability a lot when taking the 2nd floor of a flag bldng. You just throw it up at the 2nd floor ceiling and it sticks to the ceiling and hits everyone below it heh.

Do they function better now as well?

I believe they are more powerful..seem to be more effective anyway!

I doubt that they changed, the barracks have always whined about them because they expect them to act as large bombs.

In reality the grenades have always performed well in the game.

Yeah they worked for me fine.

I read a few commetns saying they seem better but just rumours I guess

I dunno why it gets moved. Isn't a bug and its something that everyone until now would like to be implemented in game. Hope rats sees it.
