Grenade launcher needs more feedback

Bitcrusher

Is it just me or is it hard to tell where the grenades will go once you fire the rounds? The rounds are like rubberballs and I often hit myself. I was thinking of some smoke trails or something to help you track where the grenades fly.

Maybe its just that the grenades are too bouncy for me. Opinions?

I often note the GL shooting every third grenade into the ceiling for no reason whatsoever.

It feels like there is some sort of weird projectile acceleration with movement. It shouldn't matter what direction or speed you are moving at, the arc should always be the same.

Yeah, there is definitely something REALLY off about firing grenades/projectiles. Been playing a lot of TF2 recently, and that is spot on in terms of feel.

I imagine this is a known issue though.

I feel what you mean whilst using the GL. I think it has something to do with the performance. There seems to be a small delay before the 'nade actually starts flying, which makes it so it doesn't line up with your expectations. The grenades are also hard to see. Perhaps a little flare at the end to see it fly better?
