Grenade timing

[Spiridon]

Grenade timings doesnt work properly. I mean then i throw grenade and activate a timer.I dont used a stopwatch, but it feels wrong.

Remember you can cook the nade with the opposite mouse button. I think nades explode around 6 to 7 seconds.

[Spiridon]

Flash and incendiery explodes about 2-3 s. HE explodes sometimes on 3s sometimes in 4,5. In source insurgency all nades explodes after 4 secs it was so easy to count a time. But here are some problems with that. As i said i didnt used the stopwatch ( maybe do it in a future ) but it feels that it works wrong

[NicoCoco]

Yeah flash and inc nades have short fuses.

[Spiridon]

Sorry guys for the wrong infomation. Used a stopwatch. Flash and inc oxplodes about 2.3 s. HE 5.2 s

You sure about that? Because I count slowly to 5 or 6 before I let the HE grenade go ... and it still have plenty of time to travel

Then u throw a nade for example by pressing LMB, just press RMB and u will activate a timer.

yes, I'm aware of how you cook a grenade before throwing it ... but try holding it, let go of the spoon and count how long it takes before it blows up in your hand ... I'm pretty sure the fuse on the frags are closer to 8 seconds than 5

M67 frags SHOULD have a 6 to 7 second timer.

" When the grenade is thrown, the safety lever will fly free (under pressure from the striker spring) and the striker will hit the cap, igniting the pyrotechnic delay element. When the delay element has burned approximately 4 to 5 seconds it will initiate the grenade's explosive filler, causing a large number of metal fragments to be projected at high velocities. "

Where do you get 6-7 seconds from?

I've tested it, grenades always have a minimum of 5 seconds before exploding no matter how long you cook it. You can't kill yourself with grenades. Another stupid design decision which makes no sense, we should be able to arm grenades while still holding them like how it works in every other FPS ever.

I disagree with you. U can pull out grenade trigger than graned is in hand and throw it after 3 sec so it explode in a point that u need or it can explode in air so it will damage all who was under the explosion point. Its realistic and really fun. Incendiari explodes much faster because its easier to burn it in a point what u need. With compare with molotov that explodes in a first collision point.

Probably from a source years back. That or my mind pulled a bad.

Anyways, I digress--still, that's not replicated in game at all. I have tried cooking frags and it takes up to ten seconds. Or more. That's not right.
