Top bar 50m, bar with 1 next to it is 100m, next one down is 150m and so on.

Guess the range, line the appropriate sight up next to the target, let rip.

Jeez, I can't even guess range in real life. But this is pretty cool.

I love the new sights. Good work DEVs! :D

And I like that the sights match with the original sights on the weapon (if you know what I mean). This matches quite good on most of the grenadier weapons, though on some it doesnt match at all.
Can you make it so it matches as good as possible on all grenadier weapons? :D

for a cool effect, find some friends, go on a training map, fire explosive grenades all at the same time at the same general area...and wambam you get a sort of short distance artillery strike effect. We did it with 11 people today on a training server....very cool effect with the dust and explosion.

Get your squad leader to mark the target so you can get the distance :) Its what I do for a near perfect shot every time :)

And CROUCH!

Yesterday at Ramiel, I was the SL and other squad member had the SL kit. I marked the position of a group of americans with the ATTACK HERE marker and we could see the distance (something arround 110 meters)

I put the target at the "1" marker and launched the grenade (so did my friend) and we both hit the group of enemys.


1 = 100 meters

2 = 200 meters

and so on.

Ditto. If you were good at judging distance that thing was a killer. Love being called out as an "aimbot nademan"

seriously, I'm in love with GLs now. The only time I lead a squad anymore is as insurgent.
I think the sound and animation for the nades just adds that extra bit of fear to them.

Hurrah!

Yeah as said, from the top down just go 50, 100, 150, 200.

That said, it's not 100% accurate, as hight elevation from the target counts too. If you firing from high ground to low ground you won't need to aim as high as you would for flat ground.

I really like the GL's as well now. I've been kicking *** with the insurgent grenade launcher, I just estimate the distance and there's always time for a 2nd shot where you can correct the trajectory.
