Okay I have no idea if this a bug or engine limitation, but I just thought I'd throw it out there
Apparently its possible, if you're inside a building and can look out of a window, if you stand in the center of a building and keep your "cross hair" pointed at the window, you can still shell enemy units, even if your grenade launcher is pointed straight into the roof. I tried this, and I'm pretty sure it worked, but its hard to confirm since you're really inside the building.

But to recreate just go to any map, get in a building with a roof, window and good view to a big valley or something, and then set your grenade launcher range to max and fire while keeping your crosshair in the window and standing far into the center of the room.

The grenade bounces off objects. It might have bounced off the ceiling, fallen out the window or sth, and exploded elsewhere when it flew far enough to arm.

I had such things happen from time to time. I think it never went through stuff, it just seemed to bounce alot and then explode somewhere completely different.

It could be because launched grenades arm themselves after ~50meters ?

But then they wouldn't explode outside the building I guess...

Nevertheless: Do they? It should be pretty easy to confirm since you should hear them explode outside.

That's what I just said, they often do explode outside of buildings because they somehow find a way out. Not always, though.

I'll try and reproduce it tomorrow, anyhow. If I don't forget it.
