Radio protocols when throw frag grenade won't work

Description

The game correctly sent a message from a unit when throws a smoke grenade, however if he throws a fragmentation grenade (no matter player or AI) unit will not say this phrase in the radio

see RadioProtocolBase → SentIncomingGrenade
and RadioProtocolBase → SentThrowingGrenade

All audio files and configs seems correct for this 2 classes, but when I throw frag grenade no any massage into radio for my team (behaviour == "COMBAT")

When trying to troubleshoot I noticed that if you change the simulation for a fragmentation grenade to a smoke grenade simulation CfgAmmo → GrenadeHand → simulation → from "shotGrenade" to "shotSmokeX" , the unit will say "Smoke Out" when throwing a fragmentation grenade, so seems in-engine issue in shotGrenade simulation

Found through comparison with alpha where it works, you need to have hit > 10 for it to work.

class CfgAmmo {
    class Grenade;
    class GrenadeHand:Grenade {
        hit = 10.00001;
    };
};

Really weird choice but seeing that alpha uses same grenade config as OA probably means this engine part wasn't touched for years.

Since A3 mini grenade has

	class mini_Grenade: GrenadeHand
	{
		hit = 6;

I'd suggest to fix it in the engine to have it report grenade throw over lower hit threshold (>=5?)
