AI in OFP:R 1.96 were very effective at using hand grenades to kill targets without direct line of sight.
Somewhere along the way they seem to have lost this ability.

They do use hand grenades, although it's very rare, and they aren't very good at it. Up-voted.

I definitely have seen them do it, but it does indeed seem to be rare. Very difficult to repro something like this.

Thanks, I have now observed them using hand grenades and have made a repro mission in which you can reliably see AI using hand grenades (by making them all non hand grenades harmless)
It's quite noticeable that they use them quite poorly! They seem to blow themselves up as often as not.
Ideal situations AI should use hand grenades:
- Grouped enemies (more than one kill per projectile) - AI do seem to currently use this criteria.
- Known enemy/enemies within hand grenade range, but no direct line of fire (eg enemy over crest or behind fence - AI do NOT seem to use this criteria

Considering what the devs have been doing recently they might come out and say "well, we will release a fix for this later in a free DLC" :p

It is no biggie really, just use some grenadiers for AI. They are pretty nasty once they pinpoint your location.
