Additional Information
  1. The large contrast in throwing distance the player is not capable of good will aim, and the end, this grenade flies too far from the target!
  1. The animation of the throw does not match the range of the throw. The player even without running and acceleration (standing still!) throws a grenade very far.

What can I do if I want to throw this mini-grenade over the fence, which is 5-10 meters away from me. Imagine that the enemy is behind a fence!
Throw this mini-grenade over the fence is not possible, because this grenade always will fly very far from the goal!

Also the second point remains. This is not a problem, but it's looks not realistic!
May be I would have left a long throw, only just in case, if player before throwing used takeoff run. But If the player stands still and throws this mini grenade, then the length of such throw it is necessary to reduce!

I personally think its fine. Its a pretty small grenade, to be honest..

Golf balls are lighter and fly further than bricks when thrown, too.
Just because they're both grenades doesn't mean their physical properties are the same.

There is the reason it is called mini. Also it deals less damage.

*Significantly* less, I might add. An RGO Grenade landing within 5m of you while you're standing up is going to result in your death. An RGN grenade will fuck you up good if it's close, but they don't have nearly the same amount of brute concussive force that RGOs dish out.

Hello,
this is a design decision. The mini grenade is lighter and deals less damage. In an exchange, you can throw it farther.

What does the power of the explosion, damage to this question!? No relation to the question has not!
Today, due to the large contrast in throwing distance the player is not capable of good will aim! In the end, this grenade flies too far from the target!
Also the animation of the throw does not match the range of the throw. The player even without running and acceleration (standing still)throws a grenade very far.
Such throw is physically looks not realistic!

The power of the explosion depends of the amount of the explosives present inside the grenade. Less explosives = less weight = longer range = less damage dealt.

"The power of the explosion depends of the amount of the explosives present inside the grenade. Less explosives = less weight = longer range = less damage dealt."

I'm talking about issues and not about the power of the explosion and not because reason of the long throw! Note, I do not propose to make both throw the same! If you reduce the throw by 30% this throw is will still farther than the standard throw grenades.

Again.I think today we have two problems:

  1. The large contrast in throwing distance the player is not capable of good will aim, and the end, this grenade flies too far from the target!
  1. The animation of the throw does not match the range of the throw. The player even without running and acceleration (standing still!) throws a grenade very far.

Such throw is physically looks not realistic and silly!

Yeah I had this problem too when they first added them. I recommend just practicing a little bit and you'll get used to them. I should probably do it too because I still sometimes throw over the target. It just takes practice.

I think adding the ability to toss a grenade gently is a different issue. Maybe make a separate ticket for that issue? I would like to see this too.

Shoot either through the fence or throw the grenade against the nearest object (like a house)?

How to throw a mini grenade gently, if you have a such grenade? In the game there is no such possibility.
Here is the answer to the question: "I would have left a long throw, only just in case, if player before throwing used takeoff run. But If the player stands still and throws this mini grenade, then the length of such throw it is necessary to reduce!"

No one wants to listen to me. Probably BI is not interesting to dig into the such issues of the game. This issue is "resolved"
