Grenade launcher : high register fire

Hah, yes. I rarely take flamers to missions any more (keep 'em for base defense), but if a trooper is just awful at everything, that's what I give him. Makes him a star  8)

It's not like firing the mortar-style lobs is something you want to do very often, but it would be very, very handy on the occasions when you do

You can make your own mod for single player, to make the grenade launcher fire in a high arc, sort of like the grenade lob mode. The grenade launcher projectiles will then fly in a parabolic arc instead of a straight line. You can then use the grenade launcher for indirect fire, like a mortar. Here's how:

Open your game directory and go into the base sub-directory.

Open the 0ufos.pk3 file, you can use 7-zip or pakscape.

Extract out the weapons_human.ufo file and put it in a sub-directory in your base directory called ufos. The path should then be something like C:\Program Files\UFOAI-2.5\base\ufos\weapons_human.ufo

Edit that file with a text editor like notepad.

Find the grenade launcher ammo definitions and comment out the line that says launched = true by putting // in front of it so it becomes: //launched = true

You have to do this for all the fire modes and in both types of grenade ammo (not the flechettes).

Save the file and run the game.
