I guess you're thinking of that scene from 'Letters from Iwo Jima'

That scene popped into my mind also immediately after reading his post. But why not since helmet is almost everytime present unlike rocks and other stuff you might want to hit it against. Though, gotta admit that I don't know if grenade really needed to be hit on something to arm it.

From what I've read they either struck them against their Helmets, but the more common method was against the Rifle Stock.

The Type 91, 97 and 99 all where armed by "pulling the Pin" and striking the cap, only the Type 23 wasn't, that had a pull lanyard to arm it

Is there going to be completely yellow Mk2 grenades? Because they used them for sometime, before painting them olive green.

I think you can take it that we will do as many types of grenades as we have resources to do - this means getting one very common variant and FULLY implementing that (model, texture, animations, code, sound) before even thinking about adding more.

No prob - I personally like the idea of ceramic nades, but apart from evading modern airport security, I can't really see the point in them.

Always thought the jappas use the granades which the stick poking out the bottom
Edit: I think the biggest point to a ceramic grenade was the fact that Japan, even at the biggining of the war, had a very limited supply of metal and gasoline to smelt it with, with a ceramic grenade you can save supplies by having potters craft it for you and leave factories to produce more important arms such and ammo or tanks.
P.S to the looks it seems that the type 4 isn't the only non-metal grenade, the type 03 looks like it's some sort of woven material.

Will we be able to pick up grenades that are on the ground, from fallen soldiers of either side??

The only reason I ask is because in the BIA series that was a feature that was never added, and it just seemed strange to me, where as in every other FPS I played it was always part of the coding.
