It ups nearly all of the stats that are normally raised in battle. Firing, throwing, strength, TUs, stamina and health. Not to mention being able to attack from complete cover and through walls (to a certain extent). HE and Stun weapons can also be used the same way, just no arcing.

Not really...I've thrown over 20 tiles. Just get in a place with a clear ceiling and you should be able to get max range.

And while on the subject of HE. It does 4x damage to the large units. Not sure if it registers as 4 hits in your mission experience that is added up though...

Wow, if that's true, I'm going to start throwing lots of grenades to increase my firing accuracy. How odd. "Jim, you should pitch for the major leagues with the arm you have." "Nah, boss, throwing these grenades like fastballs helps my aim with rifles just as much as it improves my throwing accuracy."

As for explosions, you know, I always wondered if it was a 4x thing. I thought not, because once I tossed three alien grenades at a cyberdisk and ran for it, and the disk didn't die. But then, they have armor, so maybe that's it.

Actually, I was outdoors. Then again, the soldier in question was carrying a huge load of junk (for strength training), so maybe that had something to do with her throwing only 5 tiles. I also hear that crouching improves distance.
