Is this correct:

THERMAL against shields
KINETIC against unshielded
PLASMA,,,?

Also, how do you aim the L6 Launcher? Is it just a matter of 'get gud' at estimating the impact zone...?

The L6 lands where you aim.. With some deviation. Not too much tho. Learning the timing regarding distance is a thing. Same with plasma

What would be the best weapon for a newbie at EDO's FPS? One who has no twitch reactions whatsoever and has to close his eyes when the gun goes bang.

Plasmas are the easier to use, no swapping about necessary, but you need to find some upgraded ones first.
Sniper and pistol are pretty meta, the shotgun lost some of its shine recently when FD fixed an exploit for it.

Has anyone worked out how to aim and "weigh" the throw of grenades yet? All I could see was a key to throw but no strength of throw indication - it was just a waste of the meagre two available.

Not me...
Different G planets would really require some grenade-aiming assists.

As we have it now, i can (sort of) reliably use grenades only nearby buildings where i can use corners and back walls as stoppers
In open field, i usually try to throw them so they bounce on the ground ending up closer to the enemies... which kinda works for rather closer targets.
And i mostly like emp grenades to clear shields, i rarely use frag grenades - mostly against snipers that take cover after i drop their shields
Or, when i take a roof with access-stairs, i do a quick combo emp-frag grenade when a group of 2-3 hurry to the stairs to get me... sometimes it works nicely.

There is no strength of throw, as far as I can tell. It's just aim and hope.

The few times I've tried using a grenade I either missed wildly, or blew myself up. I have not practiced since then, because grenades are not that useful for the missions I like to do.

Maybe one day I'll give them more time :)
