Note about underwater movement penalty

@@ Line 53: / Line 53: @@
 The Official Strategy Guide for TFTD (X-COM: Terror From The Deep, The Official Strategy Guide by David Ellis) mentions on pg 115 that the Dye Grenade does 10 Smoke/Dye and High Explosive. Also, the UFOpaedia lists this item as having a damage type of HE. While this is technically true, it is also very false. The smoke grenade flag in [[OBDATA.DAT]] overrides the HE damage and produces smoke instead. Testing has also shown that explosion is completely harmless to unarmored soldiers.

	Dye grenades are dual role items, useful for providing cover in exposed situations. Functioning in both water and land environments the dye is ejected as a particle cloud, producing an octopus like ink spray in water or dense air borne cloud on land.

	The dye grenade mainly differs from the ~~smoke grenade~~ in how its used. Instead of creating a medium but tight pack of cloud cover, the dye grenade first creates a small initial puff of dye and dust that provides little to no cover. Over the course of several turns it starts to thin and spread out over a larger area.		The dye grenade mainly differs from the [[Smoke Grenade]] in how its used.

	Because cloud cover provide the greatest protection within the first few turns after being released from the grenade, the way the dye grenade functions pretty much works against it.
