Well, I see that the likes of Kimbo and VonIvan (and I may have missed a few others) are using ostruppen/agrens to great effect. In fact most players that use grens end up losing even with 5man upgrade. Haven't watch all the games but so far I've only seen Luvnest win a game with grens. Just sayin'. I'm not asking for any changes. Just my observations. Grens haven't really changed much, yet many top players are sick and tired of using them.

Was high on Ostruppen/PGren combo; especially with the new T4 buff. Ostruppen have AT snares, PGrens have great mid range DPS. They synnergize well together.

I know this is supposed to be sarcastic, but unfortunately it may be the truth not because grens are UP, but sections and rifles are OP (rifles only op vs grens).

It's like that time people skipped on Riflemen to use Assault Engineers or Pathfinders when they were made 0 CP to call in.

Tightrope casted Orangepest vs Tiramisu.

First game was OH vs Su.
MG42 > AssG > 2x Grens. Fast 222 > PG

VonIvan often does not build any Grens and goes for Assgren-PGren combos. At least in this case it is nothing unusual.

and he badly needed an AT gun at times, which he also "boycotts" in games...Maybe Incendiary needs to start a thread "Top Players boycotting Pak 40 in the tournament".

I watched the last couple hours of AE's cast. It seemed like Ost won most of the time. I don't remember seeing any UKF or any other sign of the dreaded Britocalypse that some people have been predicting.

Someone needs to look up the definition of boycott.

Boycott (verb)

The withdraw from commercial or social relations with (a country, organization, or person) as a punishment or protest.



The ”withdrawal from relations with” part seems to fit incendiaryrounds’ argument as few of the players built grens, but the “as a punishment or protest” part does not, as I do not believe they were doing it to protest or punish something.

Although if you count them trying to punish their opponent then maybe?;)

Apparently having a significantly lower winrate due to using your mainline inf is "balanced."

That was one game. Ostruppen and agrens that replaced grens, was used in far more games.

They're boycotting cuz they're protesting the performance of grens by refusing to use them.

Playing Ostruppen isn't 'protesting Grens'.

It is when Kimbo never gets a single gren all tournament.

Gren have no problem

Just ostruppen+PzG combination is OP

Pzg, in particular, received so many buffs that it became better to use with ostrupen


It's a non-topical story, but I think Tommy shouldn't have received the moving accuracy buff

Currently, the mod team hastily touched all the mainline infantry incorrectly, and it is crowded due to the butterfly effect.

It's not that the grenadier is weak, it's the result of Ostruppen and PzG becoming too strong.
