Grens changes

Yeah, I know the existance of that new damage reduction since a few patches ago.
But first of all, you have to reach vet3 with grens. You have to survive the LV stage, specially T70.

This is another example of retarted parabolic buff by Relic, when all that is needed is add a 5th men from stock, or maybe an upgrade like Cons or Sections.

No, why should grens be able to take on the best fully upgraded of allied infantry on their own.

Rifles require racks and double bars @120 muni 150 mp 15 fuel.
Sections require racks, 5 man, and double brens @90 muni 300mp 50 fuel.
(single bren will probably do with 5 man fighting from heavy cover)
To beat stock lmg grens.

Neither of them have grenades at this point.
Sections dont have snares either.

Making Grens go toe to toe with the best of allied mainline just like that is a joke.

There is a reason people are using ass grens, ostruppen, and VSL's over Grens.

It's the same reason why conscripts fell out of grace before the 7 man/SVT buff. Soviet players were using penals like crazy because they could absolutely roflstomp Grens (as they should, they are 300mp), and Ost, other than building MG42's (which could be satchled) had no answer for it, except maybe a sniper supplanting a gren squad engaged with a penal. (And penals could still rush grens under cover and force them off)

You could force them off and wait for PG's...which still drop units against penals, their bundle grenade is not as good, and their AT package doesn't snare. And reinforcement cost is enormous.

I'm not for giving Grens an OP buff, but when players are preferring a 200mp unit like Ostruppen over a mainline infantry that costs 240mp and requires tech, it seems pretty clear the 240mp unit does not have enough value in it to purchase.

Why not give them more HP to increase their survivalbility?
