Honestly haven't bothered using it in the latest iteration.

But isn't the design flawed to begin with? You get a guy with an StG (close to mid range) yet want to keep the Kar98k Grens at range. Wasn't really that cool on Volks to begin with... and those get more StGs.


Yeah its terrible. Another thing destroyed by the classic double nerf. Don't understand why they go through the effort to destroy something into the ground just to end up buffing it again later on.

The original upgrade if im not mistaken gave an extra man, a recieved accuracy buff, and more damage which is obvious that it was going to be too strong.

The 5th model plus maybe a slight reduction in reinforcement cost would have been enough.

Why would anyone want just a beefier Grenadier for meatshield while they can have Osttruppen which is cheaper and just better overall for being the meatshield.

Also, VSL should just be better -not overwhelmingly but in a way- than the LMG42 upgrade for the grens since that is the whole point of the commander, not anything else.

As I previously said, move the upgrade to 3CPs (which is the time most of the Allied Elites/LVs arrive) and give them their G43 back while increasing the upgrade cost to 80 munitions just like Panzerfusiliers so now player has to choose, do they want the early LMG42 powerspike or wait and try a better upgrade.
Grens are finally good.

Ironically enough it's also only in a commander without stuka or tiger.

That's not how it works. Durability and dps go hand in hand, the lmg grenadiers losing 2 models means still having most its dps, while the dps of 4 men grenadiers drops drastically with 2 models lost. As the dps drops, the enemy retains much better dps, so your durability is is actually lower.

thats not how durability works. durability is the amount of punishment a squad can take, not how quickly fights end.
5 men mean more health, but also more targets, which spreads out damage, meaning less odds of a model being burst down. but additionally, how much pray tell dopes tthe lmg42 protect against mortars? snipers? tanks? mines?

side note, you are describing the lmg42 exactly for its purpose. centralized DPS to offset the small squad size. this approach was in contrast to the soviet, who instead of centralized dps had additional durability. outfight or outlast. dont expect both on a 240mp unit let alone one that starts with a snare....

So, I ran a very primitive test to actually see the difference between LMG grens and VSL grens.

At 20 range, against Vet3 Double BAR riflemen, at Vet3, behind green cover.
I ran a total of 20 runs each.

My observation is,
The time difference between the VSL and standard LMG grens to get wiped is really small. There were even 4 cases where LMG Grens outlasted the VSL and the difference between the amount of manpower bleed both upgrades dealt was almost indifferent.

Seriously, I wonder if my cases were all the extremes or if I did something wrong ? I'd like to see some other persons tests but from my observations, the upgrade is just bad for a doctrinal upgrade that the commander is all about considering you are giving up on the long range DPS which will add more bleed to the enemy, you don't get the so called "insane survivability" and for short range, you have the PGrens anyways.
Grens are finally good.

I think testing is vs explosives tanks shells is smart. I think this was the intent of the chance, not inf combat with small arms.

Meh forget VSL its not worth it leave it to the top players and on whatever maps and situation they will be good even with its many cons especially when G43 gets buffed. Pick an upgrade who lose on all ranges or the chad stock upgrade LMG.

Because its a great vehicle in the spirit of the doctrine and it provides reinforcement and suppression?

Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

Have you seen what mp40 strom can do in one of these things. If you did, you'd have your answer.

Isn't it better just to say it's frontline support mainly with the bonus of reinforcement.
