What do you expect to get for 360? Instant squad wipes versus german troops.
Something along the lines of 240mp+60mu upgrade unit that would actually beat them with their own 60mu upgrade.
You know, maybe a similar relation that cons have with pgrens, you know, the other 360mp squad?
Like there is not enough of that already. Their long to mid range damage is fine. They can take on G43 grens when in cover and with vet and melt away Assault grens like butter when using a buffer of conscripts inbetween and great for flanking suopport weapons... what more do you want?
Tier unit with elite infantry cost that beats conditionally basic, spammable infantry unit and beats a cheaper, 0cp unit when screened with their own basic infantry? You think that is enough? Well, its not.
Or I will ask it this way:
Why pgrens excel at what they do, are extremely cost effective, have upgrade that changes their role and they excel in that new role as well and can work on their own, while penals always are dependent on fighting significantly weaker squads or need heavy support for themselves, while being a specialist one role AI unit that can not effectively fight infantry?
