Gren just can't fight them, they die like flies, even 2 gren fighting one penal can't stop him

What would you solve it?

I heard Penals are crap and not worth it? Have I been misled?

I wish i was playing the same game, where penals can outperform grens.

Once grens get upgrades, they are much more cost effective than penals. Also: rifle nades. Or Pgrens.

And if the soviet player doesn't go with guards, he has absolutely nothing against vehicles.


Penals are only good if they catch your opponent unaware with satchels. Penals need some love, not the other way around.

I think I might actually start using a squad of penals in my T1 sniper/con strat. I think it's going to work well, in theory at least.

>Grens get better when they are upgraded, did you know?
>Oh and Penals are bad

Wow. Don't listen to this guy.

Penals aren't bad for a unit that costs 280 MP and have 6 pop cap. Too bad they cost 360 mp and have a 9 pop cap. It would be like putting the p4 to the cost of the panther. It's still a good tank but over priced. They are basically G43 grens with no Faust that loses DPS fighting any infantry as Pgrens do facing a sniper.
