the granadiers rifle granade i think it was fixed after the hot fix, some small changes in game can be made without a patch, so rifle granade was nerfed, and its not so strong now, that was in hot fix, or in 25 march update. The granades dont whipe 5 of 6 mans anymore, and they are even less deadlier to shocks. Rifle granades are OK now.
That was small AoE changes. It's not enough.

Thank the Lord, you finally posted a replay to show why you're struggling with this game so much.
1. Learn about TrueSight. The MG didn't start firing until the Conscripts were halfway into its fire zone because it couldn't see them...
2. The person controlling the MG42 had ample time to reposition the MG once the conscripts were suppressed to avoid molotov (because of its relatively short range). This is precisely the difference between molotov and rifle grenade that we're discussing here.
In summary, L2P issue here.

The mg42 also didn't take much damage from the molotov either.

The MG42 has a massive advantage as a "leave and forget" type of MG anyway.

Uh...are you talking about the beta or CoH1 or something?

It is much more of a set and forget weapon vs the maxim.

It's nothing of the sort. That is a great way to lose an MG and quick. I'm shocked people think you can still use MG42s for lockdown...

I take it maths wasn't your strong point at school? The mg42 has a wider arc than the maxim, thus it requires less micro because if left alone, it has a greater chance of suppressing infantry. Are you denying this is the case? Regardless of how different the arc is, it is wider.
Can you also post your player card as well please.

It's much better than the Maxim in that role, simple fact.

None of that matters when you cannot even turn back infantry coming at you head-on. In fact it require MORE micro with all the molotovs that will be flying your way and retreating you have to do because the MG42 is almost completely anemic in it's current state.
The fact that you are even suggesting that you can effectively "leave and forget" the MG42 in CoH2 right now tells me that you must only player Soviets and that you are really bad at that too.
Also not sure what my player card has to do with this argument, how the MG42 is NOT fire and forget unit and how you are completely clueless to the current state of the game? Care to clear that up for me champ?

But you don't if you are telling me that you can set and forget an MG42 in the current patch.
Wider arcs do not mean they can be left to guard even direct advances, let alone multiple units within it's arc. The wider arc just means it doesn't have to reposition to acquire a new target...suppressing and pinning that target is another story. And MG42 that has trouble with these basic MG requirements in the CoH world can never be left alone or forgotten.
I'm not saying rifle-nades are perfect right now, not what I was talking about. I have a huge problem with the way MG42s are being describes here as it is totally inaccurate.
I could be the worst player ever, and yet...i'm still right about this so my player card is again, irrelevant to my argument.
