PGrens post 4/24 patch

I mean why should a full auto weapon not do high damage at close range. What does this have to do with a chart?

PGs were too good at everything last patch. The Soviets had no infantry that could take them 1v1 at any range.

PGs now are much better than grens at short/medium range with a nuclear grenade to boot and the option to get AT if they need it. They are just fine.

i like pgrens now. Use them at medium range vs shocks. And they will win.

Why the heck shocks wouldnt come close to you instead of staying at mid range?

I have rotated these out of my build order as well. For cost they are too high and I would rather place an lmg Gren on my flank, or if there are tons of infantry another 42.

Shocks devastate them and the smoke they throw negates better placement of the PG's before the fight.

Also if your opponent calls an ISU 152 have fun dropping shreks.

I personally never used pgrens as anti infantry because I find grens more than good enough.

Use them in cover, or on flanks like any other infantry squad. Since they lost their armor you can't just run up to stuff and win anymore. They still do insane DPS, have no moving penalty, and mow down retreating squads better than other squad in the game.

Gotta adapt

Actually, I've noticed, along with other assault infantry, they do suffer a moving penalty making all assault troops required to be stationary to do their full damage and their burst is also shorter until they stop. Haven't run down a squad since the changes.

PGs are still decent in my books being supporting infantry/flankers, though you cannot charge anymore. They're also the only unit I find that can actually clear the weapon teams before retreat since the change from 25% damage to 25% received accuracy.

I invite the resident Soviet fanboys to upload a replay using PGs against players in the top 250.

"They're good at medium range"

What a joke.
