Yeah, i agree, pg should be put back to 1.2 armor. Maybe then up the cost to 360?

PG was never good in COH2 and even worst in this patch, only noobs can't handle them.

When playing Soviet, I am quite happy when I saw this, because it means how fast I can bleed his manpower, 45 per reinforcement, almost all my tanks can get 1-2 guys in the first shot, kite them then Ostheer get nothing but losing manpower, they was never able to contest shocks or even good positioned Cons. In this patch they need to get into Cons effective range before able to kill something, their nerfed armor means they die like flies.

When playing Ostheer, I only get them by calling 250 as a bonus and only use for Grens or flame Pio for the half track, or when I floated too much manpower, Screck is so ineffective that they can only finish off fausted armor or flanking half dead tanks or half dead squad. They are too expensive for this function, I prefer spending the muni to LMG, G43 or S mine.

Saying me playing only one faction is like, L2R, please.

Having equal/weak armor for infantry squads that are already smaller than their soviet counterparts is stupid POINT BLANK.

Grens win at all ranges BULLSHIT. Time and time again 1 of my gren squads vs 1 con squad will get killed dueling in equal cover.

Gren, superior training? Conscripts, only good in large numbers and in cover? All a lie.

Relic patch description box please, it's incorrect.

How about Panzergrens with only one shreck @ 60 muni?

They tried this in the beta and all it did was:

A. Made the Panzergrenadier a unit you could not attack with Infantry OR Vehicle.
B. Supported spamming Panzergrenadiers with 1 Panzerschreck each all over the map.
C. Also supported Panzergrenadier blobbing for the same reason (still a problem today).

There's a reason they made the Panzerschreck upgrade a mandatory 2. The only way I could see 1 Panzerschreck working is if the upgrade also replaced their Assault Rifles with Kar 98's.
