The german hand grenade is called the stick grenade or the potato masher...it had more throwing range than the apple grenade due to its shape.

That is a well known nickname, same case as US "Pineapple".


BTW, Volks is quite shitty without vet, unlike vCOH1 they can stand against Rifles while in good cover, they cannot 1v1 and win anything (except US engi & Commie engi) even in the best cover, but they becomes more beast after vetted.

Therefore, they are best used with Sturmpio, Kubel, MG34/MG42, Gren, etc, covering their ass, farming their exp, then they can do something.

Wikipedia:


The very distinctive appearance led to its being called a "stick grenade", or a "potato masher" in British Army slang

Even conscripts? But having 5 models technically means it lives longer than normal grens?

But its rather fair with volks - they are a mix of trained and untrained soldiers - at no vet they arent really good, but they improve greatly as they vet.

It'd be neat if the "mix of trained and untrained soldiers" (while technically incorrect) meant that some models were better than others.

It looks like non-doctrinally, Kubel + Volksgrens is going to be essential. Kubel spam? hah

Its a car, not even an armored car. Enough small arms in cover seems to be a simple counter. Soviets have oorah and AT nades, or tier 2 AT gun (kubel easily loses to m3). Americans can just shoot a smoke grenade at it and it wont be able to shoot.

If kubels still cost only 240 mp, then you can try. At least you can get some fuel from the wreckages.
