Grenades bug and lag

Hi all, just a while ago I had my grenadier just staring at the enemy and did not fire the rifle grenade. I ordered him to do it twice and both times he never fired. Even my shock troops and Panzergrenadiers have trouble throwing grenades. Both of them sometimes will take a while to find a grenade and stare at the enemy or never throw their nades at all.

Thanks.

Happens at least 3 times in every game I play. Very annoying and needs to be looked at.

Panzerfüsiliers nearly never throw their grenades for me unless the whole squad is standing still before throwing, and even then it can take a while; other OKW squads seem more reliable for me but rarely a Volksgrenadier squad also takes its time.

We all do, sadly. Btw, did all the grenades got nerfed or something? It seems that rifle grenade, shock's nade, guards and rifle's nade seem to scratch more than kill. Grenades should be killing people not wounding people. This ain't Counter-Strike.

Started happening to me after the june 24th (Operation Epsom?) patch. Still, I think all grenades need a buff back. Elbe day, March Deployment and older grenades were better.

Yes I completely agree, my rifle grenades just don't fire sometimes and after the ability says it has been used (I assumed it took my munitions as well but this I cannot confirm). A very frustrating bug however it could be something to do with lag.

Same happens to volks, they just stare at the enemy and don't throw that 'nade. But it seems they are also bugged and refuse to retreat after the grenade bug happens.

Happens to me on all units which have abilities, including the Elefant (telling it to go scope mode results in no change).

It happens to me too even with molotovs. Sometimes I've to click again to throw grenades as if the game didn't register my first attempt.

Yeah this is a pretty common issue for me, sometimes the unit never even throws the grenade despite being charged the munitions for one.

I just had one game where it happen about 8 times in a row. There goes 240 munitions down the drain. Could have got 2 Flamer HT or 4 Panzerschrecks. It's getting really annoying

Yeah, it's a bug. It seems to happen if you issue your squad to throw a grenade and they either:

1.) You right-click move before your grenade is thrown, canceling the animation but it goes into cool down and costs munitions still.

2.) The guy throwing the grenade dies or gets hit by another grenade/mortar/arty forcing him to move and canceling the animation.

3.) The enemy moves out of grenade range if you selected the enemy squad with a grenade.

The only ways I've got around this problem is to manually throw grenades on the ground near the enemies. Make sure not to click enemy squads because if you do, it'll more likely occur. They really need to fix it. I hate wasting munitions and good opportunities.

The main cause for me is no.2. No.3 never happens since I nade the dirt.

The bug seems most common with Panzerfusiliers, I've noticed it almost every time I've tried to throw a grenade with them.

That's no good. Closing in the target only to have the grenade throw fail.
