Panzergrenadiers - worth it?

Am I doing something wrong or is this unit really not worth their price?

For their manpower cost, I think they are grand for their Dps and intended purpose. Problem is, the game has moved on and without a munition upgrade to bump their AI ability, they pale in comparison to some units. Just a touch more armor might do the job though, as when a unit does burst damage and takes down one single member, that really hurts their dps, in comparison to units who carry weapons like LMGS, where the rest of the squad are glorified bodyguards!

Yea, Panzer grens. are not worth it.They die like flies and they are not good anti infantry.With shrecks they miss or they take too long to fire.With vet they are a bit better but they are not worth 340 man power.
They suck.bann them!

Btw funny thing happens when you capture an mg especially maxim (that can easily be flanked due to small arc of fire) with pgrens. The enemy cannot flank mg at long range as it will reposition and supress his squads so he will try to come close or mid. And if your mg is crued with healthy pgrens, there is no allied unit (apart from shocks and smg paras) that can win such an engagement as they would have to close in on pgrens, it means crossing mid range under fire of stg that excells on that range and then fighting in close range where it is also quite good.

It works very well when you have to face soviet mediums and light usf vehicles.
However, you have to be EXTREMELY careful when facing shermans or IS2 - if your pgrens will get targeted, in 70% of cases it's a 340mp and 120 munitions drain.
Also there's nothing worse than cons running about with stolen shrecks

So yes, they're absolutely worth it imo, if you use them well. Either use them to defend your flanks, or to flank an opponent. Don't charge enemy units head on however, and in most cases: don't go for close range, go for medium range encounters.

I pretty much always get them tbh, I don't see why people think they're worthless. I guess they're still stuck in the past and think they're charging units. They're not. They don't even have to charge, because they don't need to be at close range. They excel at medium range, and will shred any squad that tries to charge them out of cover (even shocks if you're positioned well, but that's a tricky one).

Simply put,they die way too fast..prone to getting one shotted and will bleed u dry trying to replace losses.Also 1 model dying loses 75% DPS unlike LMG armed units or 6 man squads.

PGrens have very respectable damage output though imo for their cost and don't need a munitions upgrade to be effective AI. Just a slight tweak to their survivability really and i'd think they'd be in a good spot for non doctrinal infantry.
Says more about the general design of WFA units imo that they are now so overshadowed by the likes of LMG paratroopers and Obersoldaten. You have to actually use Pgrens smart with positioning.

They don't die faster than pretty much any other infantry. So, like pretty much any other infantry, don't charge with them. It's not so fucking hard. And the losing 25% DPS per model is no argument, it's the same for any other SMG squad and noone's crying about them.

Other infantry don't cost 42 reinforce and 340 mp.Neither do any advanced infantry die as fast.And no other smg squads don't lose 25% dps with 1 model.SO u don't know what ur talking about.
