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.

I'd like you to provide a replay with good use of PzGrens because for me there's no way in hell to actually use them well as AI squad. High cost and taking ages to reinforce, yeah, thanks, I'd rather recruit another Gren LMG squad or Flamer Pios.

But again - other fractions have much better infantry for close/mid range combat. The biggest difference is babysitting squads. With panzergrens you have to be super careful. Very often, for example, they lose one model in the first volley even when the squad is full health. They can be wiped by a mortar, etc. It's true you can use them well but it's (again with ostheer) much more complicated and risky than with other fractions. One mistakes with them and you lose huge amount of manpower and often munitions. Your opponents may be more concentrating on the general picture of the game while you have to be babysitting mgs, paks, and panzergrens. I guess it's the idea that ostheer should have smaller squad sizes that makes it difficult to balance ostheer units well. IMO they should be 5 member squads and it would be soo much better (even if each model is less efficient). Compare them to bazooka infantry - both effective vs tanks and inf.

Fun fact: a squad of Panzergrenadiere with Ambush Camo and Schrecks will oneshot a T-34, or any US vehicle except the Bulldozer Sherman.Fun fact no. 2: It doesn't work anymore. I tested it out and it doesn't one shot anything worth mentioning except a halftrack.

It does. Just not enough damage to actually kill a regular one hit anymore like the ancient days of CoH2. Now you would do about 2/3 damage to the guy.
But.. but.. why??
Does the Ambush Bonus not apply to Schrecks anymore or something?

But Panzergrenadiers have only slightly better DPS on range than stock Grenadiers (even falling below them on far range) and are much worse than LMG Grens, all that while costing 340mp. What's the point then?

I will simply lol at anyone expecting such a change to a 2 year old general use infantry.
Equally possible are pershing for USF, IS-3 for soviets or ober nerf for OKW.
