Seems like the penal satchel no longer OHK building, and buildings in general seems to be tougher.
While I do approve the overall increase in building durability, the penal satchel need to OHK buildings. It's really the only thing the entire unit is useful for.
does the Penal satchel no longer ohk building?

It's a bug iirc, they accidentally changed something that made buildings extremely resistant to even powerful explosions. Should be fixed next patch.

Its not a bug about the grenades, i read that in the patch notes (don't remember which one). They want to make the buildings tougher against grenades.
Don't know about the satchel thou.

They should change penals all together they have no definite role in the game whatsoever. Spending so much MP for a unit that throws only satchels is not worth it

Remember when satchels would otk anything in deep snow and even your own penals ?
My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.
Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

Grenades.
Satchel charge is a 5-10kg bag of explosives, hardly qualifies as grenade and its impossible to use as such.
Maybe it's 'cause the Axis players aren't a bunch of forum crybabies, and they keep their cool and fight the uphill battle, unlike some of their "allied" counterparts.

What did i say Katitof? If you read the post of the OP, he says that the buildings seem much tougher then before and i gave him an explanation.
Your post was so unnecessary!

collapsing building is also one of few uses the satchel had. with a ~4 seconds timer most units can easily get out of the way.

I dunno, I like using Penal Troops. Sometimes people just don't expect it and forget satchels are a thing.

@OP
Are you sure about this proposition?
About a week ago, I wanted to write something elsewhere about Penals and satchel charges, and took the time to use a Custom game, in order to test the Penals with a satchel charge against the central church in Semoskiy. It was still made of matchsticks and went down to one charge.
EDIT
Please ignore the above. The strength of the church has now altered considerably.
Therefore, I assume the Penals can still do the same with bunkers, but have not tested that recently.

one week age was before the release of UKF. Buildings have been changed since then.
I've seen the satchel failing to demolish buildings multiple times in game. I haven't tried it with bunkers.

They are still not a unit you would use in an everyday match.
You can see them once in a while for the lulz, nothing more.
It feels like they are in the unit roster just to fill a spot in T1, but never to be used.
Would like to see them being buffed a bit. So they could be used in the meta.

Same for me with the british counterpart (Gannon bomb?).

It mostly affects stronger buildings, like Brick or Stone or Plaster. They messed something up that makes these buildings extremely resilient to the point where AVRE and Sturmtiger's can barely dent them.
And don't ask me why Plaster is considered a strong building, that's just Relic Logic.

Thank you for your persistence.
I have now been back and tested the church - you are quite right
: it will not fall to one satchel charge any more. In fact, it is a really sturdy building now.

They do more damage than conscrips at all ranges plus there is a flamer upgrade. The role is anti-infantry.
collapsing building is also one of few uses the satchel had. with a ~4 seconds timer most units can easily get out of the way.
In the experimental patch thingie Relic has going they removed time to get out of a building all-together. Let's see how that turns out in the end.
My mommy always said there were no monsters - no real ones - but there are.

That's not true, they're weaker at long range than Conscripts. The Flamethrower is getting nerfed soon too.
