Are Grenadiers any good anymore?
Posts: 1705
Can't fire on move.
4 man asking to be wiped.
Poor poor mid-late game survivability due to vet bonus disparity.
Can't fight well except in cover,can't build cover.
Fausts no longer the same utility.
I find this unit is just too lacklustre to be much good anymore.With wehrmacht ur better off relying on osttruppen or pzgrens.Overall bad state of wehrmacht infantry particularly lategame.
Still i'm often told how its a 'fantastic' versatile unit with superb scaling .
Just me or other wehrmacht players get the feeling too that grenadiers are just poor now?

I believe mg-gren-gren-mg to be the best build for holding your side of the map against the USF
Grenadiers don't cut it anymore. This isnt vanilla, USF and brits will just crush you if your fighting force consists majorly of grenadiers.

Combining osttruppen screens with support weapons and tanks/pumas in behind as support works much better for at least me personally than relying on grens on in the latter stages of the game.
I'm using mostly Mobile Defense doctrine so that might of course telll something about my style of play

I've found that Osttruppen tend to fill Grenadiers role better nowadays; neither of them can really stand toe-to-toe with Allied infantry and the Osttruppen 6 man squad provides utility and durability.

Ostruppen were always the right choice vs usf. And now with their bonus working in buildings they are even better. Only usf doctrine that counters ostruppen spam is rifle company.
