Elite Troops Stun Grenades causing terrible gameplay

Do you have a video or a replay of the issue? I've been unable to:

Stop a Retreating Squad with a Stun Grenade
or
Stopping a Squad from Retreating after getting hit with a Stun Grenade.

Thanks

remember when the stuka close air support strafing run pinned your units WHILE they were retreating? Ahhh fun times

This is what I have been trying to say. I'm not trying to "nerf axis."

Of course a mine, thrown grenade or gunfire should damage retreating units. It's interrupting retreating that is the issue.

You are fighting a losing battle here. Its obviously easier to set up strawmen against you than actually consider the consequences of something that cancels retreat.

Im in total agreement. The stun nades feel like cheating on retreating units.

I'm just humoring him. Cuddletronic already responded to me and checked the replay so I'm not worried about the guy who ALREADY admitted that he has little experience with or against stun nades has to say. Without his playercard displayed I can only assume he has zero matches played and is simply a forum warrior.

Well no, because retreat exists specifically to escape suppression/pin.

Thanks I was able to repro the Issue after getting the replay to work.

And now the patch notes for the 25th include Stun Grenade issues! Thank you very much for your prompt responses here and implementing the fixes Cuddle and the rest of the COH2 team.
