(...math...)
Math says grens reinforce for slightly LESS then other squads in comparison to conscripts for example.
Grens lose 1 model (3/4):
Total HP pool -25%
Total DPS -25%
Total models -25%
DPS vs. remaining 3 models +8% (since each takes 33% now)
Rifles lose 1 model (4/5):
Total HP pool -20%
Total DPS -20%
Total models -20%
DPS vs. remaining 4 models +5% (each takes 25% now)
Continued below
Every time a gren squad takes a loss, its effectiveness drops FAR more than any other mainline squad in the game. This snowballs as losses increase at a quicker rate than any other squad, meaning they need to retreat sooner, reducing field time/presence. In addition, the cost per loss is greater, even though the chance for a loss is also greater, resulting in a much higher combat-upkeep than other squads.
Logic says they should cost less.

Yeah, except its Ost who have sniper behind them, not USF.
You're suppose to screen for sniper/HMG and let them do the magic. Grens aren't meant to be on pair with rifles. Gren models are also more durable on model to model basis then rifles.
If you're not dropping rifle models faster or just as fast, you're doing something wrong.
The only reason why USF doesn't auto loses against that is because of squads on tech.
And last but not least, there is 251 which can keep your squads on field.

If only Grens could have G43s & LMG42 like they used to...
there's like three doctrines with the g43, and one them is rarely used.

Axis infantry are basically fine but the 1919 Rifle blob is probably too strong, especially when they're backed by the Major and the Ambulance. The shortened retreat distance and the best healing in the game helps a lot.

+1 That's it.
Especially on larger maps in the big game modes FRPs really encourage blobbing and gives USF and OKW (and brits) such a huge advantage over SU/Ostheer. Allow forward healing and forward reinforcing but please remove retreat mechanic from OKW truck/Ambulance/Glider/Forward Assembly and Major (did I forget one?).

And after very early-game, the USF can have an M3/Quad/Etc. behind them. That's why I suggested the "bolster" ability should be locked behind T3 (as a separate upgrade). Early/mid game would be exactly the same, and late would simply give a slight boost to Grens.
And while Ost has a 251, USF has the Medic truck, which can heal on top of reinforcing... with a Major setting an FRP at it.
