SBP Change Notes

If lava nades on volks are such an issue, why not change them back to normal Model 24 granades, but with buffed damage against units in buildings, emplacements, heavy cover etc? And maybe keep the flame granade for the Feuersturm docrtine.

The original reason for their inclusion was to provide anti-garrison for OKW (and that was before lot of other anti-garrison tools that OKW has now), so a copycat molotov was given to them. I do not see why the lava granade cannot be now replaced with something that is still effective against units in buildings, but w/o area denial and dot damage… and also something that is historically more accurate.

The changes to Feuersturm were actually a deliberate middle finger to that very notion. Now with that doctrinal version of volks, they're effectively locked in for EOL.

wouldn't it make more sense for the same doctrine unlock that grant flamethrower to sturm also give flame nade to volks?

I am pretty certain the flame nade being the standard option for volks is a core design of the balance team's vision for the game. So I'd say your answer is a hard no.
