Man, if only Rifles could get that Upgrade, you could put it on Rifle Company too...
I still uphold USF doesn't need these Molotovs, the bundle should be Willy Pete and Dozer Blades for Shermans.

After a couple more games, I start to question the design of having both regular grenades and "molotovs" for rifles both for 30 munitions and both tied to the grenade upgrade. One doesn't really offer much over the other, which is probably why there are no units with both. And since both are tied to tech, you automatically gain access to both. If molotovs were not tied to tech, then at least, they'd offer a cost saving option in terms of tech cost. Otherwise there are very few situations where one would wish for a molotov over a grenade.
The throw range of the molotovs does not seem to be affected by vet (needs verification).
I also noticed that the grenade bulletins (cheaper and increased range) do not work for the molotovs, this is likely owed to the mod character, but should probably be changed/fixed for the final version, IF molotovs are to remain a feature for riflemen.
Ever tried to nade an infantry squad in a garison? they just laugh and hop out and hop back in 1 second later. Incendiaries on the other hand at least deny the building for a bit. Clearing garrisons with direct fire as USF is a bitch and a half and I love to have any sort of flame weapon to help with that.
IMO if it really is statistically a molotov (stated in the patchnotes IIRC) it should cost 20 like a molotov though. Throw animation is shorter but conscripts have oorah and rifles don't, so IMO it balances out in terms of performance.

If they were cheaper, they would be more appealing. As stated, for 30 munitions and tied to the same tech, they don't offer much and if it is house clearing you are looking for, that's what supposedly the RE rifle nades are for, you also are probably better of going for assault engineers or even rifle company.
I'm not very fond of the commander in general, to be honest.

I'd still wish Rangers lost their 3rd weapon slot, which is pointless most of the time when using Thompsons, so they could keep their Damage Reduction for flavour.

The CD on the Sherman WP is way too low at 10 secs.
Suggestions:
Move rifle grenades to Riflemen as an upgrade taking all weapon slots and Molotov to R.E. as an squad upgrade mutually exclusive with Smoke grenade but no tech requirements. Add AT grenade option if needed.

Conscripts pay less munitions because they have to pay for the tech, unlike OKW.

What's wrong with making rifle molotovs techless? Pointless to make it 30 munitions otherwise.

Imo mainline infatry should not have access to anti garrison tools (yes that goes for VG also).
That gives other units utility and thus increases diversity.

Garrisons are an annoying gameplay mechanic anyway (as in: too strong). Unless they made going point blank range counter garrison cover, I don't mind flame nades.

1) If rifle grenades are moved Riflemen they will able to clear garrison, at the price of no weapon upgrades.
2) If mainline infatry have no access to anti-garrison tools and other units have access to them there more reason to diversify one's built.

If the choices is between having incendiary grenades for riflemen and Rifle grenades for R.E. or the opposite this later is much better especially if it takes up all weapon slot for riflemen.
Currently R.E. with rifle-grenades are more a like more mobile mortar, while the affordable and Riflemen gain allot of utility.

Ah so its better because its worse for usf? Gotcha.

No its better from design point of view.
For instance R.E. in fighting position will fire 2 rifle grenades while they can also use volley fire to pin.
In addition a blob with rifle-grenades and smoke is cancerous.
The change will also allow incendiary grenades to be available without unlocking grenades.

Cover to Cover - good, very good.
Changes are fine in case of rangers (damage modifier was strange on infantry unit, RA is better IMO). I still would like to see decrease in chance to drop weapon.
Additionally, some vet req. decrease for Calliope would be nice.

Thanks for finally making the Rangers third slot worth a damn, Balance Mod Team!
When they have three zooks are they three more powerful zooks or just standard ones?

They get the elite bazookas now (if they pick up bazookas from the rack), which deal 20 more damage and have 30 more penetration on all ranges.

Thanks for the info!
When they pick up two bazookas from the rack they actually get three, so that's three extra powerful bazookas. Which could be a bit too much, especially on a commander that has a sprint ability that can be used on several squads at once.
Are they supposed to get three (for the price of two) or is that a bug?
