CORE INFANTRY -

Grenadiers
Vet 1(shit)
vet 2 +40% accuracy,
Vet3 -20% cooldown, -25% recharge time for Panzerfaust, -23% received accuracy

Conscripts
Vet 1(shit)
Vet 2 +40% accuracy, +25% molotov range
Vet 3 -20% weapon cooldown, -40% received accuracy, -25% AT grenade recharge

Nearly double recieved accuracy of gren.

Riflemen
Vet1 -AT grenade
Vet2 -23% received accuracy, -20% weapon cooldown
Vet3 -20% received accuracy,+30% accuracy, -50% ability recharge time, +25% grenade range

DOUBLE recieved accuracy in total.PLUS gets recieved accuracy from vet 2 instead of vet 3 which is just 1 vet due to rifle company.

Tommies
+10 Sight range in cover
Received accuracy -33%,
Adds 2 scoped enfield rifles to squad,+40% Accuracy,-20% cooldown

Still over 10% increased recieved accuracy and gets this at vet 2.Cheaper reinforce than gren, cover bonuses,5 man upgrade,dual equip,2 enfields at vet 3 etc etc.

Volksgrenadiers
10% received accuracy
+30% accuracy, -20% weapon cooldown
Passive Healing, -10% received accuracy
+40% sight range, +30% accuracy
-30% cooldown, -30% reload

Above will tell you why volks are downright horrible.Even at vet 5 their recieved accuracy is 20% which is less than even grenadiers,and less than vet 2 riflemen.No upgrades,no nothing.

ELITE/ADVANCED INFANTRY -

Panzergrenadiers
Unlocks the 'Field First Aid' ability(shit)
-25% weapon cooldown, -29% received accuracy
+40% accuracy, +25% grenade range

Crucially gets its rec accuracy at vet 2 like rifles..better survivability option than grens .

Stormtroopers
Unlocks the 'Field First Aid' ability(shit)
+40% accuracy, +25% Bundled grenade range
-29% received accuracy

Realtively Weak vet bonuses,especially no recived acc until vet 3.But if combiend with weapon upgrade and inherent rec accuracy can become very powerful at vet 3,though still has 4 men .


Shocks
Unlocks the 'Trip Wire Flares' ability(shit)
-25% weapon cooldown, -17% received accuracy, -40% smoke grenade recharge
+40% accuracy, +25% fragmentation grenade range

Weak vet bonuses,compensating for the powerful armor and 6 men.

Guards
Unlocks the 'Trip Wire Flares' ability
+10% penetration, +30% accuracy, -17% received accuracy
+30% duration of the 'button' ability, -20% weapon cooldown, -23% received accuracy

Very powerful vet.Near immortal at vet 3 with40% recieved accuracy and 6 men.


Fallschirmjager
Unlocks the 'Blendkörper 2H Frangible Smoke Grenade' ability
-29% received accuracy, passive cloak
-10% received accuracy, passive healing
+30% accuracy

Actually has good vet bonuses,too bad even greater vet requirements than ober at 440mp.



Panzerfusilier
Unlocks the 'Flare' ability
+40% accuracy, +25% grenade and flare range
-20% weapon cooldown, -25% grenade and flare recharge, -23% received accuracy

No scaling,but atleast doesn't wipe easy.

Obersoldaten
Unlocks the 'Blendkörper 2H Frangible Smoke Grenade' ability
+40% accuracy, -25% weapon cooldown
-29% received accuracy, passive healing
-29% received accuracy, can now suppress infantry
passive sprint

Becomes really strong at vet 4 living upto vet feature.Too bad can't reach there.

Paratroopers
25% ability recharge time
+25% accuracy, +25% grenade range, Passive Healing
-20% weapon cooldown, -29% received accuracy

Rangers
-25% Ability Recharge
Heals out of combat, +25% accuracy, +25% Grenade throw range
-20% cooldown, -29% Received Accuracy

Commandoes
Unlocks light smoke grenade
+25% accuracy,+25% to grenade range
Squad drops a big smoke grenade on retreat,and heals out of combat.

Poor scaling.


Above will tell you just how powerful riflemen and british vet bonuses make them(conscripts too in terms of survivability,if not firepower) in comparison to grenadier and volksgrenadier -both of which have like half of the rec accuracy.Plus lower models for gren.
The IS and rifle vet bonuses are overshadowing even those of elite infantry,and are far easier to vet up -especially with rifle company.

No what you need is Sniper and HMG42, and Grenadiers to support them. Not the other way around. You can replace grens by ostruppen if you want a better unit effectivness/price from a commander. It is not like it is different for any other faction.

Thats the point,grenadiers are not needed.There are better support units available.Too wipe-prone.Osttruppen wipe-proof and cost-effective.Pzgrens will protect mgs much better than grens and much better on offense.

Because Sturms have the fastest repair rate ingame, can upgrade to minesweepers, drop medical supplies, plant nondoctrinal mines, lay barbed wire? And because the nature of Sturms weapons make them effective vs squishy long range troops like Cons, and better for killing support weapons?

And rifles have immortality veterancy,2 LMGs,smoke,option for bazookas and OP scaling.Plus brurtal doctrinal support like flamer,1919,vet.

Has no shock impact like in coh1,which wasn't OP either.
Its neither an assault tank,nor a meatshield.The main mistake of coh2 was to give allies too many cheap 60 range Tank destroyers.
