It's definitely counterable and dodge able, yes. But so are every other grenade in the game. The difference is they cost only a mere 10 munitions and are generally better than 30+ munition grenades.

The problem is Volksgrens with their Shreks and 5 Vet are super powerful against Tanks, and with Infiltration Tactics they are still really good against all infantry in the game despite having a Shrek that counters tanks. It should be one or the other, with a munitions increase to 15 or 20 Volks blobs won't be able to spam infiltration tactics at every single given opportunity, and yet still have enough munitions to all be geared up with Shreks.

• Randomness, no one likes an ability that is random and the ability to wipe squads for 10MU shouldn't be given to a 235MP long range squad on the sole argument that it's random. It is not fun for any partie involved.
  
• I never ever saw the timer on those volks and i tried to use this grenade as often as possible.
  
• The wind-up animation is almost non existant if used defensively (try it).
  
• With practice you can get them to land on the assaulting team almost everytime.

yea you never have actually used them against a human in a real match have you? you have only had them thrown at you? right?

And yet ? Wy the Volks should get so much power against a special unit in close combat?? Thats simply not balanced.

sturm pios are forced to retreat instantly since 2 snipers take them down to half a squad after the first shot. the flank wont be successful and youll have some expensive reinforcing to do if youre even able to get away.

like i said before, blobbing will help you force the snipers back, but completely contradicts the whole idea of out capping your opponent.

probably my favorite suggestion. "keep the guards busy" aka sacrifice a vehicle

they are the exact same speed as your units. the difference is you will be losing mp and running from them every time you see them. you cant run forever.

as enjoyable as this is, and after having seen your playercard, im going to have to call this. i think the fact your suggestions include the most expensive late game infantry, sacrificing light vehicles into guards and flanking with sturm pios speaks for itself
