But... You know what word "Volks" means, right? Volksgrenadeers and Volkssturm groups were pretty same german "conscripts". Wehrmacht tried to put there as much as possible experienced soldiers, who were injured or doesn't have good health qualities at all, but in late war casualteis were so big - there weren't enough of them.The term conscript isn´t a term that necessarily describes the performance of a unit. I had relatives that were conscripted in 1941. One ended up being in a Panzergrenadier division. That´s some kind of crack status. But nonetheless he was still a conscript. In fact almost every soldier back then was conscripted.
But in game, Volksgrenadeers performs very good, way better than soviet conscripts. Sometimes even better, than usual grenadeers.
Soviet soldiers, from other side, in 1944-45 had really good combat experience after all those years of war. New conscripted soldiers also were trained and trained good - USSR did have time for training soldiers in 1944-45. But not conscripts were real core of Red Army in 1944-45, they had a lot of real good soldiers in action, passed through bunch of campaings and combats
The term "conscripts" for the Soviet mainline infantry could very well be used for the Grenadiers in Coh2. It´s just a description.
