Since the rifle grenade plays as an ability which goes along with the strengths of the grenadier.(Long-range combat) I've played plenty of games where I am up against Ostheer players.
I have two options which may lessen the odds of squad gibbing.

1. Closing the distance. This is my safer option since it deny's the ability to be used while going against the strengths of the grenadiers.

2. Squad formation. Remember how you can reface tanks, well this also applies to infantry as well. Unless you are making a formation near cover, this option can allow the models to spread out unless they're right next to their cover. This lessens the rifle grenade's power since the models were refaced and spread out of their cluster formations. This may not work well if the unit on the receiving end happens to have low health or in negative cover.

I don't see why this thread is needed in the Balance section. This is more of a learn to play issue. After playing plenty of games against the Ostheer, along with mistakes, rifle grenades are expected to be used by the Ostheer at some point. To disregard this priority when facing grenadiers is the reason why it would seem that it is a cheap ability.

Does it need some tweaking? Yes, maybe the ability should have a lower range when grenadiers are suppressed?

That's not mystery at all. Even 222 cars can destroy Su-76s, just because SU has veeery low armor, specially in back. SU-76 is not medium tank at all - it is light tank with med-tank gun.

So, Luchs can destroy SU, there is nothing specific in that.

In a way it is, because there is question of priorities. I know the SU-76 can take damage and be killed by the 222 and Luchs. I'm just questioning how an SU-76 was allowed to get killed in the first place. I could see getting killed by a at least a StuG or a Puma. Unless the player who started this thread had happened to get the SU-76 in a crossfire of Volksgrenadiers and the Luchs finished it off.

I've tried to play other RTS games like Starcraft 2 or Total War, but this game makes itself more unique because it is a WW2 game. I mean there are other games like Blitzkrieg or Men of War, but CoH2 tries to keep the game fun and tries to have some authenticity. I mean, the units speak like actual people who don't realize their meaningless sacrifice to take a patch of dirt. Plus, seeing an M10 tank destroyer crush volksgrenadier squads is more satisfying than a baneling rush into a Terrain base.

Indirectly, I also get people to try out this game due to a few of my stories...

Snipers besides the british one do 0 damage with their rifles. Even a 1 HP kubel technically hardcounters them 1v1.

Unless it is an Ost sniper with its vet 1 ability...

just send it to the field run towards a tommie and get healed. but I did kill a UKF sniper while I spot a sq of tommie with almost full health with medic actived, and stay behind. I rushed two 222 in and found the sniper hugging tommies with half health and ate it for breakfast.

You just gave me a good Fanfic idea.
