I'm pretty sure the issue here is that grenadiers lack the ability to get upgrades to compete with other infantry late game (other than squad spacing, but that's another story). Grenadiers are balanced early game but in late game they get raped by double bar rambos and one shot by any goddamned firecracker that explodes a mile away from them. Reasoning behind this is because Ostheer is
supposed to rely... on their "late game armor dominance".
If UKF can get 5 man, better spacing, and the ability to purchase 2 weapon ups (AND have better armor than Ost with their racecar steamrollers and stock tigers), then why not Ostheer?
LUL coz grenadiers have PANZERFAAUST wow much Kreygasm
