You didn’t mention riflemen. So volks, a defensive infantry unit whose kar98s have no moving accuracy shouldn’t defend itself from rifles and their far superior close range dps with sandbags, but on the other hand rifles should also win long range engagements by abusing sandbags.

The discrepancy between grens utility and other mainline infantry is just too big in relation to cost. You're quoting my response to arguments suggesting that Infantry Sections are more or less similarly powerful to grens and suggestions that grens are too strong and similarly durable to other mainline infantry. My idea was to give them the ability to build sandbags.
Allied tanks are no longer as fragile as many players seem to suggest. Their cost more than reflects performance and the abilities they get. My perspective is simple - for the cost you have to pay for allied tanks they are superior to axis tanks (however controversial to some it will sound). That's part of grens problem - ostheer tanks used to be more powerful compared to allied counterparts and allowed for fragile 4 man infantry squads supporting them (some people on this forum suggest that better ostheer support weapons are supposed to make up for the weaker grens – that is simply wrong). The design was that the arrival of axis tanks used to more than make up for their fragile infantry - it's no longer true as tanks now are more or less similar between factions with sort of more mobility and range on allied side and slower and a bit more sturdy axis tanks (with exceptions).

They don't require less investments! To build grens you need to invest manpower and fuel into a building and waste some time building it with pios, which reduces your map presence. Conversely - you don't need to build any structure to buy rifleman, conscrips or infantry sections. They are larger squads with many upgrade possibilities and less vulnerable to snipers and random wipes. Very often they retain their full model squad status taking severe beating losing just health. They are usually quicker to heal and cheaper to reinforce. They are much more effective on the move, which is often crucial when facing indirect fire and support weapons. They simply scale much better!

True with ambu – but is does two things – heals and reinforces quickly. Axis is mad up of two factions – OKW is a different story. Ostheer light vehicles are extremely vulnerable to small arms fire and bazookas. They are laughable in comparison to allies LV and very micro intensive, especially 222.

You are wrong here. Of course an expensive squad should not be ignored. The problem is that you should compare them to paras/rangers or bazooka rifles rather than to echelons. This is the problem of most allied players. They get a very cheap expendable infantry, equip them with bazookas, get 5th man free upgrade with vet, add a sweeper and don’t even realise that they get a potent at squad for very little. Ostheer must sacrifice an expensive anty infantry squad to get any anti tank capabilities. You don’t need to sacrifice your rifles for at support. I wish osheer could equip pios with a shreck – it would make it more even and you probably wouldn’t see shrecked pzgrens.

I know all about it – and trust me I just roll over such configurations with any allied army looking how easy it is for me to inflict serious bleed to ostheer just too easily. I lose against ostheer only when the opponent is much better than me and you can tell that from their much better micro.

Of course not everything has to be nerfed. I only wanted grens sandbags......

ok. I sort of forgot. But maybe grens should build them and engineers should get a panzershreck or democharge instead?.

Because they straight up lose to Riflemen, Infantry Sections and Penals and are about equal to 7 man Conscripts. Plus they don't have great support weapons to surround them with.

it seems some guys here know only the Performance from cons patches ago. Today they arent useless and perform ok for their price, surviveabilty, Abilitys and tool. And in the sov faction as it is now.

what do u want? Grens, IS or rifles dps? 0.8 model size? seriously? for the cheapest mainline with 6(7) models with the highest Ability set....than make the price around 300.
