Infantry sections start out with .8 received accuracy and get another -33% at vet 2. Making them the one of the most durable squads in game, especially with the 5 man upgrade. Compared to grens with .91 with -23% at vet 3, and vet 5 volks with only .81. Allied infantry with super durability is already far higher than most axis infantry.
32 would be my bare minimum. They are godlike in cover. Have had scenarios where two volksgrenadier squads in green cover lost to one tommie section in green cover. Tommie section was vet 2, both volksgrenadiers were vet 3.
Throw a nade and make him move. He loses the buff, your prolly burning up the ground cover, and yea, its not like hes gonna throw a nade.. Hes rushing something so that hes not stuck with no mp the entire game due to bleeding.
